3.1 The aeronautical information is provided in the form of the Integrated Aeronautical Information Package, consisting of the following elements.
• AIP, and its amendments; • AIP Supplements • NOTAM and PIB; • AIC (Aeronautical Information Circular); and • Checklists and Lists of Valid NOTAM
The elements of the set are distributed only via email (while the Costa Rican e-AIP comes into force) to active subscribers * (they will receive the information 05 business days before being published on the website: www.dgac.go.cr), as well as the States with which Costa Rica maintains information and aeronautical data exchange (RAC 15.035 d). In the case of GDP; if required in physical form, it is prepared in the AIM / ARO Offices upon request.
3.2 Aeronautical Information Publication (AIP)
The AIP is the basic aviation document intended primarily to satisfy international requirements for the exchange of permanent aeronautical information and long duration temporary changes essential for air navigation. The AIP is published in a single volume. It is published in digital format with Spanish text for use in international and national operations, whether it is a commercial or private flight.
3.3 Amendment Service to the AIP (AIP AMDT)
Amendments to the AIP are made by means of replacement sheets. Two types of AIP AMDT are produced:
- Regular AIP amendments (AIP AMDT), it is published with the necessary frequency (ref. GEN 0.1-3) and identified by a light blue coSee sheet, incorporates permanent changes into the AIP on the indicated publication date.
- AIRAC AIP Amendment (AIRAC AIP AMDT), issued in accordance with the AIRAC system and identified by a pink coSee sheet and the acronym AIRAC, incorporates operationally significant permanent changes into the AIP on the indicated AIRAC effective date.
- A brief description of the subjects affected by the amendment is provided on the AIP Amendment coSee sheet. New information included on the reprinted AIP pages is annotated or identified by a Seetical line in the left margin (or immediately to the left) of the change/addition.
- Each AIP page and each AIP replacement page introduced by an amendment, including the amendment coSee sheet, are dated. The date consists of the day, month (by name) and year of the publication date (AMDT) or the AIRAC effective date (AIRAC AMDT) of the information. Each AIP amendment coSee sheet includes references to the serial number of those elements, if any, of the Integrated Aeronautical Information package which have been incorporated in the AIP by the amendment and are consequently cancelled.
- Each AMDT and each AIRAC AMDT are allocated separate serial numbers which are consecutive and based on the civil year. The year, indicated by two digits, is part of the serial number of the amendment, e.g. AMDT 1/20; AIRAC AMDT 1/20.
- With each amendment, an AIP Pages Check List containing the date of each page is republished. The page number or title of the letter and the date of the checklist will appear in the list itself.

3.4 Supplement to the AIP (AIP SUP)
Temporary changes of long duration (three months and longer) and information of short duration which consists of extensive text and/or graphics, supplementing the permanent information contained in the AIP, are published as AIP SUPPLEMET (AIP SUP). Operationally significant temporary changes to the AIP are published in accordance with AIRAC system the established effective dates and are identified clearly by the acronym AIRAC AIP SUP.
AIP Supplements are separated by information subject (General-Gen), En-route-ENR and Aerodromes-AD) and are placed accordingly at the beginning of each AIP Part. Supplements are published on yellow paper to be conspicuous and to stand out from the rest of the AIP. Each AIP supplement (regular or AIRAC) is allocated a serial number which is consecutive and based on the civil year, i.e. AIP SUP 1/20; AIRAC AIP SUP 1/20.
An AIP Supplement is kept in the AIP as long as all or some of its contents remain valid. The period of validity of the information contained in the AIP Supplement will normally be provided in the supplement itself. Alternatively, NOTAM may be used to indicate changes to the period of validity or cancellation of the supplement.
All Supplements to the AIP are distributed via email both to active subscribers, as well as to the States with which it has an exchange. AIP Supplements are distributed in a series, as follows:
SERIES A: AIP SUPPLEMENT that contains information concerning facilities, services and procedures not only for international civil aviation but also for national operations. These supplements are distributed nationally and internationally.
3.5 NOTAM and Pre-flight information bulletin (PIB):
NOTAM contain information relating to the establishment, condition or change in any facility, service, procedure or aeronautical risk; the timely knowledge of which is essential to personnel concerned with flight operations.
The text of each NOTAM contains the information in the order listed in the NOTAM format ICAO and is composed of the significations / uniform abbreviated phraseology assigned to the NOTAM code ICAO, supplemented by abbreviations, indicators, identifiers, designators, call signs, frequencies, symbols and clear language of ICAO. Each NOTAM is assigned a serial number, which starts in each calendar year. NOTAMs are distributed in the following series:
SERIES A: NOTAM containing information on facilities, services and procedures relevant to the national and international civil aviation, which are given general international distribution.
SERIES C: NOTAM containing information of interest only to aircraft engaged in domestic civil aviation and national distribution only given.
SERIES I: for Instruction purposes. It will not be distributed to any user. HoweSee, in case of receiving this type of NOTAM, it should be considered Non-Operational.
Each month is sent to the recipients of the Integrated Aeronautical Information, a summary printed in plain language of NOTAMs. These abstracts are numbered consecutively based on the calendar year.
