Thanks Tim, I see the point. Unfortunately for anyone flying through CZ, these information will ever come only through AUP, and never through NOTAMs.
Everyone shall always check all data from the original sources, that is what I've wrote as well. The same goes for NOTAMs, even though SD shows them live. So why would not it show AUP ? For any VFR flying withing CZ (the country is very small and full of reserved/restricted areas), having the AUP data is even more important than NOTAMs (look at the list of CZ NOTAMs and the CZ AUP list, which one is much larger).
SD does not show AUP at the moment, so I have to have two windows / apps open, at the same time, on PC, to actually plan a route - quite not good user's experience given the goals the SD has in this area. And now imagine doing so on mobile / tablet, or even off-line during flight !
CZ AUP is provided with 24hr advance, and generally stays unchanged on the day it is issued for. Now when going out to fly, obviously I do not have any Internet connection during that, so how would I check the activity of any AUP described areas ? while SD happily shows me the NOTAMs during the flight (downloaded on before), it does not show any AUP data. And this is what I'm asking to have. Sure, I can (and always will) call FIR or ATC, to ask, but not every time it is possible at the moment, or convenient (for example, on diversion). I do understand the issue of maintaining the data sources from various countries - but I'm willing to pay extra to have SD do so, if it comes to that. Yes.
