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.

Perhaps someone will ask them. It's no fun being stuck in the middle, trying to get the best data available for our customers. At the moment it seems the DFS believe that although a new policy is in place, it requires aerodrome operators to certify that they have actually changed their "callsign". Strange, but I think we are still doing the best we can by using the DFS data in this regard.
