So you'll find them all grouped together in that document. Obviously this is‌‌ something beyond our control, but we have already made both Eurocontrol and the French authorities aware of what a pain this will cause people who access French AIP documents through SkyDemon and Eurocontrol, and I believe the French stated that they plan to reverse this change sometime in the coming months. Making representations to E‌‌urocontrol or (better yet) to the French SIA would probably help.

You can download (for free) the ZIP EAIP COMPLET AIRAC XX/XX on the SIA site (https://www.sia.aviation-civile.gouv.fr/produits-numeriques-en-libre-disposition/eaip.html) and get airport folders with a .pdf for EACH individal IFR plate (eAIP\FRANCE\AIRAC-2024-10-31\html\eAIP\Cartes\LFXX) Even AirMate, a free world wide app for pilots, proposes georeference IFR (SID, STAR, Appr) french plates. It's really a pitty not to have this oppotunity in SD, now that we have this amazing feauture to interface SK with an Auto Pilot. via BT. !
