3.2   Aeronautical Information Publication – AIP

AIP is the core document containing data and information of a lasting character, which are of operational significance for the safe conduct of air traffic. The AIP Hungary is published in one volume both on paper and in digital format, in the English language. The Hungarian Integrated Aeronautical Information Package (IAIP) is available on paper, and in PDF and electronic form.

3.3   Amendment service to the AIP – AIP AMDT

The AIP AMDTs are published in the form of replacement pages as soon as practically possible. Two types of Amendment are produced:

• Non-AIRAC AIP AMDTs are identified by a white cover sheet. This type of AMDT incorporates permanent changes, which have been previously published by NOTAM or in certain cases by AIP SUP or AIC, as well as minor editorial changes. The publication date is indicated on the cover sheet.
• AIRAC AMDTs are identified by a yellow cover sheet and the abbreviation AIRAC. These amendments contains operationally significant information of a permanent nature, which will become effective at a later, specified date, in accordance with the AIRAC system.

On the cover sheet of the AMDTs, a short description of the subjects affected by the amendment is given. On the individual pages, changes/additions will be marked by a vertical stroke in the left margin next to the changes/additions. All pages in an AMDT will be clearly marked to indicate with which AMDT the page was published and the date of insertion (for AIRAC AMDT, the publication date and the effective date).

Additionally, the cover sheet will indicate which NOTAM and/or AIC may be cancelled as a result of the inclusion of the information within the AIP itself.

AIP AMDT and AIP AIRAC AMDT are numbered successively, beginning each year with number one. The year is the part of the number, e.g. AMDT 001/2008, AIRAC AMDT 002/2008.

A Check list of AIP pages is an integral part of the AIP.

3.4   Supplement to the AIP – AIP SUP

Temporary changes of duration (three months or longer) and information of short duration which consists of extensive text and/or graphics, supplementing the permanent information contained in the AIP, are published as AIP Supplements (AIP SUP). An AIP SUP is identified by the abbreviation here given and by the use of yellow paper.

An AIP SUP is kept in the AIP as long as all or some of its contents remain valid. The period of validity of the information contained in the AIP SUP will normally be given in the AIP SUP itself. Alternatively, NOTAM may be used to publish the period of validity, to publish changes to the period of validity or to cancel the SUP. AIP SUP are numbered in sequence, beginning each year with number 1. The year is the part of the number, e.g. AIP SUP 001/2008.

A checklist of valid AIP Supplements is issued through the monthly issued plain-language list of valid NOTAM.

3.5   Electronic AIP (eAIP) and amendment service to the eAIP

The eAIP Hungary is based on the EUROCONTROL eAIP Specification and the ICAO AIP Specimen. For more details, please visit the EUROCONTROL eAIP Web site:

Amendments to the eAIP are made by issuing a replacement DVD. A new DVD is issued each time conventional amendments to the paper AIP are published. The amendment number and the effective and publication date are printed on the DVD. Each DVD contains the complete AIP, regular or AIRAC AMDT and SUP for the effective date, and all published AIC.

3.8   Check list and Summary of NOTAM

A List of valid NOTAM is issued monthly via AFTN. The list is followed up by a printed Summary of NOTAM, distributed by mail or email to all recipients of the IAIP. It contains a plain-language presentation of the valid NOTAM and information about the number of the latest issued AIP AMDT, AIP AIRAC AMDT, AIP SUP and AIC.
