Better planning features

Although I love SkyDemon and think it covers almost everything I need for VFR flying, I have a couple of suggestions for the planning stage. And if I’m mistaken in any of my assumptions below, please let me know 🙂

1. Combined search filtering
It would be great to apply multiple filters at the same time in the search function. For example:
    •    Surface = asphalt AND
    •    Runway length > 600 m AND
    •    Fuel = AVGAS or UL91

At the moment, you have to jump between different filter views and try to remember which airfields meet which criteria.

2. Search while planning
I really like the new Trip Overview feature—it makes planning multi-stop trips much easier. However, I often end up leaving the planning view to run separate destination searches. Ideally, I’d like to filter for things like “airfields with AVGAS” directly while planning a route. Right now I need to exit planning mode, run a search, write down the airfields, and then return to planning.

And I should probably not admit this… but I spend waaay more time planning my dream flights than actually flying 😄
