Nearest Flight Service Station (FSS) Page

The Nearest Flight Service Station Page displays the facility name, bearing to and distance to the ﬁ ve near-

est FSS points of communication (within 200 nautical miles of your present position). For each FSS listed, the
Nearest Flight Service Station Page also indicates the frequency(s) and may be used to quickly tune the COM
transceiver to the FSS’s frequency. The selected frequency is placed in the standby ﬁ eld of the COM window
and activated using the COM ﬂ ip-ﬂ op key.

For duplex operations, “RX” and “TX” indications appear beside the listed frequencies — indicating “receive

only” or “transmit only” frequencies. The associated VOR is also provided for reference.

1. Select the Nearest Flight Service Station Page, using the steps outlined on page 114.

2. Press the small right knob to activate the cursor.

3. Rotate the small right knob to scroll through the list, selecting the desired FSS.
