That would be a bug : can you explain a bit more, what you saw happening?

If you relocate / reposition inside the sim, or switch to a tower at an airport somewhere else (by manually entering a tower location), you could cause this, since TerraSync is based off the scenery we try to load, and that's based off where the camera/view is located. But apart from those special situations, we're always trying to load tiles around where your aircraft is (and depending on the view distance of course), and those are the ones TerraSync will schedule to download and update.

Can you be more specific about what you mean with airport. Groundnets for instance are not geolocated. The terrain is however.
