Hopefully operating SkyDemon in Australia will be revisited.

We have pulled out of the Australian market entirely, I'm afraid. Our Australia chart will be updated and remain available for existing subscribers until January when the last subscription to it runs out. In the meantime it is not possible to license it if you haven't already.

AirServices make it an absolute nightmare to operate in Australia.

Hi everyone,

I live in Sydney but regularly fly in Europe and have been impressed by SkyDemon capabilities this summer.
What is the latest status on Australia development?

Australia is listed in chart coverage as "not for use in air navigation" so I understand there is no additional subscription required but it comes with some limitations. Is it only due to the non-certification by CASA (discussed earlier in this thread) or are there other features not available in Australia?

Thanks,
Fred

Thanks for getting in touch. We will definitely investigate this as we grow in Australia, but we haven't reached that point yet. Our charts are vector based which makes them superior to paper charts in many ways, but it isn't clear whether certification for use as an alternative to paper charts would be forthcoming since the requirement may be for a specific chart to be carried, whether on paper or scanned into a device.

The ERSA will (again) be integrated into SkyDemon but only once we have achieved a certain measure of growth in Australia.

Hi SkyDemon team!

Ah, I see. We would consider integrating this document within SkyDemon in the future as we grow in Australia.

En Route Supplement Australia. A book updated every 6 months by air services australia , info req for every airfield in australia, eg surface type , length, freq , direction, direction of circuits down to phone no of fuel person. Both major nav packages made in oz have it in the programme, but they are not worrying about android so far, I would not fly without it, I am sure you have to have it if you are selected for a ramp check by CASA.

I'm afraid I don't even know what ERSA is. It's therefore safe to assume SkyDemon doesn't provide access to it.

I was told never ask more than question at a time, but still do. Main worry was access To info on ERSA a book on airfield info one has to carry and refer to. Barry

Enroute frequencies aren't displayed on our charts, but are definitely part of our data so should be displayed in the Pilot Log and in the Radio screen during flight. If you're not seeing them could you be specific and let us know which one?
