Frequently asked questions
What is the AIP Germany?
The AIP (Aeronautical Information Publication) is the official aeronautical manual of Germany, published by DFS Deutsche Flugsicherung: aerodrome data, procedures and approach charts, amended in the 28-day AIRAC cycle. AIP:Aero links you straight to the official publication.
Are the approach charts free?
Yes - DFS Deutsche Flugsicherung publishes the AIP of Germany including approach charts free of charge, and AIP:Aero is free too: no account, no subscription.
Which charts and airfields are available for Germany?
For Germany you will find VFR airfields, IFR airports and heliports - 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 free German Aeronautical Information Publication AIP is now available as a basic version from Deutsche Flugsicherung (DFS), but without a search function. Our site makes it easier to find airfields, but 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 link to the respective approach charts.
