Default How to get winpilot data base changed?

The problem is not in WinPilot it is in the FAA records of airports.
If no one reports an airport closed it simply stays in the FAA data
base for years. I flew at Hobbs, NM for twelve years and chartsw
showed "Two Legs" private airport south of Denver City, TX but I could
never see it from the air. Finaly I took an old local pilot with me
and we drover to where it was susposed to be and there were no runways
only some open fields, a house and a barn. I notified the FAA airport
facilities section and on the next map printing they had removed it and
from their computer data base also. WinPilot simply used the current
FAA data base!

BE nice and let the FAA know there is a problem and they will fix it.

I have contacted the NOCA/FAA answering machine about nonexistant CMRS.
They have not responded. It could be a landable field, but I'll let you
make that decision. It is not a 4000' asphalt runway as shown in the
database.
I still do not know why Saguache Municipal is not shown as it has
always been on the sectional and in all other aviation databases I have
seen.
