Procedures section for details. METARs or TAFs applicable to the selected airport can be selected for display (see\
 
the Hazard Avoidance section for details about weather).
The G1000 provides a NRST	Softkey	 on	the	 PFD,	 which	 gives	the	pilot	 quick	 access	 to	nearest airport 
information	 (very	useful	 if	an	 immediate	 landing	is	required).	 	 The	Nearest	 Airports	 Window	 displays	a	list	
of up to 25 nearest airports (three entries can be displayed at one time).  If there are more than three they are 
displayed in a scrollable list.  If there are no nearest airports available, “NONE WITHIN 200NM” is displayed.

The Nearest Airports Page on the MFD is first in the group of NRST pages because of its potential use in 
the event of an in-flight emergency.  In addition to displaying a map of the currently selected airport and 
surrounding area, the page displays nearest	 airport	information	 in	five	 boxes	 labeled	 ‘NEAREST	 AIRPORTS’,	
‘INFORMATION’,		‘RUNWAYS’,	‘FREQUENCIES’,	and	‘APPROACHES’.		
The selected airport is indicated by a white arrow, and a dashed white line is drawn on the navigation map 
from	the	aircraft	 position	 to	the	 nearest	 airport.		 Up	to	four	 nearest	 airports,	 one	runway,	 up	to	six	 frequencies,	
and up to six  approaches are visible at one time. If there are more than can be shown, each list can be scrolled.  
If there are no items for display in a boxed area, text indicating that fact is displayed.  The currently selected 
airport remains in the list until it is unselected.

The Nearest Airports Box on the System Setup Page defines the minimum runway length and surface type 
used when determining the 25 nearest airports to display on the MFD Nearest Airports Page.  A minimum 
runway length and/or surface type can be entered to prevent airports with small runways or runways that are 
not appropriately surfaced from being displayed.  Default settings are 0 feet (or meters) for runway length and 
“HARD/SOFT” for runway surface type.

VORS
The VOR Information Page can be used to view information about VOR and I\
LS signals (since ILS signals 
can	be	received	 on	a	NAV	 receiver),	 or	to	quickly	 auto-tune	 a	VOR	 or	ILS	 frequency.		 Localizer	information	
cannot be viewed on the VOR Information Page. If a VOR station is combin\
ed with a TACAN station it is 
listed as a VORTAC on the VOR Information Page and if it includes only DME, it is displa\
yed as VOR-DME.
In addition to displaying a map of the currently selected VOR and surrounding area, the VOR Information 
Page	displays	 VOR	information	 in	four	 boxes	 labeled	 ‘VOR’,	‘INFORMATION’,	 ‘FREQUENCY’,	and	‘NEAREST
