She has emailed them again to chase them up. Thx! I 've sent them (Belgian ULM Federation) a message as well to have another look into it. Dirk @ EBZH Dirk CT2K EBZH

Group: Forum Members Posts: 10, Visits: 13	+x Tim Dawson - 10/5/2021 9:38:01 AM I think we initiated discussions with the authors of those charts but nothing came of it in the end. Maybe an idea to take contact with them again? In the rainy weather right now I am simulating flights and it is clear that the standard approaches - especially for ULM fields - is not enough. Typically circuits are a lot smaller and there are restrictions on areas you need to avoid relatively close to these airfields. See example. For now, I will revert to uploading User Documents. But again, there is quite an extensive community that is interested in these plates uploaded into SD, ideally georeferenced. Attachments ebby.pdf (251 views, 248.00 KB)

We all understand that Belgium is a lot smaller than France, but the ULM community would be extremely grateful if these ULIP approach plates are available as a standard, for everyone. Has any progress been made since 2019 (previous post)?

I am a little surprised by this request actually, as we are very popular in Belgium and I don't think anyone has mentioned these plates up until now. Do you know how many airfields are contained in the dataset which do not already have freely available information published in the standard AIP Belgium? 33 Ulip. I have the same problem.

d Group: Forum Members Posts: 2, Visits: 11	Hello there, From an UL-pilot using SD in Belgium: As I also like to use the ULIP Approach charts, I copy the ULIP PDF's into the user documents of SD Files are named as ICAO ID of the airfields. So I can access them in the "Airfields TAB/User documents" Would be nice to see them 'standard' in SD kind regards, Dirk CT2K @ EBZH Dirk CT2K EBZH

F Group: Forum Members Posts: 1, Visits: 0	Dear Tim, There are about 28 Airfields in the Ulip Belgium Database: http://www.bulmf.be/index.php/fr/16-ulip/47-ulip-chart-fr Theses are Visual Approach Chart for some small airfields used by Ultra Light Aircraft and Small Plane. Theses Documents are really reliable and free to use and publish. On the Free Airmate Application, the ULIP Charts are present, that could be nice that you take theses information native also to SkyDemon like airmate does. I have found a way to display with the custom files ICAO_name and that works, but we need to do that for each device because user files are not synced with cloud. What could be nice also is to have the track of the traffic pattern on the map so that we know where to put the aircraft when approaching and for integration. It is a lot a work, but if you let user draw the rectangle of traffic pattern himself and share this data each user would be able to draw the altitude and size of the traffic pattern. Even without sharing that could be nice to be able to draw the traffic pattern of our destination airfield when preparing our route, hope you permit this in futur. With your Make Approach when in flight that is already a step in this direction, but we should have the possibility to define size and altitude when preparing the route...for ease of integration. Thanks Regards Fab501
