As seen in Skydemon, and mentioned by the support team, Skydemon now adds the word "Radio" standard behind (uncontrolled) aerodrome callsigns without "Tower", "Info", "Traffic" etc. This leads to some incorrect data across several countries. Especially Switzerland should be mentioned here, where only the name of the aerodrome should be used as callsign without the use of "Radio" behind it. As an example: "Wangen-Lachen Radio" should be just "Wangen-Lachen". Only on airfields with AFIS "Information" should be added to the callsign, e.g. "Samedan Information", but this is still correct in Skydemon. Another example is Lithuania, where "Info" is often used instead of "Radio" or just "Traffic". France seems to be still correct, without "Radio".

Would be great to have this corrected in the upcoming charts.

Sorry, callsigns are lifted by us straight out of the AIPs used as source material. If you have found an instance where you believe we are adding or interpreting these, please let me know. I will ask my colleague what we do in Switzerland for aerodromes without an AIP entry.

I've just checked our DFS digital data and the callsign at EDAZ is explicitly provided to us as INFO not INFORMATION. I will ask them to clarify whether a change to this is planned.

With the mentioned official NfL (Nachrichten für Luftfahrer = messages for airmen) the change is in place starting back August 2019. German authorities tend to require every pilot to use ‚all available material‘ for flight planning - AIP alone is definitely not sufficient.
