To specify the nearest airport criteria:
1. Select the SET 4 page and turn on the cursor (
B).
2. Use the right inner knob to
select the minimum length run-
way desired for the airport to
qualify for the nearest airport list
(figure 3-86). Values between
1000 feet and 5000 feet or
between 300m and 1500m in
100 foot or meter increments may be selected.
3. Rotate the right outer knob clockwise to move the cursor over the run-
way surface criteria.
4. Turn the right inner knob to select either HRD or ANY. If ANY is cho-
sen, then both hard and soft surface runways meeting the required
runway length will be included in the nearest airport list. If HRD is
chosen, then only hard surface runways will be included. Hard surface
runways include concrete, asphalt, pavement, tarmac, brick, bitumen,
and sealed. Soft surface runways include turf, gravel, clay, sand, dirt,
ice, steel matting, shale, and snow.
For example, if the minimum runway criteria selected is 2200 feet in length
and HRD surface, then only airport having a hard surface runway at least
2200 feet in length will be displayed in the nearest airport list.
3.9.1.2 Continuous Display of Nearest Airport
When the nearest airport page is initially displayed, “1” is displayed imme-
diately to the right of the airport identifier to designate this airport as the
nearest airport. However, if you continue to fly along your flight plan with
this page selected, the same airport will be displayed and its position in
the nearest airport list will change from 1 to 2, 3, 4 ... 20 until finally it won’t
be in the nearest airport list at all. The reason for this is that in the event
of an actual emergency once you have determined which airport you are
heading for, you don’t want the nearest airport list to update while you are
maneuvering or looking up data on the other airport pages for that airport.
There may be times, however, when you’re flying over “unfriendly” terrain
when you wish to always have the nearest airport displayed on the
screen.
To display the nearest airport continuously:
1. Display the nearest airport page by pressing
G followed by pressing
F.
2. Turn on the cursor (
B).
