Good morning,

The index has been removed from the AIP Book. Indexing of the publication is a time consuming and manual process that has an increased risk of errors being published. It is not required by ICAO. The Table of Contents is comprehensive and provides more information than is required by ICAO.

Regards,

Aeronautical Information Officer
Airservices Australia

I'm guessing it's much cheaper now - right?

AIP book index removal

I share your sentiment.
Completely unacceptable. It has hampered search ability and therefore jeopardizing time and therefore safety.
This is an obvious attempt to cut costs in they're ever changing AIP or they just can't keep up.
I was told to search under contents but we all know very well there is much that can be missed searching contents.

We need to put pressure on CASA and AIRSERVICES to Get them to include it ASAP

I assume the other reason they've binned the index is because many people have electronic copies now. Don't need an index if you can search for terms yourself.

Electronic copies not acceptable for exam purposes

Alternatively, you can access the document online and use the Find (ctrl F) function if you wish to do a search for specific information.

Sorry to clog up the airwaves. This is from my latest AIP update. The previous and updated page are pictured - the change is a minor detail in the URL. Guess what happens if you enter the old one into your browser - SAME RESULT!!! How much does it cost per page for someone to edit this stuff, approve it, print it, distribute it ... for what? This is a waste of time and money. Whoever approved and distributed this change is wasting all our time (and paper).

All times are GMT. The time now is 03:48.
