The AIP is published in four loose-leaf volumes:
- Volume
1 [Planning] contains all of
the General, Enroute and Aerodrome
parts including details of International Aerodromes.
- Volumes
2 & 3 [Instrument Flight Rules] are issued as a set and
contain the information from the General and Enroute parts that
is relevant to IFR operations. They contain details of
all New Zealand aerodromes and heliports for which instrument
procedures are published. Subscribers to these volumes also receive
the Enroute and Area charts.
- Volume
4 [Visual Flight Rules] contains the information from the
General and Enroute parts that is relevant to VFR operations.
Aerodrome charts and associated VFR procedures are included.
AIP supplements are normally issued as a stapled booklet
which is reissued every 28 days. Some Supplements, that concern
one subject and will be in effect for a lengthy period, are issued
as stand alone booklets. (Details of these are included in the regular
supplement).
AIC are issued as a stapled booklet, normally containing
all valid AIC. Subscribers to the AIP amendment service receive
AIC as part of their subscription. AIC are issued as required. (as
a minimum once a year)
Enroute and Area charts are normally updated and published
twice a year. Subscribers to Volumes 2 & 3 of the AIP receive
these charts as part of their amendment service.
Visual Navigation and Planning charts are reviewed annually
and updated and reissued as required. Reissue will depend on the
nature and number of changes that have occurred. Due to the unpredictability
of changes an amendment service is not currently available and it
is not always possible to predict when an individual chart will
be reissued.
