What's New

25/11/04 - Site Update
UK AIP Updated
AIRAC 12/2004 valid from 25th Nov until 22nd Dec 2004.

Cutting and pasting data from most files within the IAIP is now available but extracts are not for commercial use. The UK Integrated Aernautical Information Package is copyright of the United Kingdom Civil Aviation Authority.

PIB Help has been revised and a new Tutorial facility has been introduced.
This is good news.

I have been pressing for some time for the AIP pages to allow "Cut and Paste" so that you could do things like this:-
1.1.1 Except for airport purposes (GEN 1.2.1.1) prior permission is not required for private flights by aircraft registered in States which are parties to the Chicago Convention for overflying the United Kingdom or for making non-traffic stops in United Kingdom territory. Permission for such flights by aircraft registered in States not parties to the Chicago Convention should be sought in accordance with the procedure as set out in GEN 1.2.3.1 paragraph 8 for commercial flights.
This should allow the knowledgable purveyors of information on this forum to be even more authoritative. :p

There's also a new set of tutorial screens (http://www.ais.org.uk/aes/en/image/PIBTut.PDF) as well as updated Help and FAQ. Unfortunately the gremlins have struck and getting to them is not as easy as it could be, with links on the login screen going to some of them and links on the drop-down menus going to the remainder. They're working on that and it should be fixed soon.

What's new? I have been cutting and pasting from the AIP for ages.

Save the page or pages as a pdf on the hard drive and then cut and paste using the PDF select text or select area tools at leisure.

What is needed is a search facility or even a good index.

As for the copyright issue........does taking the info and posting it on the internet not break the conditions under which the info is made available?

What if one decided to pase a bit more than the paragraph pased above........what about a chart?.......where does the line get drawn.

If it is for personal use then why post it for the world to read?

Regards,
