I just looked for that feature, Andrew, and couldn't find it. Could you
give us a little more detail on where it is?

Airnav has a feature where you can search airports between two
user-specified radii. However, the maximum radius appears to be 200NM.
So, you can search airports between 100NM and 200NM.


Check out the link to aeroplanner than Steven posted. Looks to be much
better than Airnav in this regard at least.

Find a database of airports, including lat/lon coordinates. Load them into
Excel.

Find a formula to calculate distance between 2 points.

Put a column into the spreadsheet with the calculated distance from your
airport.

Sort by distance.

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.

Google maps... looks like Minneapolis, Omaha are too far.
There is a distance calculator

Sounds like I'm too late, but...

AOPA has a Radius Search for airports within xxx miles of another aiport.

I realize that's the inverse of what you are looking for, but when it is done
searching, it lists the results in distance order. So you could search for
airports within 250 or 300 nm of your starting point, and then scroll
immediately down to 200nm as a starting point...

Sorry for the delay getting this posted, but it's exactly what the
original poster asked for

http://aviationtoolbox.org/old/cross-country.cgi

I'm surprised nobody remembered this. Kyler's been wonderful about sharing
his efforts, at no charge, with the rec.aviation.* crew. Too bad everyone
seems to have forgotten him.
