Technical information

[edit]

The airport diagrams are part of the Aeronautical Information Publication (AIP) which is updated on a 28-day cycle as per the ICAO. For the FAA's digital - Terminal Procedures Publication/Airport Diagrams, this causes a change in the URL involving four numbers: the first two represent the year (09 for 2009, 10 for 2010) and the second two represent the current AIRAC cycle (01 through 13). This template uses the current date (presently 26 Nov 2024) to calculate the effective date and the matching four-digit cycle number. The following is a list of the current and upcoming cycle numbers and effective dates:

  • 2411 – effective 31 OCT 2024 to 28 NOV 2024
  • 2412 – effective 28 NOV 2024 to 26 DEC 2024
  • 2500 – effective 26 DEC 2024 to 23 JAN 2025
  • 2501 – effective 23 JAN 2025 to 20 FEB 2025
