Aeronautical Information Service

Aeronautical Information Service

Aeronautical Information Service also known as AIS, is an important support role to the Convention onInternational Civil Aviation as defined by Annex 15 of the International Civil Aviation Organization, ICAO.

The purpose of the Aeronautical Information Service is to ensure the flow of informationnecessary for the safety, regularity and efficiency of international air navigation.

ICAO Annex 15

Annex 15 defines how an Aeronautical Information Service shall receive and/or originate, collate or assemble, edit,format, publish/store and distribute specified aeronautical information/data. The goal is to satisfy the need for uniformity and consistency in the provision of aeronautical information/data that is required for operational use by international civil aviation.

The ICAO Council first adopted the original Standards and Recommended Practices in 1953. Annex 15 has its originsin Article 37 of the Chicago Convention. The first requirements for the Annex were developed by the ICAO AirNavigation Committee (now the Air Navigation Commission) in 1947.

Information Provided

Annex 15 specifies that aeronautical information be published as an integrated Aeronautical Information Package.

It is composed of the following elements: the Aeronautical Information Publication (AIP), including amendment service, AIP supplements, NOTAM, Pre-Flight Information Bulletins (PIB), Aeronautical Information Circulars (AIC), checklists and lists of valid NOTAM. Each element is used to distribute specific types of aeronautical information.
