Secondly, I was sure the AIS was the MASTER of plates however the date 09 threw me a little so i asked a simple question which required a simple answer.
Just a point about them I'm not sure I would regard them as "master" for any practical purpose. They don't have RVRs on them and therefore will not reflect the latest round of changes in legal RVR minima from JAR-OPS to EU-OPS. Also they only state OCHs rather than actual MDA/DAs on them and sometimes need to have system minima added to get a valid MDA/DA. For the UK I'd only trust Jeppesen for plates for real world use.
Other European AIPs (like France for example) are much better though...
