A list of the nine nearest airports within 200 miles of your present position is always just a keystroke

away! For in-flight emergencies or if you just want to stop for a break, you can select an airport from the
list and designate it as your destination. If you want to listen in on the local communication frequencies,
check the runway layout or need fuel, you can review the Jeppesen data for a nearby airport.
