Tim, what are the chances of adding a search based upon runway heading within a user-selected band, into the 'Find a Destination' tool please? The purpose is to enable the user to narrow down onto airfields to visit that are aligned with/close to the forecast wind direction. Being able to select a destination based on this as well as runway length/type and fuel availability, would be great.

Thanks, yes after some help from Hannah, i did not use that before and I see that it does most of what i seek. As per my original post suggestions and augmented by the email exchange with Hannah, my enhancement wish list for a Destination Search function, is: a) Find/choose destinations based upon the alignment of departure and arrival runways with the current/forecast wind direction on the day b) Find runways based upon a user-defined band of runway headings c) Find runways based upon availability of accommodation within walking distance (1 mile?) would be useful. Roserrow would be a good example of an airfield offering my ideal set of facilities d) And . . . being able to 'Find Destination' airfields based on multiple criteria is yet another enhancement suggestion Edited 5/22/2019 10:30:07 AM by C S

Is there any way that someone in SD Towers could delete the entry for UL91 that someone has mistakenly added for Welshpool? We have never stocked UL91 and there is no current prospect of that changing.
