Hello SD team,

Currently, I have a paper version of the Swiss VFR Manual and I subscribed to your version. Unfortunately, there are several missing documents. If you do not fix this problem in 2 weeks, I will need to pay for a renewal of my Skyguide subscription and my satisfaction about your support will be less and I might choose to not renew the subscription to your products.

The following documents are missing:
- all SUPs, i.e. 002/14 (RAC 5-2 SUPPLEMENT pages from 1 to 4), 004/14 (RAC 5-4 SUPPLEMENT pages 1 and 2), 001/15 (RAC 5-1 SUPPLEMENT pages 1 and 2), 002/15 (RAC 5-5 pages from 1 to 6)
- AGA 3-3 APP 1
- RAC 4-0-0-3 and RAC 4-0-0-4 (RAC 4-0-0 stops at page 2, the pages 3 and 4 are missing)
- Leysin heliport (LSXY): Visual Approach Chart LSXY HEL 1
- Schaffhausen aerodrome (LSPF): Visual Approach Chart LSPF VAC 4
- Untervaz heliport (LSXU): Visual APCH(DEP Chart LSXU HEL 3

There is a typo :
- Heliport LSXA, replace the name Tsvasana by Tavanasa

Yes, they are. The Swiss AIP is only intended for IFR.
Skyguide as two types of official AIP (see https://www.skyguide.ch/en/services/aim-services/shop/catalogue/?categories_id[0]=3&tx_multishop_pi1[page_section]=products_listing&cHash=611e187499925544b75ef4242eb32ac4):
- AIP (IFR) for IFR. It is the free one in SkyDemon, which you call Swiss AIP.
- VFR Manual for VFR. It is the offical AIP for VFR, the one with additional subscription in SkyDemon.
Looking carefully, we see that the AIP (IFR) SUP 004/2015 has the same content as VFR Manual SUP 002/15. The presentation is slightly different. The VFR Manual contains text in English and at least in a national language. Unfortunately it is the only one which applies to IFR and VFR:
- Avalanche firings should be at low height and outside controlled airspaces, thus only for VFR
- Test flight activity outside CTR Emmen is at 3000ft AMSL in airspace G (height less than 2000 ft), thus only for VFR
- Change of availability of airport slots at LSZH concerns only VFR slots, thus only for VFR
