I will be updating my local turnpoint list soon, I was wondering if someone has already worked out a system of turnpoint naming for landable places that might be short, narrow or somehow useful for some gliders but not 18m+ etc. 
		
	
		
		
		
		
		
	
		 
		
	
	
	It would be nice to include fields or ultralight runways etc that you could use if you were desperate - better than landing in forest but still challenging for one or more reasons. I thought of naming the landing points something like: Iffy Risk01 Unconfirmed01 Short02 Narrow01 Dodgy Desperate01 Marginal Dubious Doubt Dicey Tricky Alert Warn Seems like if you could use a short word that communicated a warning and a number to make it unique in case you had several in the list and or some rating. Short is good because some displays truncate names to 6 characters on screen.  |
