Out of interest, what is your opposition to using the VFR AIP which is the source of that information? It is well integrated into SkyDemon. Someone else pointed out that the combined cost of SkyDemon and the VFR AIP is less than the Jeppesen product used to cost.

Dear Tim Dawson,
it is a widespread misbelief that looking at a Skydemon graphical map representation of "the world, the airspaces and everything" is sufficient as replacement for a proper flight preparation. We don't have to start an academic discussion on the stupidity of such misconception. I agree Skydemon has come to a real nice maturity as navigational aid including the VFR AIP, but everybody has to repeat over and over agin - it is only a 80 to 90 percent aid, no replacement.

Which missing 10 to 20% are you referring to? Surely it is partially necessary to check alternate sources of information such as the weather or airfield websites for local specialties as for example noise abaitment procedures due to critical residents. But these are aspects I do not require or demand from a navigation software such as SkyDemon.

Dear Markus,

I’m a little bit worried about your statement (... 80 to 90% ...)!

Besides weather briefing and legally irrelevant local specialities, can you please provide just one or two examples, that show clearly SD (with extra paid AIPs included) does not provide sufficient information w.r.t. legally correct flight planning.

Thanks
Gerhard
