AIS EN - VFR Manual

For users

What kind of data are there in the manual?

The information provided by VFR airports not included in the Hungarian AIP, which is provided by 6/2022. (VII. 27.) TIM decree.

What kind of charts are there in the manual?

There are two types of maps that follow the guidelines set by ICAO (Non-ICAO certified!):

VAC (Visual Approach Chart): This scale map provides flight crew with information that allows them to approach the visual flight rules after a route flight / descent section chart.

ADC (Aerodrome Chart): This non-scale map provides flight crew with information that facilitates the movement of aircraft on the ground between the stand and the runway.

Can I print the charts?

Both charts can be downloaded in one file in pdf format. Printed on A4 paper, we get both on one sheet.

What kind of data and information is required for the publication?

When concluding a formal agreement, HungaroControl AIS will provide a data sheet to be completed by the airport. The data and information in the data sheet will be published in the publication and, in part, HungaroControl AIS will create the maps to be included in the publication.

How and when can airport information be updated in the publication?

HungaroControl AIS ensures that the VFR Manual is up-to-date with annual updates.

1. The airport operator will contact the HungaroControl AIS department at the e-mail address vfrmanual@hungarocontrol.hu.
2. The AIS department of HungaroControl requests the basic data from the airport operator, then prepares and sends the draft SLA and the data request table to the airport operator.
3. The operator indicates his comments on the draft SLA or the acceptance of the contents of the draft SLA to the AIS department of HungaroControl, and then signs and returns the final SLA sent.
4. The operator fills in and returns the data table.
5. The AIS department of HungaroControl publishes the received data in the VFR Manual.
