SkyDemon partners with Eurocontrol for reliable NOTAM briefing

Posted 03 April 2010 (more news)

We have formed a connection with Eurocontrol, meaning that NOTAM data is, or will shortly be, available automatically within SkyDemon for all supported flight information regions. As soon as a route is plotted in any supported European country, the NOTAM window will come to life with all enroute and aerodrome notices relevant to the planned flight. Our NOTAM data comes directly from Eurocontrol, the same place NATS and other ATS providers obtain theirs.

This service is already online for the United Kingdom, Ireland, France and Sweden. It will be expanded to BeNeLux, Denmark and Germany over the next few weeks and thereafter will follow the gradual expansion of our chart coverage.

In the next few weeks there may be periods when NOTAM data is not available as we finalise the way the system works, but you will never see “stale” data in SkyDemon. If our data is not up-to-date, no briefing will be available.

If you are a SkyDemon user already, just plot a route in any of the countries mentioned above to observe the NOTAM functionality. If you’re not, head on over to the Downloads page to start a free 30 day trial.
