Technical information

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 26 May 2025) to calculate the effective date. The following is a list for the current and upcoming AIRAC cycles:

  • 2025-05-15 — effective 15 May 2025 (AIRAC cycle 2506)
  • 2025-06-12 — effective 12 Jun 2025 (AIRAC cycle 2507)
  • 2025-07-10 — effective 10 Jul 2025 (AIRAC cycle 2508)
  • 2025-08-07 — effective 07 Aug 2025 (AIRAC cycle 2509)
  • 2025-09-04 — effective 04 Sep 2025 (AIRAC cycle 2510)
  • 2025-10-02 — effective 02 Oct 2025 (AIRAC cycle 2511)
  • 2025-10-30 — effective 30 Oct 2025 (AIRAC cycle 2512)
  • 2025-11-27 — effective 27 Nov 2025 (AIRAC cycle 2513)
  • 2025-12-25 — effective 25 Dec 2025 (AIRAC cycle 2601)

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.
