A 'point' calculated for an aerodrome area would be good enough
until you had to select a runway .. where you would want the end
points of the runway .. not the node of the aerodrome (most of them
look to be place on/near the main building anyway). <br><span class=""></span><br></div></blockquote></div><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">Yes - it isn't about finding the runway! :) But you would really like the heading to align with the flight plan. And the heading will always be calculated to a specific point on the aerodrome. There is no way to automatically calculate this point.<br><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">I'm not standing in the way of the anti-nodists.
