D Group: Forum Members Posts: 10, Visits: 4	Last saturday, I flow to Auxerre (LFLA in France) and then impossible to get the georeferenced Chart when arrival. Of course, I had no internet connexion when flying with my Pad (SAMSUNG Galaxy TAB S 8"). At home, with Wifi, it works fine. -Is there a setting somewhere (that I missed...) to load into my Pad memory all the French Charts?‌ -Same question for the ‌Base ULM (LF2829 for example) Thanks‌ Owner of a VL3 Evolution

It is at least, as much as important as it is for the airfield; If I need to land quickly on my route I have more chance to be close to a base Ulm than an airfield... -On the minium available data you have about the Base ULM I see the runway lenght, orientation but nothing about the circuit (witch side of the runway, altitude); I am astonished, these are critical informations. Did I missed something? Owner of a VL3 Evolution

But it falls outside of the normal SkyDemon channels and therefore there is no process designed for bulk-downloading of the documents. It always remains the pilot's responsibility to have all the documents likely to be needed for the flight.‌‌

And it is exceptionally good, compared with other countries. It has the telephone number you can contact before to know all the needed information. In most cases, it is required to make a phone call. And if it is an urgent landing ... no need to have detailed information. I flied in Spain last month and to obtain information about microlight fields ... I had to work a lot, because there is nothing like BasULM. So ... I think the possibility that SDemon gives to have an easy access to BasULM is really good. When you plan a route, just download all the Airfield plates close to your route and you will have the best available information on your Pad ...

D Group: Forum Members Posts: 10, Visits: 4	OK, thanks for replies. I am astonished about how it is easy to download on my PAD, all the airfield charts and BasULM in MACH7 or SDVFR; Why not with SD? Owner of a VL3 Evolution
