For several years now, DFS has made the current version of the Aeronautical Information Publication (AIP) available free of charge via its aeronautical information services portal at www.dfs-ais.de. The German Aeronautical Publication Agency, as publisher of the AIP, will also be making the supplementary volume AIP VFR available in a free version on the AIS-Portal from January 2023.
This will provide all airspace users, whether they are flying IFR or VFR, with easy and free access to the AIP. The two Aeronautical Information Publications (AIP IFR and AIP VFR) will continue to be distributed in the usual form via the online shop of the DFS subsidiary R. Eisenschmidt GmbH.
