Hi SkyDemon team,
from 17.-19.10.2024 there was a relly big dimensioned RA(T) - Temporary Restricted Area activated by NOTAM in Germany round of Berlin (see attached PDF "ED-R Humboldt vom 17.-18.10.pdf" and picture below).
This area was NOT shown permanently on the map in SkyDemon. This resulting in some airspace violations from pilots using SkyDemon as their primary navigation/NOTAM source. Other navigation software had shown this area permanently on the map (if it's needed I can tell you the other products).
As you can see in the attached video, the RA(T) was shown in the NOTAM tab in the section "Warnings". But only when tapping actively on "Show on map" the area was shown in the map, but after some seconds this area disappered again. So the user/pilot was forced to actively select the RA(T) from the NOTAM tab, otherwise the user could not see the area on the map.
Additionally there were no warnings in the flight when the pilot was flying towards or inside this Restricted Area.
Flying through a Restricted Area without permission is a criminal offense and will be severely punished by the German law.
Could you explain why this active RA(T) was not permanently shown in the moving map and why there is no warning when flying towards or inside this area? Is it planned to change this behaviour?
Thank you in advance

Hi Tim, thank you for investigating.
I had now discussion with the pilot who flew today and was informing me via short message.
He told me the same now. He saw this RA(T) with activation time from 12 June 2025 til 28 June 2025. But there was a misunderstanding. FIS told him, that the NOTAM is active, but the RA(T) is not at the moment.
So thank you for clarification and that it works as it should.
