Hi

Now the new rules on Enroute IR is finally published by EASA, EIR pilots will soon need to specify VFR/IFR and IFR/VFR transition points in their flightplans. I hope Skydemon will be able to handle this in the near future.




It should be able to appoint transition points by point-and-click the same way you designate other waypoints. The app should check MSA at the transition point (1000 ft to highest terrain/obstacle within 5 NM) and also check if the cloud ceiling - based on nearest reported weather - is higher than the point MSA.

If we're going down the IFR route then adding an IFR/VFR flag to each route leg would allow you to specify the transition points and the flight plan can then auto insert V, Y, Z and IFR VFR transitions automatically.

That does look like a very elegant solution!

Could we have some feedback from the SD team? I start learning theory for the EIR next month and it would be nice to know if I have to look for another software for EIR flight planning and navigation. Since EIR does not include IFR approaches, SID og STAR, I guess it would take only a small effort to make this briliant VFR product very useable for EIR.
