I have been asked by Steve Harben, Head of Data Management at AIS to pass on the information below.
On Monday 2nd of August there will be an interruption to the AIS web site.
The Service, currently operating at 512Kbyte, will be upgraded to 1Mbyte
Bandwidth. (More power!) I am informed that we are required to change our public IP address and as such our public DNS records. The new Http address of the web site will be 62.232.19.147
There will be an outage programmed to commence at 10:00 on Monday 2nd August, which we estimate could last for up to two hours.
For a period, which may last up to a week, some Web users will recognise a 'redirect' when they wish to access the site.
All the usual contingency briefings are still available from the NATS web site. On the day, we would recommend that users obtain briefings prior to the 10:00 deadline however NOTAM office staff are available to assist users to obtain a briefings during the period using Tel No 020 8745 3450 or 3451.
To put this into perspective, there are now over 50,000 registered users on the AIS site. In the last year there have been an average of 19,200 log-ins per month with 16,500 briefings delivered per month.
If you experience any problems following the upgrade try forcing a full refresh (Ctrl+F5 on Internet Explorer anyone know how to do it on other browsers?). This will clear out your cache and re-load the page.
