4.7.3. “NEAREST” AND “COMPLETE” WAYPOINT SCAN LISTS
There are actually two waypoint scan lists for airports, VORs, and
NDBs. These two lists are the “complete” list and the “nearest” list.
The complete list contains all of the waypoints in the data base for a
waypoint type (all the airports, for example). The nearest list consists
of the nine nearest waypoints (of that type) to your present position.
Therefore, if you are in the nearest airport list, it will contain the nine
nearest airports relative to your location. There is no “nearest” list for
supplemental waypoints (SUP).
The nearest list is positioned in front of the complete list. That is, you
must scan backwards (turn the knob counterclockwise) through the
complete list to reach the nearest list. You will know when you have
reached the nearest list because the
top middle portion of the waypoint
page will flash the relative position of
the waypoint to your position. “1”
indicates nearest (figure 4-73) while
“9” indicates the ninth nearest (figure
4-74). As you scan clockwise with
the right inner knob “1, 2, 3, ..., 9”, the
next scan position is the beginning of
the complete list. The nearest list can
only be reached by scanning back-
wards. It does not wrap around after
the last waypoint in the complete list.
Waypoint pages displayed in the nearest list do not contain a latitude
and longitude position as they do in the complete list. Instead, the
bearing and distance to the waypoint (or the radial and distance from
the waypoint) are displayed.
Once the nearest waypoint is being displayed, the other waypoint
pages (for example, APT 2 and APT 3) for that airport are available
for display by making sure the right inner knob is pushed in and then
turning it to select the desired airport page.
