Search works from high detail mapping data loaded in AirMap. Avia-

tion Navigation searches use information from a Jeppesen database,

and general navigation searches use POI information available with

a MapCreate custom map. If you do not have a high-detailed Jeppe-

sen map (or a custom map containing POI data) for the area you are

searching loaded on the MMC, you may not find anything.

One of flying's most terrifying events is having to make an emergency

landing. This situation can be deadly at any time. It's particularly dan-

gerous when you're flying over unfamiliar territory, with no idea where

you can safely stop. Of course, the first thing to do is remain calm and

follow all standard emergency procedures. Naturally, no instrument by

itself can get you through an emergency situation, but we have done

our best to provide you with the tools you need as a pilot.

One of these emergency tools in the AirMap is a Find Nearest Airport

feature that automatically locates, selects, and shows navigation data to

the airport nearest the location where the feature was activated. To acti-

vate Find Nearest Airport, press the 

 and 

 keys at the same time.

A Find By Nearest screen appears, showing a list of the closest airports.
Use ↑ or ↓ to select the best airport for your situation (the bottom of the

list displays the length of the longest runway at each airport.) Then you

can press 

 to get detailed information about the airport, or press 

(the 

 key)to begin navigating to the selected location.

Find your way to the selected airport with the Navigation Page or Map

Page. Any time navigation is activated, the Navigation Page shows the

compass rose with its bearing arrow pointing toward the desired destina-

tion position, and the destination name shown in a data box. The Map

Page displays a dotted line from your start point to the desired airport.

You don't need to have an emergency to use the Find Nearest Air-

port feature. You can also use it to maintain positional awareness

by finding the nearest landing strip at any time.
