That way, SkyDemon will recognise it as an aerodrome for the purposes of logging your takeoff and landing. If it's close to a well-defined aerodrome but only defined itself as a user waypoint (I assume this is how you have it working at the moment) then SkyDemon may pick the aerodrome instead. ‌‌

Can I change it to an airfield on an IMac or IPad ?

Thanks Tim, I'll have a look at that the next time I'm at a PC. ‌‌It's not a big issue for me, more one of curiosity.

C Group: Awaiting Activation Posts: 7, Visits: 2	Hi Tim - I used to have my local landing site (Heli) as a waypoint and in the log (i.e. flight log which records the times, not pilot's log PLOG) and it would record the flight as that. ‌‌Then about a month ago it has started to record Enstone, which is an airfield 5 miles away (and has done so retrospectively). I've fixed it with the custom data, but as I say above, not ideal.
