Wouldn't it be useful to somehow flag the airport as
closed/restricted/whatever in the data, so that nav displays and gps/fms
units could show a different airfield symbol if desired for closed
airports? Does the data format support this?


FG could say (closed) in the end also based on the flag, if that were
possible, so the name field wouldnt need to contain the information.

Hi again

About marking "closed" airports in apt.dat:

- marking the name with "[X] " might be closer to charts I guess and most
airports marked as closed in apt.dat comes with the x
- removing x and marking with "(closed)" at end of name is possible in most
cases without having < 40 chars, but this is some kind of "new convention" ?
- FAA marks closed airports with "Cl"

What do you prefer for the apt.dat names ?

Cheers, Yves

Attached: Log of running "close" option in script. Means: replacing names
with names from ourairports.com, marking with [X] where it is marked
"closed" in ourairports database.
