Ok, so let's say that you declared an emergency because there was something had gone wrong on board, and you weren't going to making it to you your destination airport. Could you place would
there be a list of alternative airports in the GPS?

Look at your map when you declare the emergency and pick the closest suitable landing site. Just like in real life.

the nearest page in the GPS. you can cysle throun closest Airports, NDB, VOR, And intersections.
When you highlight a airport. press the enter button (on the GPS not your keyboard) to bring up the airport info. including name location fuel runway
dimentions surface type, approaches. ECT. Whiel in this page. pres the direct to button. and hit enter twice. this will make the diurect line from you
present position to the selected airport
It takes a total of 60 seconeds if you know your way around the GPS, and find a sutibal airport right up front.

After you chose your Alt airport, will the ATC then say request IFR to .....?
Re: Placing alt airport in GPS - timtomairways - 11-06-2011
defautl ATC does not support emergincys. you can request a destination change (if your already IFR) or request to open a IFR flight plan to your
selected Alternet (this will bring up the default flight planner so you have to find the airport there to) this is kinda like a popup IFR clerance, even
thoue the controller reads back As field.

When I have selected the Alternative airport, will your aircraft go back to the departure airport?
Re: Placing alt airport in GPS - gbapache - 11-06-2011
When the dialogue box appears and asks if you wish to start at the departure airport simply choose "no". Your flight while continue with a
new GPS route.
