+x+x Planning a trip to Spain, I want to add PDF documents attached to the information of certain Airfields. But even when there is an ICAO code (LEPI for Casa de los Pinos, LERE for Requena) they are not attached do the airfield information, it is possible to see the PDFs only getting in the User's Documents Folder. Have I missed something ? I made a test for a "real" airport - Huesca - and it works. So LEPI, LERE are not "real" OACI names ? But if the new version of SD arrives before my trip (end of March) it will normally work for all airfields that appear in SD ... as it is announced for the next version ...

I create a LERE_Requena.pdf file and it work. LESZ no. It exist if you search, but not on SkyDemon map so you can't touch the screen to open the airfield details, perhaps the coordinates are wrong or map not updated.

You are right for LERE, it works, but not for LESZ, and it appears clearly in the map, with the usual airfields details provided by SD. I hope that the new version will solve these issues. Anyway, I can get the information opening the users' document folder, it is not a big problem, just having a more quick and confortable way to get the info. Unfortunately, in Spain there is not a good DBASE for the non OACI airfields, as in France (BASULM) that is perfectly incorporated in SDemon.

There is no reason why user documents would not work for any airfield with an ICAO code.

LESZ is OK , I could not see on the map because of runway length filter, and also a PDF LESZ_anyname.pdf work fine. Check the name and don't forget underscore .

Hi,
Smaller private airfields do exist and it would be nice to be able to link a user pdf to it.
But SD doesn't know about those airfields ...
Wouldn't it be possible to link user pdf's to a user waypoint ?
Waypoints can be entered from an iPad and saved to the cloud.
By holding your finger on the iPad screen above the waypoint, SD opens the What's Here pop up screen, where there is an Information tab, from which the user pdf could be opened ...
Off course the name of the waypoint should be related to the name of the user pdf in a similar way as with the ICAO names.
Would be nice ;-))
Best Regards
Francis

Would be nice ;-)) Best Regards Francis Give the smaller airports when entering the data as custom airport an entry in the ICAO field with a designator of your choice and you can attach a PDF to it exactly the same as you can for the bigger airports. Forgive me my ignorance, but can a custom airfield be entered from an iPad ?

+xWell, we cannot force national authorities to give ICAO designators to smaller airfields. But you're right, we could make the local identifiers work for user document lookup. The only potential problem with this is that local identifiers are not internationally unique. But if you don't care about this, neither do we. We will make those identifiers work for user document lookup in the next version, and hopefully that will solve the issue for you. How will you consider the cases without an ICAO type indicator, as Estartit, Sallent Club Pla de Bages and many, many others ? In Spain there are hundreds ...
