Hello,

I would like to suggest to enhance the filters one can use to "find a destination". For example, when the "Rating, Facilities, Events" option is selected, the only selectable requirement is food!
In particular, it would be very convenient to be able to select only airfields with an AFIS or a Tower. This is particularly true in France, as typically airfields without AFIS or tower require to do the Air-to-air communications in French only, and not everybody is proficient in French... I imagine the same applies to other countries (and languages) as well.

Thank you!

I will be interested to see what others have to say about this suggestion. Generally a feature has to be useful in more than one country before we would implement it.

This was my particular and immediate need, but the idea is to put more selection criteria. I could think of:
- ATS: yes/no [yes=AFIS or tower]
- PPR required: yes/no
- NVFR: yes/no
- Customs: yes/no
- Fuel: AVGAS, Jet-A, etc./no [somewhat redundant with respect to the other option based on fuel prices...]
- Repairs: yes/no
- Transports: yes/no

Very often yes means yes with limitations, at certain times etc. but to simplify one can think as no = NIL/never and yes = at least sometimes. Otherwise it becomes unnecessarily complex...

Just to add that the availability of customs is extremely important when flying between countries inside and outside of the Schengen area or the EU common market area, as these flights must begin and and at airports with customs and/or border control, so it would be very convenient to be able to filter out airports without customs/police at all.
