3.9. “NEAREST” FUNCTIONS
At any time, you can have access to the nearest airports, waypoints,
Special Use Airspace (SUA), Flight Service Station (FSS) frequencies,
and Center frequencies to your position. Your ticket to do this is the
handy G button.
When you first press the G button,
a page is displayed asking which
nearest function you would like to
select (figure 3-83). The choices
are:
APT Airports
VOR VORs
NDB NDBs
INT Intersections
USR 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 G then press F imme-
diately to access the nearest airports.
Selecting any of the waypoint types
(APT, VOR, NDB, INT, or USR)
takes you immediately to the way-
point page for the first nearest
waypoint of that type, for example,
the nearest airport (figure 3-84). The
right inner knob may be pulled to the
“out” position and the inner knob used to scan through the other nearest
waypoints in the list.
