Supplement to the PIB

Hello dear support team,

would it be possible, when creating the PIB, to include the information from the “AIP VFR” regarding the German airfields saved in my planning?

Dieter

Hi Dieter,

welcome to the forum :waving_hand:

Thanks for your suggestion!

Could you describe in a bit more detail which data would help you? The available information is extensive, and I think too much information would make the PIB unnecessarily long. So we should carefully choose which data to display.

Hello Dieter,

great to have you here​:slightly_smiling_face:.

The PIB should and must contain, as far as possible, the relevant information for routing the flight. There may be some leeway in terms of formatting to accommodate comprehensive information. …Personally I don’t like an “overloading” of information. That’s especially important for digital printouts of the PIB. (Readability on phones / small tablets)

For trips I still print the PIB the old-school way on paper and add handwritten notes with a pen → I know, not very up-to-date.

In that sense I agree with Hermann.

Hello Hermann,

the following information would be helpful to me:

But at the same time I agree with Karsten (KBfly) that the PIB issue should, for the sake of clarity, be short and to the point; so please don’t pursue my request any further.

Hello,

Putting all of that in completely would definitely “overload” the PIB!!!

My current solution idea: …add a link (if applicable) to this in the PIB.
Yes, of course that doesn’t help the paper version of the PIB and yes, you do have to be online. …which nowadays is already mandatory anyway, among other things because of NOTAMs, traffic and weather!

Safe flying,
Karsten
