Frequently asked questions
What is the AIP France?
The AIP (Aeronautical Information Publication) is the official aeronautical manual of France, published by SIA: 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 - SIA publishes the AIP of France including approach charts free of charge, and AIP:Aero is free too: no account, no subscription.
Which charts and airfields are available for France?
For France you will find aeroports and military aerodromes - 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.
Why this website?
The free Aeronautical Information Publication AIP France is now available from the Service de l'information aéronautique as a basic version, but without a search function. Our site makes it easier to find aerodromes but does not guarantee the accuracy or timeliness of the AIP (Aeronautical Information Publication), as it is not published by us. We only provide links to the respective approach charts.
