controllers in another state, especially "local" approach control, are not
expected to know every Podunk airport more than 200 miles away..


I would expect at least 200 miles from an approach controller, maybe a
little less from big city approach controllers. I have heard of and know
roughly where every airport is within about 5-600 miles from here.
