I've asked the DFS to comment on this and whether we should be highlighting these airspaces, and will keep you informed here.

Any news on this topic, Tim? 
I find it unfortunate that I have to access the DFS AUP portal manually on there website while all the other information in neatly integrated in Skydemon.

Last month, I did some flights in northern Germany and I noticed that Skydemon doesn't contain AUP data for the TRA zones, which covers a big part of northern en western Germany. Skydemon just shows that for example, TRA EDR201E is active during "weekdays", but it is in fact just active during special activation times, reported by the AUP from the DFS.

Unfortunately, active TRA zones are handled in Germany like "prohibited areas", so an ATC clearance cannot be given. It is therefore very important for pilots to see the TRA status inside Skydemon, so we don't have to check some external websites for airspace status. Especially for pilots from abroad, which are unfamiliar with German websites etc., it would be a massive improvement.


Would it be possible to integrate the German AUP information into Skydemon, and connect it with the military areas, like TRAs, TSAs etc.?

Thanks for the prompt. I've checked my emails and I never got a response, so I've sent it again.

The initial response is that Germany do not send this kind of AUP data to Eurocontrol, therefore it isn't available for us as a real-time datastream. Therefore their WebAUP tool is the only source of the data. I've asked if that would be possible in the future.

Is it not possible to read the briefing data directly from the WebAUP site and parse it into SkyDemon?

Possible? Yes. A good idea? Probably not.
