Appendix D. The right side of line 4
will read HELIPORT if applicable,
MILITARY if it is a military airport
(Figure 3-147), and PRIVATE if it is
a private use airport.
If the airport is being viewed as part
of the nearest airports list (see sec-
tion 3.9.1, “Viewing the Nearest
Waypoints”), the APT 1 page format
will differ as follows (see figure 3-
148):
Line 1: After the airport identifier,
the number designating the airport’s position in the nearest airport list is
displayed. In figure 3-148, KLIT is the third nearest airport.
Line 2: Same as a normal APT 1 page.
Line 3: The length, surface and lighting of the longest runway.
Line 4: The magnetic bearing to or the magnetic radial from the airport
and the distance. Placing the cursor over the radial/bearing field and turn-
ing the right inner knob changes it between radial from and bearing to the
airport.
3.12.1.2. The Airport 2 (APT 2) Page
See figure 3-149.
Line 1: The ICAO identifier (see
section 2.3) of the airport; an arrow
precedes the identifier if it is the
active waypoint.
Lines 2-3: The latitude and longitude of the airport reference point (the
“official” location of the airport).
Line 4: The magnetic bearing to or the magnetic radial from the airport
and the distance. Placing the cursor over the radial/bearing field and turn-
ing the right inner knob changes it between radial from and bearing to the
airport.
If the airport is being viewed as part
of the nearest airports list (see sec-
tion 3.9.1, the APT 2 page format
will differ as follows (see figure 3-
150):
Line 1: After the airport identifier, the number designating the airport’s
position in the nearest airport list is displayed.
