It is very easy to miss a site for example from the AIP, CHALEBAY, ISLE OF WIGHT Upper limit: 2000 ft Site elevation: 130 ft amsl. A circle, 2 nm radius centred at 503632N 0012024W. on the CAA 1/2 mill chart is clearly shows a circle 2nm radius, where as Skydemon just shows the parachute and with a Magenta line it's not always easy to spot. I have checked my settings and i have all the options set to on, it would be great if we could have a 2NM radius for these and glider sites as an option. Also another suggestion, would it be possible to have the months of activity for Bird Sanctuaries, for example Severn on the Severn Estuary has activity from Sep - April as shown on the 1/2 Mill chart and Sky demon says nothing, so you could be avoiding this unnecessarily in the summer months. And while we're asking could the London Helicopter Routes show altitude limits on each of the sections? Thanks Steve Patetrson

People tend to think that by planning just outside the outline they are safe, whereas the activity often spills outsite in reality. The NATS chart outlines suffer from this too and are an arbitrary distance away from the centrepoint, as decided by their cartographer. If you wouldn't mind creating new threads for other suggestions, that would be great. Thanks!
