5.16 NEAREST AIRSPACES

The G1000 alerts the pilot to as many as nine controlled or special use airspaces (three at the most at one

time) near or in the ﬂight path. The airspace name, class, controlling agency, vertical limits and associated

frequencies are displayed for the selected airspace.

Softkeys and page menu options can be used to switch between the lists in the ‘Airspace Alerts’ Box and the

‘Frequencies’ Box. Only one list is selectable at a time. The ALERTS Softkey is always displayed; if pressed, the

‘Airspace Alerts’ Box is selected for scrolling.
