I would appreciate, if "pin to route" would be added into the right click APT context menu. Append/insert into route are already there, and pin to route would be handy, adding APTs right and left from the enroute path for safety reasons. In case of an emergency, one cannot be sure, having an internet connection, and I prefer to have them downloaded already.

It's a reasonable request, but not enough people pin airfields to their route for us to be able to justify adding a top-level item in What's Here for the action. Therefore it would be a second-level button, if anything:

1. Right-click airfield
2. Click Routing
3. Click Pin to Route

As for adding all airfields within a certain corridor, there are so many minor airfields out there that I promise this would not work very well. You'd end up with dozens, if not hundreds for a long route, and everybody's idea of what is a useful airfield to them is different.
