There is a Download button in the AIP section of each Country screen. It's a little cloud with a down arrow on it.

I fully agree! Storage is not a concern in 2024 anymore...
Also, it would be great if I wouldn't need to go to the country tab for AIP updates at all. I mean, I mark it once, then it should update with the regular chart updates.

Using SkyDemon on iPad, Version 4.0.0.397

With the latest update, I can’t find a way to download/update the entire AIP any more.
I would have to click into each country … quite cumbersome. Am I missing a button?

Also: nice feature to have rankings for popularity and so on.
But I can’t find a way to scroll through all airports/AIP any more. Would always have to take the detour via the map and the context menu.

Can I switch back to the old style? Or can we combine these styles?

Cheers
Markus


I very much agree. I hadn't spotted that feature being removed when beta testing.

Not being able to access when airborne an AIP section or an airfield plate that I haven't already pre-downloaded when on the ground is a severe limitation, particularly if needing to divert to somewhere unexpected. It could be very embarrassing or even hazardous if IFR for example.

Having to download the AIP document by document, and the airfield info airfield by airfield is a PITA, frankly. 

I'd request that we have a 'Download AIP' (including airfields) feature restored, at a Country level, even if not for all countries for which charts are present as before.
