screen, I asked you what made you think the reporting points had a specified level associated with them. Thank you for confirming your expectation was set by another product. That data is incorrect; the reporting points do not have specific levels associated with them.

There is a general note associated with EDNY on the DFS approach chart that approaches/departures are to be conducted at 3000' max. That isn't the same as reporting points having a specific level associated with them.

As others have pointed out, the product you mentioned was a lot more expensive than SkyDemon. All the information you need is in SkyDemon with the DFS VFR AIP. Unlike all other countries, this AIP is a paid add-on because Germany will not release it for free.

What was the price of an annual subscription to MFD, including all the VFR info and plates, compared with SD and the German VFR add-on?

All of Europe cost € 297 .-- including 3 days weather forecast, GAFOR and wind etc.




If the altitude data you need is shown on the airfield plates and area charts that come in the DFS VFR add-in, then you've just saved over a €100 per year. You can get weather from lots of places these days.


Thank you for the bill :-)But I fly not only in Germany, but also in Italy, Switzerland, Austria and sometimes in the Czech Republic. now calculate what all this costs?At the same time, as accurately and understandably as the weather or the wind was shown in all altitudes (that for 3 days in advance), I only know from jeppesen mfd VFR

Your screenshots look like scanned, used paper charts.
Maybe, they’re outdated?

The latest official DFS chart indicates a maximum altitude of 3000 ft for approaches and departures.


Yes, it is a screenshot of a printout of the approach chart. The card is from Dec 2019.I am sure that if Skydemon would directly integrate the maps like Jeppesen MFD (approach maps and detailed airport maps), more pilots would buy SD !!

What makes you think the VRPs at EDNY have a designated level associated with them? I can find nothing in the source data to indicate they do.

This is a screenshot from Jeppesen MFD, here the heights of the mandatory reporting points and the holding company are already shown on the map. Unfortunately I do not have the AIP from Germany.

The last screenshot shows the taxiway with taxiways and so on

Hi screen,I was curious and found some georeferenced charts in SD:I hope, this helps ;-)Gerhard

why can't you display this information directly on the map of skydemon. jeppesen mfd vfr could do that too !!!!

but it is important to label the entrances (A1, A2 etc.) at the top of the warehouse :-)
