This no longer appears to be the case. What would be the recommended method of demonstrating to an Flight Instructor or Examiner that the SkyDemon briefing pack is using current data for NOTAMs and weather?

There are many types of data in SkyDemon, from static chart data to live weather and NOTAM data. Any briefing pack you print should have a footer saying the AIRAC data of the charting data being used. Your NOTAM briefing will display a large red banner if it is out of date.
