Does anyone know of a good way to locate airports that are 200 miles
or more from a given airport? I realize a large planning chart with
a circle drawn would be easy, but I don't have one of those handy. I
need to plan a 200 mile cross country for my commercial day/night
long cross country and want to look for airports at least 200, but
less than say 300 miles from KELM. I figure someone somewhere knows
of software which will do this, but I'm not away of any.



You can't spend $8 on a WAC chart? G Your school or FBO doesn't
have one on the wall that you can use for free?


Yes, and yes. However, I was going to do the flight planning tomorrow
and I can't get a WAC that quickly (the "local" FBO doesn't stock
them) and the FBO is 35 miles away and I'd rather not drive 70 miles
with gas prices at $3/gallon if I don't have to.

Maybe you can get an expired WC for free and use airnav.com to plan
the flight.


Planning the flight is easy, I use DUATS for that. It is picking the
destination that I was trying to automate a little.
