Could be a lot of things....

Have you deleted airports from the database that are used in previously filed pireps and current schedules?

Are the cities you are having trouble with have the correct Latitude and Longitude in the database?

All Airport information is correct in the system, the only airport that is working properly is the one our community designed. Also everything you have said is correct!

if you know some php.. this could help you:

$lat1 = '48.12'; // replace with lat from dep apt (variable)

$lon1 = '16.56'; // replace with lon from dep apt (variable)

$lat2 = '48.06'; // replace with lat from arr apt (variable)

$lon2 = '17.08'; // replace with lon from arr apt (variable)

$distance = (3958*3.1415926*sqrt(($lat2-$lat1)*($lat2-$lat1) + cos($lat2/57.29578)*cos($lat1/57.29578)*($lon2-$lon1)*($lon2-$lon1))/180);

echo round($distance,2);

echo ' nm';

What do you mean by "the airport our community designed"? Is all the flights with odd flight distances to ro from that field?
