Hello,
I can see the instruments plates for the different countries I have active (BE, NL, D, UK, LUX) but not in France.
Am I missing something or are these not (yet ?) available ? If the latter, any view when these will be available ?

Thanks in advance.
J

Stupid question: if the PDFs are readily available from the SIA web site, why can't Skydemon get them from there?

Tim gets his AIP data as distributed via the single 'approved' channel. The answer is for France to fix their feed of data into that.

I can fully understand Tim not wanting to develop one-off non-standard methods that will be fraught with complexity and unanticipated challenges.

Yes, I agree. It would be possible to write a script that downloads the PDFs for each plate from the SIA web site, but it would be ugly, fragile and of course they wouldn't be georeferenced. So it was a stupid question indeed.
