The fields below can be used to sort or filter the list:

Once you've created the place you can view on the map by selecting the Open Map button in the row of option at the bottom of the screen. If this place is a dirt strip or an airport without any information, you can select the Create Airport, based on the lat and long so it can be add to the itinerary of any trip.
