About this eAIP

This eAIP of Armenia has been developed by AIS of ARMATS. Please visit also the EUROCONTROL eAIP Project Web site, where you will find more details about this project, part of the AIS AHEAD Programme.

System Requirements

Internet Explorer 5.5 or later with Adobe SVG Viewer 3.0 plug-in is recommended. Other browsers, such as Netscape 7, will generally work, but SVG graphics will not be as useable due to lack of support by Adobe.

Usage instructions

Menu: Click on the word "Menu" to open or close the eAIP menu, which floats at the top right corner of the browser window, on all eAIP pages.
Open Table of Contents (ToC): this command opens a small new browser window (the "ToC window"), from which you can "navigate" throughout the eAIP.
- Click on a "+" or "-" sign to show or hide a sub-level of section titles
- Click on a title to navigate to the relevant section in the eAIP window (this brings the eAIP window to the front)
- You can then switch from the eAIP window to the ToC window as both stay open (use alt-tab on Windows, for example)
Printable version (PDF) leads you directly to the PDF version of the section currently open in HTML, so that you can print it as intended for the paper AIP.
Show Amendments: toggles the display of Amendments; this menu item is ticked () when Amendments are displayed (see below for more information).
Help/About leads you to this page.

Amendments

When the "Show Amendments" menu item is ticked, the differences between the current version and the previous version of the open AIP section (the page currently open in the browser) are displayed. By "current version", we mean the AIP version which is open, and whose effective date is indicated in the window title. This is not necessarily the currently effective AIP.

How to read Amendments:

First make sure that "Show Amendments" is ticked
Inserted text blocks have their background in a light shade of pink or blue;
Deleted text blocks have their background in a darker shade of pink or blue and are struck-through;
Pink shades denote AIRAC Amendments, while blue shades mark non-AIRAC ones;
Note that there could very well be no change at all to the particular section your are reading, even if "Show Amendments" is ticked;
Put the mouse pointer over changed text and its effective date will be displayed.

The eAIP contains a lot of fictitious amendments, notably in GEN 0.1, GEN 1.1, GEN 2.4, GEN 3.1, ENR 3.1, ENR 3.2, ENR 3.3, ENR 4.1, ENR 4.3, ENR 6, AD 2 UDYZ, AD-2.UDSG.

SVG charts and graphics

The recommendation of the EUROCONTROL eAIP Project is for all eAIP graphics to be made available in Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) format. The SVG format offers perfect quality for display and printing, possibilities to zoom and pan, to search for text, etc. File sizes are typically smaller than for an equivalent graphic in raster format. In addition, it is possible to add "script functions" into the SVG file, which opens the way for an endless number of enhancements. For example, it is possible to show the differences between the current and the previous version of a chart.

How to use an SVG chart:

Note: we only describe how to use Adobe SVG Viewer 3.0, as it is the most common SVG viewer;
You need to install a "plugin" on your browser, for example the Adobe SVG Viewer (see Adobe's downloads page);
Zoom in: press the "Control" key and click with the left (normal) mouse button; alternatively, drag the mouse (i.e. press normal mouse button, move mouse and then release button) to define a zooming rectangle;
Pan: press the "Alt" key and drag the mouse
Additional, standard SVG commands are available on a right-mouse click menu (zoom in, zoom out, search text, etc.)
