Technical information change

The AIP is updated on a 28-day cycle as per the ICAO. For the online version of the French AIPs this causes a change in the URL involving the AIRAC effective date formatted as YYYY-MM-DD. This template uses the current date (presently 29 Mar 2024) to calculate the effective date. The following is a list for the current and upcoming AIRAC cycles:

  • 2024-03-21 — effective 21 Mar 2024 (AIRAC cycle 2404)
  • 2024-04-18 — effective 18 Apr 2024 (AIRAC cycle 2405)
  • 2024-05-16 — effective 16 May 2024 (AIRAC cycle 2406)
  • 2024-06-13 — effective 13 Jun 2024 (AIRAC cycle 2407)
  • 2024-07-11 — effective 11 Jul 2024 (AIRAC cycle 2408)
  • 2024-08-08 — effective 08 Aug 2024 (AIRAC cycle 2409)
  • 2024-09-05 — effective 05 Sep 2024 (AIRAC cycle 2410)
  • 2024-10-03 — effective 03 Oct 2024 (AIRAC cycle 2411)
  • 2024-10-31 — effective 31 Oct 2024 (AIRAC cycle 2412)

  • 2025-01-23 — effective 23 Jan 2025 (AIRAC cycle 2502)
  • 2025-02-20 — effective 20 Feb 2025 (AIRAC cycle 2503)

If this template stops working, the most likely reason is that the URL format has changed. To find the current format, go to the Aeronautical Information Publications page of the Service d'information aéronautique (SIA) website and view the AIP for an airport.
