Go around the turn points. Seriously. No wondering if you are close enough to get in the sector, no penalty putting your distance a fraction of an inch short of 300km. Just go around the turn points. You don't want to end up like Hitler and get your gold badge denied.



Can I use any airport that's in the faa airport data base for a turn

point?

Thanks

Not very long ago photo evidence was accepted as proof of rounding a turn point.
Not much longer ago than that photo evidence was practically the ONLY proof
of rounding a turn point. Airports were readily recognizable to the OO given
airport diagrams, but commonly other landmarks were used too, like bridges,
TV towers, dams, etc. The airports are nice just in the fact that you know
there's a good place to land there (usually!).
