3.2   Aeronautical Information Publication – AIP

AIP is the basic document containing data and information of a lasting character, which are of operational significance for the safe conduct of air traffic. AIP Hungary is published in one volume both paper and digital format in English language. The Hungarian Integrated Aeronautical Information Package (IAIP) is available in paper, PDF and electronic form.

3.3   Amendment service to the AIP – AIP AMDT

AIP AMDTs are published by replacement pages as soon as practically possible. Two types of Amendments are produced:

• Non-AIRAC AIP Amendment identified by a white cover sheet. This type of AMDT incorporates permanent changes, which have been previously published in NOTAM or in certain cases in AIP SUP or AIC, as well as minor editorial changes. Publication date is indicated on the cover sheet.
• AIRAC AMDT is identified by a yellow cover sheet and the abbreviation AIRAC. These amendments contains operationally significant information of a permanent nature, which will become effective later at a specified date in accordance with the AIRAC system.

The AIRAC AMDTs are therefore to be inserted in the AIP on the specified date (the AIRAC EFFECTIVE DATE).

On the cover sheet of the Amendments a short description of the subjects affected by the amendment is given. On the individual pages changes/additions will be marked by a vertical stroke in the left margin of the changes/additions. All pages in an Amendment will be clearly marked to indicate with which Amendment it was published and the editing date/date of updating (for AIRAC AMDT, the effective date/the date for insertion into the AIP).

Additionally it will be indicated on the cover sheet which NOTAM and/or AIC that have been included in the AIP by the AMDT, and therefore may be „cancelled” (deleted from the NOTAM/AIC collection).

AIP AMDT and AIP AIRAC AMDT are numbered successively beginning each year with number one. The year is the part of the number, e.g. AMDT 001/2008, AIRAC AMDT 002/2008.

A Check List of valid AIP pages is an integral part of the AIP.

3.4   Supplement to AIP – AIP SUP

AIP SUP contains information temporarily changing the contents of the AIP and where the amount of the information or the inclusion of graphics requires that the information have to be published. AIP SUP is identified by the abbreviation here given and by the use of yellow paper.

An AIP Supplement is kept in the AIP as long as all some of its contents remain valid. The period of validity will normally be given in the AIP SUP itself. Alternatively the period may be given in NOTAM. AIP SUP is numbered in sequence beginning each year with number 1 from 1 JAN. The year is the part of the number, e.g. AIP SUP 001/2008.

A check list of valid AIP Supplements is issued through the monthly Summary of valid NOTAM.

3.5   Electronic AIP (eAIP) and amendment service to the eAIP

The eAIP Hungary is based on the EUROCONTROL‘s eAIP Specification and the ICAO AIP Specimen. For more details please visit the EUROCONTROL eAIP Web site:

Amendments to the eAIP made by issuing a replacement DVD. A new DVD is issued each time when conventional amendments to the paper AIP is published. The amendment number and the effective and publication date are printed on the DVD. Each DVD contains the complete AIP, regular or AIRAC AMDT and SUP for the effective date and all published AIC.

3.8   Check List and Summary of NOTAM

A Check List of valid NOTAM is issued monthly via AFTN. The Check List followed by a printed Summary of NOTAM distributed by mail or email to all recipients of the integrated Information Package. It contains a plain language presentation of the valid NOTAM and information about the number of the latest issued AIP AMDT, AIP AIRAC AMDT, AIP SUP, AIC as well as the numbers of AIRAC NOTAM to become effective or if none, the AIRAC NIL notification.
