Very cool. Not sure what the application is, but very cool : )

Keeping clear of TFR's.

Getting the area allowed during a homebuilt fly off period.

Hmmm. I just looked up the definition of TFR (I'm not a pilot myself)
and learned that maybe I should add a couple lines of code to recognize
nautical miles as units, since that's what the FAA uses. What's the
usual abbreviation for those? NM?


By the way, the original request for this feature was from a glider
pilot who wanted a way to visualize the "silver," "gold," and "diamond"
distances of sailplane flights. So there's one application, anyway.

Done, by the way. I looked up Nautical Miles on Wikipedia, so you can
now enter a radius as "NM", "n.m.", "nautical miles," or even "knots,"
and it should be recognized. (I know a knot isn't a measure of
distance, but what the hell, why not? No pun intended.)

because it is a measure of speed and not distance?

Why not 'Hot Dogs' then? ;-)
