MUTLI FUNCTION DISPLAY
Airspace Alerts Box
The Airspace Alerts Box displays the Airspace Name, Status, and Time to Entry. The status and time to entry (if applicable) is based on the following conditions:
•If the projected course will take the aircraft inside an airspace within the next ten minutes, the status field shows the airspace as ‘Ahead’.
•If the aircraft is within two nautical miles of an airspace and the current course will take the aircraft inside, the status field shows the airspace as ‘Ahead < 2 nm’.
•If the aircraft is within two nautical miles of an airspace and the current course will not take the aircraft inside, the status field shows ‘Within
2 nm’.
•If the aircraft has entered an airspace, the status field shows ‘Inside’.
NOTE The airspace alerts are based on threedimensional data (latitude, longitude and altitude) to avoid nuisance alerts. The alert boundaries for controlled airspace are also sectored to provide complete information on any nearby airspace. Once the described conditions exists, the status and time of entry is shown if the airspace alert messages are enabled on the System Setup Page (Auxiliary Page Group).
By selecting any airspace name listed on the Nearest Airspaces Page, additional details are provided — including controlling agency, communication frequencies and floor/ceiling limits.
To view additional details for an airspace listed on the Nearest Airspaces Page:
1.Select the Nearest Airspace Page.
2.Press the FMS knob to activate the cursor.
3.Turn the large FMS knob to scroll through the list, highlighting the desired airspace.
4.Press the ALERTS softkey and turn the FMS knob to select the desired airspace.
5.The remaining information on the NearestAirspaces Page pertains to the selected airspace name.
6.Press the FMS knob to remove the flashing cursor.
To view and quickly load the frequency for a controlling agency:
1.Select the Nearest Airspaces Page.
2.Press the FREQ softkey and turn the FMS knob to select the desired frequency. Press the ENT key to load the frequency into the ‘COM’ frequency standby field
