Hi forum,

I have a question/subject concerning the "VFR" and "non-VFR"-AIPs in SkyDemon.

e.g. for Czech Republic there is one AIP "Czech Republic" and one named "Czech Republic (VFR)"‌‌‌‌. This difference is also given in the german AIP. It seems, that SkyDemon comes with the IFR-AIP and I can´t find a dedicated "German VFR-AIP" But in "real life" is a VFR-AIP. The difference between VFR and IFR-AIP is the publishing date and an 14 days-offset when changes will be effective. The date of published data has an offset of 14 days between VFR and IFR.

For SD I have purchased the German AIP-Plates‌‌ and I´v found some aerodrome-information concerning smaller airfields which is only found in the German VFR-AIP. So far so good, but the rest of the german AIP (General, Enroute...) seems to be the IFR-Part.

My question is: doesn´t DFS offer the VFR-Part ‌‌to SD or is the German VFR-part simply not offered in SD?

Thanks for your time and answer,
Renzo‌‌‌

Hi Tim,
following this link to Eisenschmidt may help to explain what we are meaning:
https://www.eisenschmidt.aero/charts-manuals/manuals/vfr/785/aip-vfr-basic-document
This paperwork AIP VFR contains a SUP, GEN, ENR and AD part.
The AD part is exactly what we get with our "DFS German AIP VFR" subscription.
The rest is missing and it is not the same as the "normal" IFR AIP.
Eisenschmidt also offers an electronic version called "Visual Flight Guide" but having everthing together in SD would be fantastic!

Best regards
Dirk
