DFS can offer it to you providing your flightplan is concerned only with Germany as a departure, as they also do all the flightplan routing. Same with Skyguide in Switzerland. SkyDemon is an international tool and works outside those regions, where there is no standardisation for VFR flightplan "status". it doesn't mean you cannot implement country-specific features (like getting status -accepted, departed, arrived- notifications) for German/Swiss domestic FPLs, does it? I couldn't find a way to: - make a change without cancellation (pe. POB or endurance, maybe even routing) - send a DEP message (SkyDemon could even do this automatically when airborne) is it possible? Could anybody confirm if closing the FPL in SkyDemon means an "ARR" message? (it would be nice also to send this automatically when the user logs on-block)

Any service that allows making a change is just silently doing that, which of course you can easily do with SkyDemon as it generates the completed flightplan for you. We have considered adding the ability to send a DEP message previously, but there simply hasn't been much demand for such a feature. SkyDemon already sends an ARR message when you close a flightplan (that's what closing a flightplan means) but we would not wish to automate the feature unless lots of people seemed to want us to do that.
