That's still an out-of-the-main-loop problem, though, so it doesn't matter to the to top-level code whether it's sitting on top of some moderately complex indexing code or some moderately complex linear-search code. We will need to be able to do fast searches on ATC frequencies, as we do currently with navaids, so we'll need some kind of indexing for that. There may be a reason for constant airport searches in the loop as well; I just haven't thought of it yet.
