¶ How to find charts into AIP?
An Aeronautical Information Publication (AIP) is issued by the authority of a State and containing aeronautical information of a lasting character essential to air navigation.
The AIP contains details of regulations, procedures and other information pertinent to the operation of aircraft in the particular country to which it relates. It is usually issued by or on behalf of the respective civil aviation administration and constitutes the basic information source for permanent information and long duration temporary changes.
¶ AIP structure
The structure and contents of the document are standardised by international agreement through ICAO. AIPs normally have three parts - GEN (general), ENR (en route) and AD (aerodromes). The documents contain many charts; most of these are in the AD section where details and charts of all public aerodromes are published.
⚠️Always good to remember that each country has a different AIP layout, but maintaining the same search pattern.
