8.8 NEAREST FLIGHT SERVICE STATION
(FSS) PAGE
The Nearest Flight Service Station Page (Figure 8-25)
displays the facility name, bearing to, and distance to the
five nearest FSS points of communication (within 200 nm
of the present position). For each FSS listed, the Nearest
Flight Service Station Page also indicates the frequency(ies)
and may be used to quickly tune the COM transceiver to
the FSS’s frequency. The selected frequency is placed in
the standby field of the
COM Window and activated using
the
COM Flip-flop
Key.
For
duplex operations, ‘RX’ and ‘TX’ indications
appears beside the listed frequencies, indicating ‘receive
only’ or ‘transmit only’ frequencies. The associated VOR
is also provided for reference.
