US GRID TYPE CONVENTIONS
The correct aeronautical sectional must be entered in the SAR
Map setup page before using US grid types.
US Grids are 15’ by 15’ and assigned a spe-
cific number. They’re subdivided into 7.5’
quadrants. See the back page of this guide
for a map of US grids in Minnesota.
Corners of the quadrants are identified as 1
through 4 beginning in the NW corner then
moving clockwise around the quadrant. (i.e.
1=NW corner, 2=NE corner, 3=SE corner and
4=SW corner)
CREATE A USER WAYPOINT BY US GRID
A user waypoint set to a US Grid coordinate allows including it in a
flight plan or flying directly to the corner of a grid or quadrant.
