Since the new update with "Find a Destination", which is a great feature, some airfield-data about fuel availability is not correct anymore. Take for example my German homebase EDKM. Its listed as "MoGas available" for €1,65 per Litre, which someone reported, but this should be a mistake. We don't sell MoGas, only AvGas 91UL and 100LL. However, this information is not only listed in "Recent Fuel Priced Paid", but also under "Admin Information". If people trust the Admin Information, they will assume that EDKM has also MoGas, but that isn't true.

Some other pilots in my area reported same mistakes at some other airfields. This is something that needs a closer look and fix. Please let me know if further details are required.

This isn't something which has changed in the latest update. Admin Information has always not only reported what fuels are available, but their prices where somebody has reported purchasing fuel there. We are always open to suggestions.

Thanks for the clarification! I never noticed the wrong fuel type and price at my homebase before, because the "Find a Destination" Tool makes it far more easier to acknowledge the fuel availability and reported prices on each airfield. I always thought that the "Admin Information" was based upon the AIP data from DFS or directly from airfield operators. Nevertheless, it would be great if there is also an report option for wrong reported data. In addition, I think adding a reported fuel type should not be done automatically, but after a quick admin-review.

How would you suggest we review such submissions? We do not know about the presence of fuel, or lack thereof. It is very frequent for more fuel types to be available at an airfield than the official data suggests. Furthermore, a Report button would require just as much verification. The only thing I can think of which would work is when the airfield owner themselves contacts us to confirm that a fuel price submission is not correct.

I should add that as more airfields become adopted by their owners and operators, the chances of an incorrect submission decrease. Perhaps the airfield in question could be adopted by its owner/operator so they can set definitive data?
