In aviation, an Aeronautical Information Publication (or AIP) is defined by the International Civil Aviation Organization as a publication issued by or with the authority of a state and containing aeronautical information of a lasting character essential to air navigation. It is designed to be a manual containing thorough details of regulations, procedures and other information pertinent to flying aircraft in the particular country to which it relates. It is usually issued by or on behalf of the respective civil aviation administration.

==Overview==

The structure and contents of AIPs are standardized by international agreement through ICAO.  AIPs normally have three parts - GEN (general), ENR (en route) and AD (aerodromes). The document contains many charts; most of these are in the AD section where details and charts of all public [[aerodrome]]s are published.

Fuel calculation

Because of the large number of questions about the method of calculating fuel of the flights,
 I liked to share you this special educational calculates fuel lecture.

We can divide the fuel used for your flight into four sections, namely:
1 - Taxi Fuel (fuel used for taxi)

2 - Trip Fuel (fuel used for the flight on air).
3 - Reserves (fuel reserve).
4 - Extra (excess fuel).

* - Taxi fuel:
                   it is calculated fuel for the needs of the aircraft operating system, APU and taxiing to the runway. For example, Beoing737 fuel used for taxi operation is usually from 250 to 270 kg (taxi fuel information supplied by the Department of Operations)

* -  Trip Fuel:
                   it is the fuel using in your flight, starting with take-off, SID, Climbing, Cruising, Descending, approaching, star and landing. (We will explain later)
