... read the map?

To answer the question in a less useless fashion, you can press F-10 to view a map. Additionally, the divert page on the CDU lists the nearest airports by order of proximity.

There's a list of frequencies for tower, tacan, ILS as well as runway data can be found in the manual. Page 659.

That way you'll know exactly what's where, who, how and when.

...and if in doubt: check the TAD, it has a map. :P

It gives you communication frequency as well doesnt it?

Might he also be able to use the CDU repeater and then click function > 2 on the UFC then choose the divert option on the right MFCD and aren't the listed airports listed based on distance from your plane with the top one being the closest?

 

Edit: Whoops, I didn't notice Frostiken's post. My mistake.

Yes, it does. It will give tower freq. as well as the ILS and TACAN freq. if the airport has the devices. As well as put the chosen strip on the HUD as a steerpoint and thereby give you a distance on the HUD and HSI and direction which is useful in low visibility.

 

It also lists the runway headings. It pretty much tells you all the same things that the F10 map does but from within the plane.

 

Personally, I think this tool/ability isn't mentioned enough. It is very helpful and isn't "cheating" like some might think the F10 view is.
