Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. When using the app to find routes for some achievement/challenge style flights on other services like fshub, etc. These routes are often determined by distance instead of time. It would be great if there was an option to search by distance instead of time.

Describe the solution you'd like Add nautical miles filter option in flight search, to search by distance instead of time. (e.g. a slider like time today, but for NM instead)

Describe alternatives you've considered Filtering results by clicking on the result table header column - this does not satisfy the need as described above.

Hi @heclak , could you please elaborate a bit more on your idea. Since the search results today are sorted by weather conditions and not time. So if I understand you correctly, you want to sort flights by distance? By clicking on the "distance" table column title you can toggle filters within the search results, for example sorting by distance. Does that cover your idea, or did you have something else in mind?

Hi @blt950 sorry for not being more clear. I understand we can sort by distance in the search results. But it would be more convenient in the search filter to only show flights that are above eg 250NM as there are a limited number of search results per search. Filtering the search results would reduce the route options. So my ideal situation is to set my search params by distance instead of time. So if an achievement flight requires me to fly from somewhere at least 250NM, I would set the search sliders to be minimum 250NM Max 400Nm so I can find more options in that sweet spot. It could also be a text entry option as a compliment to the existing time slider.

Thank you for the elaboration. I've updated your initial post with the details and put this idea for community vote at https://where2fly.today/feedback
