About us – Rogers Data GmbH

Rogers Data GmbH, headquartered in Vienna with a location near Linz, was founded in 2008. The company focuses on the production of VFR ICAO aeronautical charts for all of Europe and beyond, as well as other products for aviation enthusiasts.

Rogers Data ICAO VFR charts from north to south, from east to west. From one country to the next within Europe and beyond. We also offer VFR charts beyond the borders of Europe – for countries in the Middle East, such as Turkey, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, and Bahrain (scale 1:1,000,000), and for countries in North Africa, such as Morocco, Western Sahara, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, and Egypt. All Rogers Data VFR ICAO charts have the same chart image, content, and quality. This makes it easy to fly across borders – once you are familiar with the Rogers Data chart image, you can fly anywhere in Europe and beyond.

Rogers Data VFR aeronautical charts provide a detailed representation of the respective airspaces. Rogers Data charts are updated annually and are available to pilots at the beginning of each flying season. The basic information for Rogers Data aeronautical charts is obtained from the AIPs (Aeronautical Information Publications) of the respective countries and supplemented by our own research, depending on the country. After thorough review and adjustment of the data, a uniform map format is created step by step. During production, special emphasis is placed on the topographic background map with shading and relief, which conveys a dynamic 3D impression. In addition to these steps, the focus is on maintaining a consistent map image and uniform map layout.

It is a matter close to Rogers Data’s heart that its products are of the highest quality. For this reason, all aviation charts are designed by or in collaboration with professional pilots. With this know-how and expertise, new charts are created or existing charts are updated and adapted. “It is a personal concern of mine to meet the needs and expectations of VFR pilots as best as possible and to contribute to flight planning and execution with optimized aviation charts,” says Robert Gallmayer, CEO of Rogers Data GmbH and professional pilot. “Rogers Data aviation charts are optimized so that they can be easily and smoothly integrated into pilots’ information management processes.” The motto is: From pilots, for pilots!

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.
