The	Nearest	 VOR	Page	can	be	used	 to	quickly	 find	a	VOR	 station	 close	to	the	 aircraft.		 Also,	a	NAV	 frequency	
from a selected VOR station can be loaded from the Nearest VOR Page.  In addition to displaying a map of 
the surrounding area, the Nearest VOR Page displays information for up to 25 nearest VOR stations in three 
boxes	 labeled	 ‘NEAREST	 VOR’,	‘INFORMATION’,	 and	‘FREQUENCY’.		 The	list	only	 includes	 waypoints	 that	
are within 200 nm.
A white arrow before the VOR identifier indicates the selected VOR.  Up to sixteen VORs a\
re visible at a 
time.  If there are more than can be shown, each list can be scrolled.  If there are no VORs in the list, text 
indicating that there are no nearest VORs is displayed.  If there are no nearest VORs in the list, the information 
is dashed.

USER WAYPOINTS
The G1000 can create and store up to 1,000 user-defined waypoints.  User waypoints can be created from any 
map	page	 (except	 PFD	Inset	 Map,	 AUX-Trip	 Planning	Page,	or	Procedure	 Pages)	by	selecting	 a	position	 on	the	
map using the Joystick, or from the User Waypoint Information Page by referencing a bearing/distance from 
an existing waypoint, bearings from two existing waypoints, or latitude and longitude.  Once a waypoint h\
as 
been created, it can be renamed, deleted, or moved.  Temporary user waypoints are erased upon system power 
down.

FLIGHT MANAGEMENT
The Nearest Airspaces Page, Airspace Alerts Window, and Airspace Alerts on the PFD provide additional 
information about airspaces and the location of the aircraft in relationship to them.
The Airspace Alerts Box allows the pilot to turn the controlled/special-use airspace message alerts on or off.  
This does not affect the alerts listed on the Nearest Airspaces Page or the airspace boundaries depicted on the 
Navigation Map Page.  It simply turns on/off the warning provided when the aircraft is approaching or near an 
airspace.
An altitude buffer is also provided which “expands” the vertical range above or below an airspace.  For example, 
if the buffer is set at 500 feet, and the aircraft is more than 500 feet above/below an airspace, an alert message is 
not generated, but if the aircraft is less than 500 feet above/below an airspace and projected to enter it, the pilot 
is notified with an alert message.  The default setting for the altitu\
de buffer is 200 feet.
Changing the altitude buffer distance setting:
1) Use the FMS Knob to select the AUX - System Setup Page.
2) Press the FMS Knob momentarily to activate the flashing cursor.
3) Turn the large FMS Knob to highlight the altitude buffer field in the Airspace Alerts Box.
4) Use the FMS Knob to enter an altitude buffer value and press the ENT Key.
5) Press the FMS Knob to remove the flashing cursor.
Turning an airspace alert on or off:
1) Use the FMS Knob to select the AUX - System Setup Page.
2) Press the FMS Knob momentarily to activate the flashing cursor.
3) Turn the large FMS Knob to highlight the desired field in the Airspace Alerts Box.
4) Turn the small FMS Knob clockwise to turn the airspace alert ON or counterclockwise to tur\
n the alert OFF.
5) Press the FMS Knob to remove the flashing cursor.
