Also just noticed that the disused airfield at Fordoun (N565310 W0022422) is missing - a shame as I use it as a turning point to avoid the Aberdeen CTR. Oh well, will just have to keep using my custom waypoint for now

Downloaded the April data today and Fearn still showing as an active airfield.
I like the new disused airfields feature and the new instrument view in SD Mobile looks great - looking forward to trying it in the air next week - if the wind up here EVER drops!!

Thanks, this change will become effective in the April update along with all our new plates and airfield data. Fearn will appear as a disused airfield.

SkyDemon displays Fearn airfield to the north-east of Inverness (INS 014T 13nm). This airstrip was a part of an old WW2 airfield runway but has not existed for many years. A new grass strip (Easter) has been built nearby, on the edge of the old WW2 airfield, to replace it. Easter is correctly displayed by SkyDemon.
I appreciate that SkyDemon receives its mapping data from a 3rd party but is it possible to pass this information on so that they can remove Fearn from their database? The latest CAA half-mil chart for Scotland correctly shows Fearn as a "DISUSED or ABANDONED aerodrome" and Easter as an "AERODROME - Civil, limited or no facilities".
With the close proximity of the old Fearn WW2 airfield to the new Easter airfield this is another reason to have SkyDemon display disused airfields - as well as display good visual reference points they could avoid pilots from getting confused.
Thanks for you excellent software - it just keeps getting better and better
