Hi,
I'm currently planing a longer trip and was looking for airfields on my planed route that are suitable for a short break in between. I found that many airfields along my planned route are not open or PPR is required on the planned trip date. Maybe this is a just specific problem just in Germany where you are not allowed to land on airfields outside the opening hours.
Anyways I thought it would be great to have the possibility to highlight all open airfields in the map for a specific date / time.
Recently the "Find a Destination" tool was added to Skydemon.  Also you added the opening hours in the Admin Information tab. 
So the information and tool for this feature should be already available.
Also it would be nice to have the possibility to highlight open fields in the vicinity while flying. For example when using the direct to feature, you could add a checkbox to only show those airfields that are currently open.

Regards,
Andreas

I can definitely see the benefit of the proposed feature. We currently only maintain opening hours data for Germany, because a) the data is provided to us digitally and b) there's this German rule which makes it more important than normal that opening hours are known by the pilot. If we were to write such a feature I'd want it to work beyond Germany, and it would also take some additional development to fully preserve the digital timesheet information in our airfield data (it's just text at the moment).

Hi Tim,
All of the above should be the same for Austria, too ?
