I can see how to change the minimum Runway length. But the microlight & glider sites do not have runway lengths. The glider sites have long runways and in emergency are happy to take anyone.

Is there a way of including these sites   .. say by setting min distance to 0? If not can we please have tickboxes to include them in the list of nearest sites.

Cheers

I would agree any flat straight strip is sometimes the best option. whatever length. Also what about disused airfields? Wisley in Surrey is a case in point. It has crash barriers erected across it but is possible to land between these in a emergency in a light A/C even using heavy breaking one would restrict damage. So how about these type being included on the Charts. No one I am sure would blame the publishers after all its the Pilots responsibility to decide whether to use them or not.  In an emergency what might appear to be a nice flat green field may be sodden and cause an A/C to pitch over, its all down to the 'captain'

I am sure that the SkyDemon team are hard pressed with all the suggestions that appear on the forums but they make it clear that the charts and other information is provided with the best of intentions but in the end they are only aids to proper map navigation. Nevertheless more info such as microlight sites (as shown on the French Boissy one mill maps would be appreciated, Italy and Germany fare well on the Skydemon Charts why not the UK?
