Can I make a feature request - likely popular with newly-qualified pilots like me.

As a user, I would like the ability to specify how long I’ve got the aircraft for (think “club renter” and for SD to show which airfields are within reach.

To begin, the MVP for this could be very simple: ask user how long they’ve got and then just draw a circle around home airfield with a radius showing the distance my aircraft can travel in half that time.

Longer term, could introduce wind into the mix to show the effect on range, or add the ability to include an on the ground stop and the time that takes.

My use case is that as a club renter I tend to have a 2 hour slot available to me and I’d like to see easily on the map where I might be able to reach, vs how far could I travel if I had 3 hours etc. At the moment you have to plan the flight and then check the estimated flight time and rework it if it’s too long.
