The last item on the alarms submenu is airspace alarms. The
airspace alarms will inform you of any special use or controlled
airspace near your position or in your flight path, according to the
following conditions:
• ’Airspace Ahead Less Than 10 minutes’— occurs if your
projected course will take you inside an airspace within the next
10 minutes.
• ’Airspace Near and Ahead’— is displayed when you are with-
in two nautical miles of an airspace and your current course will
take you inside the airspace.
• ’Inside Airspace’— is presented when you have entered the
boundaries of the airspace.
• ’Near Airspace Less Than 2 nm’— appears when you are
within two nautical miles of an airspace, but your current course
will not take you inside the airspace.
WARNING: If you fly above or below an airspace, then descend or climb to
enter the airspace, the ‘Inside Airspace’ message may be the only alert provid-
ed! The ‘Airspace Ahead’ and/or ‘Airspace Near’ messages will not occur if you
are outside the vertical limits defined by the airspace, plus the altitude buffer.
