Hi forum,

I have a question/subject concerning the "VFR" and "non-VFR"-AIPs in SkyDemon.

e.g. for Czech Republic there is one AIP "Czech Republic" and one named "Czech Republic (VFR)"‌‌‌‌. This difference is also given in the german AIP. It seems, that SkyDemon comes with the IFR-AIP and I can´t find a dedicated "German VFR-AIP" But in "real life" is a VFR-AIP. The difference between VFR and IFR-AIP is the publishing date and an 14 days-offset when changes will be effective. The date of published data has an offset of 14 days between VFR and IFR.

For SD I have purchased the German AIP-Plates‌‌ and I´v found some aerodrome-information concerning smaller airfields which is only found in the German VFR-AIP. So far so good, but the rest of the german AIP (General, Enroute...) seems to be the IFR-Part.

My question is: doesn´t DFS offer the VFR-Part ‌‌to SD or is the German VFR-part simply not offered in SD?

Thanks for your time and answer,
Renzo‌‌‌

Yes, maybe they did not ask for that - which is surprisingly to me. Having all the related stuff for VFR-flying in a country digitally with me and not anymore in a huge, heavy book is one is one main reason (beneath the navigation purpose of a great software-solution like Sky Demon of course!)
And concerning Germany: the last 25 years I used the printed "Jeppesen Bottlang" with the VFR textual portions and of course the APP-charts for GER/AUT/SUI. One of my hopes buying Sky Demon was to get finally rid of the paperwork and having a *complete* VFR-AIP again - in a lightweight iPad using Sky Demon.

Do you think that will be possible? I still wonder about, that never somebody asked for that...?

Kind regards,
Renzo‌
