NRST PAGES
Navigating to a Nearby Waypoint
The NRST pages can be used in conjunction with the
GNS 430’s direct-to function to quickly set a course to
a nearby facility. This feature can be a real time saver
compared to retrieving information from the database
using the WPT pages. More importantly, it instantly
provides navigation to the nearest airport in case of an
in-flight emergency.
To select a nearby airport, VOR, NDB,
intersection, or user waypoint as a direct-
to destination:
1) Use the flashing cursor to scroll through a NRST
page list (Figure 8-6) and highlight the desired
nearest waypoint, as outlined in Section 8.1.

2) Press the Direct-to Key to display the select
Direct-to Waypoint Page (Figure 8-7).

3) Press the ENT Key to accept the selected
waypoint’s identifier and press the ENT Key
a second time (Figure 8-8) with ‘Activate?’
highlighted to begin navigating to the selected
waypoint.
