There is a thread running on The Flyer Forums http://forums.flyer.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=98918&start=15 about pilots flying through the overhead of busy active airfields which don't have the protection of an ATZ. I suspect part of the reason is that these airfields are too small on the chart and are missed by pilots both in flight and when planning a route, especially those not familiar with the area.

Would it be possible to highlight these airfield somehow on the chart? Some options:
  • draw a not-quite-ATZ around them as an optional layer in both planning and flight modes
  • have a pop up warning in flight when approaching the airfield in flight
  • have a pop up warning when planning a flight through the overhead
  • include a warning in the flight planning page

Of course, many airfields aren't busy most of the time, so a threshold of a something like 5,000 moments a year should be included to avoid warnings about every single farm strip. I appreciate this requires extra data to be generated and managed within SkyDemon, but once set up I would hope it would be fairly static data.
