Despite my best endeavours, I am unable to find the US AIP online. I've probably missed something which is blatantly obvious (it has been known) but can anyone point me in the right direction, please ? (I assume it can be found somewhere!)
Thanks.

Pax anglia, Landings (http://www.landings.com) is a good source for U.S. regulations, etc.

The link within their web site is Regulations (http://www.landings.com/evird.acgi$pass*48068106!_h-www.landings.com/_landings/pages/regulations.html#aim)

By "AIP" I believe you are referring to our "AIM." It used to be called "Airman's Information Manual," but some pencil necked political correctness twit at the FAA changed it to "Aeronautical Information Manual."

:D

Thanks for responding.......
I've delved a little further and found that as well as the AIM the AIP does exist although I have yet to find it online. (Copies of both publicatins being available from the Supt. of Documents)
Just to give you a little background, I've been listening to Atlanta Centre and watching the radar coverage for the MACEY STAR on
http://atcmonitor.com I was really looking for the other STARs and SIDs at the airfield for the "bigger picture". Also having flown into Newark and Denver with UAL I was able to listen to ATC communications on one of the audio channels so I was also interested in finding the relevant charts for those airports.
I'll keep searching!
Thanks again.

There is no publication which pilots in the USA use which is called the AIP.

Not that I have come across yet. I know there is such a thing in Australia. In the USA the AIM is the equivalent.

If you are looking for STARS, and DP's (No longer referred to as SID's), and other Instrument Procedure charts you can find copies of them on the aopa website

www.aopa.org

Good LUck.

Thanks Weasil,
Couldn't access AOPA without handing over Credit Card ! The relevant charts are contained within the Members Only section......
but I have found comprehensive Arrival and Departure charts at www.fltplan.com .
Got there eventually!
Thanks for your response.
