I just updated the maps on SkyDemon 1.4.4. The grass runway of Lelystad (EHLE) seems displaced, it is now right in line with the concrete runway. That will make for some 'interesting' takeoffs and landings.

We are seeing a number of posts indicating displacement of features. I wonder how frequent are these occurrences and if they have actually been verified.

We have no data for the threshold positions of that grass runway. Where we have no such data, we do still depict the runway as a guide of its orientation, but draw a thick red line around it to indicate that it's not an accurate map.
As you can see, that is what has happened here.

I am sorry Tim, but you must be making a mistake.
EHLE is my home field and I have viewed the runway information many times before. The grass strip has always been in the right position. It has moved to this position recently.

I seem sure that there is a very good reason and an easy solution to this phenomenon. once these are ironed out e-instrument approaches can be introduced.

Rob, check the AIP entry for the airfield. I did yesterday and saw that the threshold coordinates are published for the main hard runway but not for the grass runway. The SkyDemon data will reflect this change. If you wish the grass runway threshold positions to be published again I suggest asking the airfield why their AIP entry changed in this way.

Looks like you are right. I can't understand why this strip isn't in the AIP with proper coordinates.
I'll get in touch with the field management, perhaps they can add them (back) in.
