The
Nearest Airport Page can be configured to exclude
shorter runways or undesirable runway surface types,
so that the corresponding airports do not appear on the
list. The pilot may wish to use this feature to exclude
seaplane bases or runway lengths which would be difficult
or impossible to land upon. See Section 9.5, Setup Page
2: Nearest Airport Criteria for additional details.
The
Nearest Airport Page may be used to quickly tune
the COM transceiver to a nearby airport. The selected
frequency is placed in the standby field of the
COM
Window and activated using the
COM Flip-flop
Key.
