following conditions:
• ’Airspace Ahead Less Than 10 minutes’
— occurs if your
projected course will take you inside an airspace within the next
10 minutes.
• ’Airspace Near and Ahead’
— is displayed when you are with-
in two nautical miles of an airspace and your current course will
take you inside the airspace.
• ’Inside Airspace’
— is presented when you have entered the
boundaries of the airspace.
• ’Near Airspace Less Than 2 nm’
— appears when you are
within two nautical miles of an airspace, but your current course
will not take you inside the airspace.
WARNING
: If you fly above or below an airspace, then descend or climb to
enter the airspace, the ‘Inside Airspace’ message may be the only alert provid-
ed! The ‘Airspace Ahead’ and/or ‘Airspace Near’ messages will not occur if you
are outside the vertical limits defined by the airspace, plus the altitude buffer.
