ULIP for Belgian ULM airfield are published by the fédération and uptodated. How insert it in SD ? Thanks for your feedback, Pierre. EBBZ. Rans Coyote. ‌

We are not familiar with ULIP, are they an unofficial source of extra information for ULM sites in Belgium? We can compare the data base of the Belgian ULIP (UltraLight Information Chart) to the French DB BASULM, with the big difference is that the ULIP are only updated by the BULMF (Belgian ULM Federaition) while BASULM is updated also by the users. We can say that the ULIP's DB is not official but really verry reliable. This DB can be downloaded on the BULMF web site (http://bulmf.be/index.php/fr/liste). You can download then one by one or all the ULIPS's in one time. In this case, you will download all the ULIP's in french (fr) and flamish (nl) and an excel file which takes the date of the last update of each airfield. The download is free and don't need any permission. The BULMF gives it free in the spirit to improve security.

Just follow the rule of the ICAO code followed by an underlscore and the name you want to give to the map. (see page 48 of the User Manual) But how do you do this on a Windows PC? I did not find. If I put my PDF file under the root directory of SkyDemon in the PC, I do not find this user plate as found in Android. Many thanks for your answer.

Group: Forum Members Posts: 49, Visits: 63	Since the ULIP DataBase is updated by the Belgian ULM Federation (BULMF) and is really reliable, could SkyDemon consider using this DB to automatically download the ULIP into SD as it is done for BASULM for Fance ? Thank you

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?
