information about the selected facility is displayed. Information is arranged into tabs of
organized information. For example, information about airports is divided into APT, FREQ, RWY

knob or moving it up/down will scroll or change the information displayed. For example, some
airports have multiple runways listed under the RWY tab. Once the RWY tab is selected,
