Are the approach charts free?
AIP:Aero is free: no account, no subscription. Airservices Australia publishes the AIP of Australia including approach charts; access to the official portal may require a paid subscription.
Which charts and airfields are available for Australia?
For Australia you will find VFR airfields such as Sydney Kingsford Smith Airport (YSSY) - each with a direct link to the official chart, decoded weather (METAR/TAF) and aerodrome data.
Can I use AIP:Aero offline or on my EFB?
Yes - AIP:Aero installs as an app (PWA), and single aerodromes or the whole country can be saved offline. See the EFB guide.
Where can I learn to read a chart or decode METAR/TAF?
New to aeronautical charts? The pilot guides walk through reading a VFR/IFR approach chart, the AIRAC cycle and decoding METAR and TAF, and the aviation glossary explains the key terms like AIP, VFR/IFR, ICAO codes and chart types.
What is this website for?
The Australian Aeronautical Information Publication AIP is published by Airservices Australia; access to the official portal may require a paid subscription. This website aims to simplify the search for airfields, as the official AIP does not include a search function. We do not accept any liability for the accuracy or timeliness of the AIP (Aeronautical Information Publication), as it is not published by us. We only provide convenient links to the respective approach charts.
