How do you land in the "nearest suitable runway:?

Just out of curiosity, if you had an emergency and warning "land asap", what exactly do you do?

I know you have to "land as soon as possible", but firstly, what is considered a "suitable" runway.
Also, do you just click on the airports push button and see the nearest airports close to you, pick one and land?
If it were to happen, you obviously don't have time to look for the approach plate, get the ATIS, yada yada. What now?

Can you used auto pilot or do you just get vectored and raw data ILS approach to land?

Thanks!
