Therefore, FLIP distribution is normally achieved through Automatic Distribution (AD) rather than through ordering.

However the urgent need and short interval between FLIP products makes constant ordering burdensome and timely receipt and use unlikely. FLIP Ordering ProceduresįLIP products are assigned National Stock Numbers (NSN) and can be ordered by MILSTRIP / FEDSTRIP. Standard for Terminal Instrument Procedures (TERPs), Airman's Information Manual, ICAO Documents and the Air Almanac. Some examples include Foreign Clearance Guides, Sectional Aeronautical Charts, VFR Terminal Area Charts, U.S. There are a number of FLIP-related products containing other important aeronautical information. Terminal products provide information on standardized routings, instrument approach procedures, and terrain data within a 50 nautical mile radius of selected airports. Products include Flight Information Handbooks, supplements, and low/high altitude sheets. These publications are designed to provide enroute information portraying high and low altitude airway systems with related navigational data and airports required to support radio navigation. Planning ProductsįLIP planning products include books intended primarily for use in pre-flight planning at base, squadron, and unit operations offices and low altitude, large scale wall charts showing radio aids to navigation, authorized airports, and other aeronautical data necessary for preliminary flight planning. Sufficient quantities of each product type are produced and printed to adequately supply all active subscription accounts and depot shelf stock. These items are produced in increments varying from 28 to 365 days.

There are three standard types of Flight Information Publications (Planning, Enroute and Terminal) that cover eight geographic areas throughout the world.
