Hi,

Unlike some other countries, airfields in Germany cannot legally be used when they are not officially "open", i. e. at least the advisory frequency ("INFO") is operated (with few exceptions). Many smaller airfields have limited operating hours, e. g. "MON-FRI PPR; SAT SUN HOL 0900-SS/1800, OT PPR" or something like that. Although they are part of the German AIP VFR (Part AD 2), and I am subscribed to that service in SkyDemon these parameters are not shown under "Plates" for each individual airfield.

The document is available as "List of Aerodromes" in the Document Browser, but the most basic information from that should be shown under "Admin Information" for each airfield on a planned route individually.

Even if DFS does not offer this data directly, the PDF documents of the AIP VFR are parseable and follow a pretty rigid format scheme, so it shouldn't be too hard to extract the information automatically.

Kind regards,
Bernd
