Default Nav Page
Default Nav Page
During most flights, the default NAV, map and 
NAVCOM pages will be the primary pages used for 
navigation. The default NAV page displays a graphic 
course deviation indicator (CDI), the active leg of 
your flight plan (as defined by the current “from” and 
“to” waypoints), and six user-selectable data fields. 
The default settings for these fields are distance to 
waypoint (DIS), desired track (DTK), bearing to 
waypoint (BRG), ground speed (GS), ground track 
(TRK) and estimated time en route (ETE). See Sec-
tion 11 for definitions of these navigation terms. The 
default NAV page is selected by pressing and holding

tion) for the departure airport, any en route airports 
that are included in your flight plan, and the final 
destination airport. When using the direct-to function, 
frequencies will be listed for the airport nearest to your 
starting position and the destination airport. 
A frequency listed on the NAVCOM page can be 
quickly transferred to the standby field of the COM 
or VLOC windows. This time-saving process prevents

Nearest Airspace
Nearest Airspace Page
The last page in the NRST group, the nearest 
airspace page, provides information for up to nine 
controlled or special-use airspaces near or in your 
flight path. Airspace information appears on this page 
based upon the same criteria used for airspace alert 
messages. Nearby airspace information and airspace 
alert messages are provided according to the following 
conditions: 
•  If your projected course will take you inside an 
airspace within the next ten minutes, the mes-
sage “Airspace ahead -- less than 10 minutes” will 
appear. 
•  If you are within two nautical miles of an airspace 
and your current course will take you inside, the 
message “Airspace near and ahead” will appear. 
•  If you are within two nautical miles of an airspace 
and your current course will not take you inside, 
the message “Near airspace less than 2NM” will 
appear. 
•  If you have entered an airspace, the message 
“Inside Airspace” will appear. 
By default, airspace alert messages are turned off. 
When turned on, the message (MSG) annunciator 
located directly above the MSG key will flash to alert 
you to the airspace message. (See Section 9 Aux Pages 
- Setup 1 for information on enabling airspace alert 
messages.) 
To view an airspace alert message: 
1.    Press the MSG key. The message page appears 
with the alert message. 
When an airspace alert occurs, the message 
(MSG) annunciator will flash. Press MSG to  view the alert message. 
2.  Press MSG again to return to the previous 
display. 
To view nearest airspace information: 
1.   Turn the large right knob to reach the NRST 
function. 
To view additional information about the 
airspace, select the nearest airspace page.  Detailed information is available by high-
lighting the airspace name and pressing ENT.
