About us – Rogers Data GmbH

For the 2022 issue year, the range of charts has even been expanded to include some countries in the Middle East, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar and Bahrain.

The range of aeronautical charts is aimed in particular at pilots in general aviation, aviation companies and training organizations. “It is a personal concern of mine to meet the needs and expectations of VFR pilots in the best possible way and to contribute to this in flight planning and flight execution through optimized aeronautical charts,” says Ing. Robert Gallmayer, CEO Rogers Data GmbH. “Rogers Data aeronautical charts are optimized to be easily and smoothly integrated into pilots’ information management processes.” Our VFR charts are also used for the Microsoft Flight Simulator Training (FSX) to make the flight in the simulator even more realistic.

The basic information for the Rogers Data aeronautical charts is obtained from the AIPs (aeronautical information publication) of the national states and, depending on the country, supplemented by our own research.  After thorough examination and implementation of adjustments to the data, a uniform chart format is created step by step. During production, special emphasis is placed on the topographic background map with shading and relief, which gives a dynamic 3D impression. In addition to these work steps, the concept of a consistent map image and uniform chart layout is kept in focus.

Rogers Data assortment

From Scandinavia in the north to Greece in the south, from Portugal in the west to Poland in the east. Same chart image, same content and same quality. No matter which chart sheet you hold in your hands. With the addition of Scandinavia and south-eastern Europe in 2021, Rogers Data now covers almost 30 European countries with aviation charts. The product range includes printed and digital aeronautical charts, as well as other items such as navigation compasses and accessories in aviation design. One of Rogers Data’s main concerns is to ensure that its products are of the highest quality. For this reason, all aviation charts are designed by or in collaboration with professional pilots. This know-how and expertise is used to create new charts or to update and adapt existing charts. Therefore, the motto “From pilots for pilots” applies.

Charts content

Rogers Data VFR aeronautical charts – ICAO charts have a very detailed representation of ATS airspace structures. We use a high-quality topographic map with shading and relief. This creates a dynamic 3D impression. The charts include TMZ transponder mandatory zones, RMZ radio mandatory zones, airports, aerodromes and heliports with additional information, compulsory reporting points, reporting points on request, significant points (border crossing), Radio Navigation Aids with name, frequency and morse code.

Danger-, restricted- and prohibited areas, obstacles or group of obstacles and aerial sporting and recreational activities and areas with sensitive fauna. All Rogers Data VFR aeronautical charts are based on the latest aeronautical information from AIP and their supplements of CAA. They are based on the relevant regulations of ICAO Annex 4 and EU-Regulations.

Advantages of Rogers Data VFR-ICAO Charts

All Rogers Data VFR aviation charts feature the unique RDtech® lamination coating technology. With this technology, all charts are tear resistant and can be folded as many times as needed. The special lamination minimizes solar reflection, mirroring and has been tested at temperatures between -20°C and +80°C. The Rogers Data charts can be written on with an optimized permanent RDtech® pen set. The marked flight paths and markings can be removed afterwards with a RDtech® spray or RDtech® cleaning wipes without leaving any residue. All Rogers Data VFR charts have the same design, the same chart image and the same quality. The uniform appearance makes it easy to find one’s way around the respective chart. In addition to the classic print version, all charts are also available digitally. An identical chart image on the screen and on the folded chart in the hand proves to be a great advantage. Here Rogers Data works together with numerous manufacturers of apps and certified NAV built-in devices.
