NAVIGATING TO A NEAREST WAYPOINT

The NRST pages can be used in conjunction with the Direct-to function to quickly set a course to a nearby facility. This feature can be a real time saver compared to retrieving information from the database using the WPT pages. More importantly, it instantly provides navigation to the nearest airport in case of an in-flight emergency.

To select a nearby airport, VOR, NDB, intersection or user waypoint as a Direct-to destination:

1.Use the flashing cursor to scroll through a NRST page list and highlight the desired nearest waypoint.

2.Press the Direct-to key to display the Direct-to Page.

3.Press the ENT key to accept the selected waypoints identifier and press the ENT key a second time (with ‘Activate?’ highlighted) to begin navigating to the selected waypoint.
