in PLOG Uncontrolled Airports are indicated as EDXX "Information". In Germany they are called EDXX "Info".
Btw. thank you for your excellent work.
Kind regards

If the problem is that we are saying Information instead of Info, I don't think that it's something that needs to be fixed.

I lived in Germany, near Munich, for 5 years and i know that the controllers there are extremely picky.
An uncontrolled airfield has the callsign 'Info', and a FIS has the callsign 'Information'. Unlike in the UK, where 'info.' is an abbreviation for 'information',
they are 2 separate and distinct services in Germany.
and so if you call an airfield with callsign 'information', or a FIS with the callsign 'info', they simply will not answer you.

Could you give a couple of examples from Germany of airfields where this distinction would be important? We can then analyse our data and pass the feedback on to our data provider if necessary.
