Group: Forum Members Posts: 47, Visits: 146	Hi, currently, when flying visually into a "larger" German airport/-field, I am shown a bunch of VFR approach plates under plates. There is no way, to tell the difference - for example, which is an overview, which is terminal, which is night, HPA, helicopter, etc. Is it possible to show this additional information just like for the IFR plates? This way, one is not mistakenly opening an approach plate in the embedded view, not intended for his/her kind of flying operation. See this picture of Egelsbach: On the right, you can just pick any "Visual Operation Chart", click the yellow aircraft and you have no idea, if you are using the proper chart flying into the airfield. (Of course, such things must be checked on a proper preflight, etc...). So I believe it's a bit of a safety enhancement here. Maybe this can be done easily, by improving the import process from the plate providers?! Thank you and greetings from Germany, Markus Edited 5/29/2014 9:38:41 AM by markus

The problem is, their documents don't really have proper headings other than "Visual Operation Chart" and we don't want to make them up here.
