Abstract
This document is the EUROCONTROL Specification, developed under the EUROCONTROL
Regulatory and Advisory Framework (ERAF), for the electronic Aeronautical Information
Publication (eAIP). The Specification is designed to enable the harmonised visualisation of
the contents of the AIP, which has to be provided by the national Aeronautical Information
Services (AIS) in accordance with the Convention on Civil Aviation, in electronic form. The
objective is to define a specification that could be associated with the interoperability
implementing rule on the quality of aeronautical data and information developed in
accordance with the interoperability Regulation in the framework of the Single European Sky
