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.

Quickie cheating way is to log into DUATS and ask for a defined radius
briefing around your origin, asking for TAF's. You'll get a list of all
the airports with TAF's. Of course, drawing a circle on a WAC chart is not
only more traditional, but probably a lot more fun.

That may be a clever way to do it. Yes, and if I had a WAC on hand I
would do it that way.

My commercial X/C was White Plains to Key West in a 172 (no A/P).

I guess you got the 200 miles easy enough! :-) I think you are located
about 200 miles from ELM, any airports you'd recommend that have a
decent restaurant? The plan is to fly out late in the day, spend some
time chowing down while the sun sets and then fly back for the night 200
miles.
