3.8. “NEAREST” FUNCTIONS
At any time, you can have access to the nearest airports, waypoints,
Special Use Airspace (SUA), Flight Service Station (FSS) frequen-
cies, and Center frequencies to your position. All you have to do is
press the
C
button and then the
F
button.
When you first do this, a page is dis-
played asking which nearest function
you would like to select (figure 3-83).
The choices are:
APT
Airports
VOR
VORs
NDB
NDBs
SUP
Supplemental (User-defined) waypoints
SUA
Special Use Airspaces
FSS
Flight Service Station Frequencies
CTR
Center Frequencies
To select the desired nearest function, use the right outer knob to
move the cursor to the desired selection and press
F
. Notice that
the cursor is initially over the APT field, so you may press
C
,
F
,
then press
F
immediately to access the nearest airports.
Selecting any of the waypoint types
(APT, VOR, NDB, or SUP) takes you
immediately to the waypoint page for
the first nearest waypoint of that type,
for example, the nearest airport (fig-
ure 3-84).
3.8.1. VIEWING THE NEAREST WAYPOINTS
There are actually two waypoint scan lists for airports, VORs, NDBs
and user-defined waypoints. 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.
The nearest list is positioned in front of the complete list. That is,
instead of using the
C
and
F
buttons, you may scan backwards
