Dear,

Each country offers the possibility to buy a subscription for their charts. Eg: Skyguide for Switzerland, Avioportolano for Italy, DFS for Germany, Rogers for Austria and so on.
Why not to develop an integration with Jeppesen chart? Did you already evaluate this opportunity?
Jeppesen charts (approach, area, etc.) are all the same style and they have essential info specific for VFR flights, and you can find many useful info (PPR? Customs? Etc) in an easy way and in one place (it’s not always easy to find some specific rules for GA flight in Civil Text info for some aerodrome...).

Many thanks for your attention.
Andrea.

I believe in the vast majority of cases SkyDemon will be cheaper, even if one buys a couple of national visual approach chart products.

Mike, it isn't correct to list all those third-party products in SkyDemon as a comparison because they are not all visual approach chart products. Furthermore, the aerodromes covered by the products we resell will be a different set than the ones Jeppesen sell.

TIm, it is all about what customers want, I personally would like jepp charts even if they are a few euros more, and I do not believe it is such a big deal for SD. give customer the option, it will strenghthen SD not weaken your position.

As a former Jeppesen VFR FliteDeck user, I can only endorse the request for full Jeppesen VFR approach chart support.

With the discontinuation of Jeppen VFR FliteDeck many users are looking for a new solution.

The big advantage of the old Jeppesen solution was the complete availability of VFR approach charts for the whole of Europe in a uniform look-and-feel of information. This is a huge advantage for people who fly cross-border in Europe. You don't have to adapt to many different designs of approach charts, you always know immediately where to find the information you are looking for.

And as already written here about the costs, the complete Europe version of the Jeppesen VFR charts costs €99,- for Foreflight.

With a similar offer for SD you could surely get many of the former Jeppensen VRF Flitedeck users excited about SD. Especially since Foreflight is much more expensive.
