Esterline CMA-9000 - Nearest

OPERATOR’S MANUAL
CMA-9000 FLIGHT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
NEAREST
The FMS provides information about the current airspace by providing bearing and distance with respect to a
center reference waypoint of the 50 closest waypoints within a distance of 640 nautical miles for either of the
following categories of waypoints:
• AIRPORT
• Non Directional Beacon (NDB)
• VHF NAV
• CUSTOM WPT
• USER WPT
The respective waypoints are displayed in order of distance from the closest to the farthest. By default, the
reference point is selected to be the current position of the aircraft. The first time the NEAREST page is accessed
after a cold start, the center reference waypoint is set to the present position (PPOS). If the reference waypoint is
the present position, distance and bearing information are refreshed every 10 seconds, otherwise for any other
waypoint type, the bearing and distance are computed once (before the respective page is exited and entered
again). For the NEAREST USER WPTS page the bearing and distance of each displayed waypoint are updated
every 10 seconds regardless of the center reference waypoint type.
Display the NEAREST page by pressing [INIT REF] and <NEAREST>.
