Hi,

Would it be possible to include the German AIP of the aerodrome details in the plate selection? To my knowledge it is the only possibility to scroll through the entire document to go to the information instead of having the respective page available with the plates.
Unless not all the information included in this very AIP part is included on the info page (such as fuel available, hours of operation, it is very annoying to find the information.

Kind regards,
Manos

Sorry, I do not understand the question. I believe we publish all documents given to us by DFS.

Hi!

There are certain information such as opening hours etc. which are not implemented in die info charts of skydemon itself.
So I have to open this document (which is only available via the document browser - see attached image) and then I have to scroll manually until I find the airfield.
There are other apps (such as platzrunde.de) where the text info of the AIP is directly selectable together with the aerodrome and visual operations chart.
So to get to these information is very unhandy. Thus, I suggest to have the respective page available as a third chart together with the other two or implement ALL the information into the info window.

Kind regards

Ok, now I understand what you mean. The document you mention is the only one provided by DFS. Can you share a screenshot of some other product which cuts out the relevant information and presents it on its own? We can then ask DFS the appropriate questions.

Hey,

are you talking about more examples of the same product or what do you want screenshots of?

By the way: The airspace D EDFH frequency is wrong, it should shoe 125.6. Your "128.5" does not exist. Same thing with EDDF airspace C. There is no 128.5. It must be 120.8 or 136.125 alternatively. As well as the Frankfurt Tower North Frequency is missing 136.5. "Frankfurt Arrivals is 120.8 istead of your 118.5".
Where do you get these frequencies from and how come there are so many errors?

And one more question: Why has the forum so many problems. It is slow, many times a get an error and have to reload etc. Are you aware and working on that?

Kind regards

You asked for an alternative presentation of the aerodrome contact details, then I explained that we show the document as received from DFS. You then mentioned that another product displays it different, so I asked to see an example so that I might fully understand what you're saying, and show it to DFS if necessary.

Regarding EDFH, the AIP definition for this airspace in ENR 2.1 simply says "Langen Radar" with no frequency. I can find no reference to a 125.6 in either ENR 2.1 or the AD EDFH entry. At present we simply have the frequency encoded as "Langen Radar" so SkyDemon attempts to look up a frequency with that callsign elsewhere, and ends up finding the FIS frequency. I agree this is not very good, but it's primarily because the AIP is very unclear by not actually giving a frequency or another page in the AIP from which to obtain one. EDDF is a similar issue except that in its AD page, there ARE entries for Langen Radar, only there is more than one entry. Again, the AIP is unclear.

The AIP entry for EDDF does not mention any frequency labelled as "north". We typically include only the primary frequency for a TWR station, for simplicity. Otherwise we would be displaying a list of frequencies to the user with no additional information as to which to choose, because the AIP simply doens't provide that information.

Frankfurt Arrival is 118.500 and this is correct in our data.

This forum will be receiving an upgrade in due course.

Hi Tim,

thanks for the answer. The screenshot is included in my initial post and shows the AIP product available through sky demon (Aerodrome Details) in the document browser -> DFS German VFR AIP -> Aerodrome Details/DFS.
The only difference is, that these details cannot be selected airport by airport but the entire document has to be searched for one single airport I'm interested in. So the data is available but not very handy.
It'd be nice if the respective page of the airport was accessible together with the visual and the aerodrome chart, in the same way the latter can be opened. I hope you can see my point?

The forum apparently improved, I didn't have that many problems anymore these days.

Thanks a lot for a great program and taking your customers seriously. To make that clear: Your app is really good, I just try to help make it perfect ;-)

And regarding the frequencies: EDFH frequency can just be found on the IFR plate.

EDIT: After some research I found out the mystery about the Frankfurt Arrival frequency. It's a little complicated story why this one is the only "Frankfurt Arrival" frequency listed in the AIP, but after all it is technically correct. So sorry for that. However, for a C crossing, it is not the best to call in. But I clearly get your point regarding the AIP information.

Sorry, it simply isn't straightforward for us to pick every airport's details out of the big document and manually transcribe them when they're updated so often. If DFS ever breaks the document up into easier-to-read sections that would in turn make it easier for us.

Unfortunately the EDDF Arrival frequency IS 118.500 according to the AIP entry, which is the official location of that data. If another frequency is in use then you need to ask DFS to update the official AIP entry. I hope you understand why we cannot make our data differ from the official data just because a helpful user tells us the frequency is wrong. If the frequency is corrected in the AIP then everybody will benefit!

I agree that it is not posssilble to separate and change the information by hand updated every 4 weeks by DFS. Other programs like Flight Planner (Ifos GmbH) have a separate textual information and update it every 4 weeks.

Could you ask DFS why this is not possible to get from them? It would be a great help for the users.
