Hello,
I can see the instruments plates for the different countries I have active (BE, NL, D, UK, LUX) but not in France.
Am I missing something or are these not (yet ?) available ? If the latter, any view when these will be available ?

Thanks in advance.
J

There's no metadata in PDFs for georeferencing; it's an entirely manual process.

Just for curiosity, why didn't you go for the Geospatial PDF format?

There's no metadata in PDFs for georeferencing; it's an entirely manual process.

Personally I see the georeferencing as a 'nice to have'. However being able to access a single IAC / STAR / SID plate instead of scrolling through a huge document would be a great. I understand SD is not the problem but the data is, and that this feature in fact exists in SD, and you're requesting SIA to fix this, but in the last years this unfortunately didn't help.  

I know that you only want to implement something if it is good, but I think we can implement a stable script with enough sanity checks, that indexes the big pdf and throws out individual plates. To test it, I wrote a Python script that takes as input the big pdf as a whole. It takes the title names of every page which is located either in the top left or right corner, and then exports single IAC plates pdf's based on the name. I tested with LFGJ, LFLL and LFAB and it works. I'm willing to help implementing this in another programming language or adapt it to meet SD's high integrity standard for the data.

Example LFGJ.pdf output of the indexing step of the script:
page 0 : .LFGJ -1
page 1 : .LFGJ -2
page 2 : .LFGJ -3
page 3 : .LFGJ -4
page 4 : .LFGJ -5
page 5 : No data obtained
page 6 : LFGJ ADC 01
page 7 : LFGJ APDC 01
page 8 : LFGJ AOC RWY 05/23
page 9 : LFGJ DATA 01
page 10 : LFGJ DATA RWY05 RNP Y CODE
page 11 : LFGJ DATA RWY05 RNP Z CODE
page 12 : LFGJ DATA RWY05 RNP Z FASDB
page 13 : LFGJ IAC RWY05 ILS LOC
page 14 : LFGJ IAC RWY05 NDB
page 15 : LFGJ IAC RWY05 RNP Y
page 16 : LFGJ IAC RWY05 RNP Z
page 17 : LFGJ COM 01

Then saves the IAC's:
save page 13 as: RWY05 ILS LOC
created RWY05 ILS LOC.pdf
save page 14 as: RWY05 NDB
created RWY05 NDB.pdf
save page 15 as: RWY05 RNP Y
created RWY05 RNP Y.pdf
save page 16 as: RWY05 RNP Z
created RWY05 RNP Z.pdf
