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.

I suppose it wouldn't hurt to write to them yourself expressing the same desire.

Hi Tim, I understand the French have amalgamated their instrument plates into the "textual information" document in the Eurocontrol EAD system. In 2016 I saw a post of you, believing 'the French stated that they plan to reverse this change sometime in the coming months.' Have you got any update on this? 

Today, I noticed that the Garmin Pilot App is able to get to the single plates (also with geo referencing), so somehow they achieved to sort of index the French charts. Below an example of LFLL. Would be great if this functionality can be restored, although I understand it's probably beyond your control.




Thx for the hint - for curiosity I checked Garmin Pilot and ForeFlight, just for two of the competitors. Both show the georef'ed plates, so they somehow get separate PDFs. Maybe a good entry for Skydemon to approach SIA again?

That might be an option. But the fact that those competitors are able to do it, makes me wonder if SkyDemon could do it now as well? I have no knowledge how SIA/Eurocontrol distribute the plates or through what kind of API such databases are accessed , but maybe now there's a new possibility to index the French plates? Or could there be another data source that Garmin Pilot and ForeFlight are using enabling them to index the French Charts?

It may just be that Garmin and Foreflight are big enough to devote resource to bursting the pdfs before geo-referencing each month.
