Garmin GPSMAP 296 Manual De Usuario

The Nearest Pages list up to five nearest flight service station 

(FSS) and air route traffic control center (ARTCC) points of 

communication. The closest communication point is shown first, 

with additional points available when selected. For duplex operation, 

the corresponding VOR is listed (by identifier) and the transmit and 

receive frequencies are denoted by a TX and RX respectively.

1.  Press 

NEAREST to open the Nearest Pages. 

2.  Use the 

ROCKER to select the ARTCC or FSS sub tab.

3.  Press the 

ROCKER down to highlight Center or Station 

(based which tab you are on), and press 

ENTER.

4.  Select the numbered item that you want from the list, and 

press 

ENTER to show the communication information. The 

lowest numbers on the list are the closest communication 

points.

When an airspace alert appears, press the NEAREST to 

automatically show nearby airspace information in the Airspace tab. 

This information includes name, time to entry (if applicable), and 

status. Normally, only one or two airspace alerts occur at a time, 

but with sectorized controlled airspace, such as many Class B areas, 

there are more. Status information can appear as follows:
Ahead—your projected course takes you inside an airspace within 

the next 10 minutes or less.
Near—you are within two nautical miles of an airspace but not 

projected to enter it.
Near & Ahead—you are within two nautical miles of an airspace 

and your current course takes you inside the airspace.
Inside Airspace—you are within the boundaries of the airspace.
