Format of an AIP

The format of an AIP produced by an ICAO contracting state conforms to a common standard in
accordance with the Standards and Recommended Practices (SARP) of Annex 15 to the Convention on
International Civil Aviation and with the Aeronautical Information Services Manual (ICAO Doc 8126).
Thus the Air Information Publication United Kingdom is a typical reference document. It is divided into:

 VOLUME I - AIP PART 1, GENERAL (GEN) and AIP SUPPLEMENTS (AIP SUP)
 VOLUME II - AIP PART 2, EN ROUTE (ENR)
 VOLUME III - AIP PART 3, AERODROMES (AD)

Figure 1.1 Location indicators

Location Indicators are allocated mainly to licensed aerodromes, Air Control Centres and Flight
Information Centres. An indicator comprises four letters; the first two denote the country and the last two
the airfield or centre. Thus:

Hucknall EGNA

Humberside EGNJ

Agency Designator, three letters, and Office Designator, one letter, may be added after the Location
Indicator. This allows messages to be directed to an agency and/or an office at a particular location.

For example the Agency Designators for an Air Traffic Control Unit and a Flight Information
Centre, at any location, are ZAZ and ZIZ; the Office Designators at any location for Freight and
Cargo and Passenger Handling are F and P.

Normally, for day to day operations, pilots need to be aware only of the significance of the Location
Indicator, particularly when filing a Flight Plan (CA48), where the entries for departure, destination and
diversion airfields, and FIR/UIR boundaries, are represented by a particular four-letter code.

AIP GEN - NOTAMS (Notices to Airmen)


(Ref. UK AIP GEN 3.1)

All operationally significant information not covered by AIP Amendment or AIP Supplement will be
issued as a NOTAM.

All operationally significant changes issued as Aeronautical Regulation and Control (AIRAC) AIP
Amendments, AIP Supplements or Aviation Information Circulars (AIC) will be additionally announced
by “Trigger” NOTAMS, which remain valid for 15 days after a permanent change and for the complete
duration of any temporary change or condition.

Three categories of NOTAMS are disseminated by the Aeronautical Fixed Service (AFS):

 NOTAMN, which contains new information.


 NOTAMR, which replaces a previous one.
 NOTAMC, which cancels a previous one.

UK NOTAMS are divided into two categories:

 Those containing information on UK International Airports and en route information of interest to


both international and domestic recipients. (A to H, J and exceptionally X).
 Those containing information on domestic aerodromes and information to domestic recipients
only. (L to N, R and exceptionally X).
