Template:FAA-procedures/doc
| This is a documentation subpage for Template:FAA-procedures. It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
This template is used to generate an external link to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) terminal procedures for a specific airport. These URLs change every 28 days, so by using a template they can be updated in one place rather than editing multiple articles.
Parameters
The template accepts a single unnamed parameter containing the airport's FAA location identifier.
Example
For Blairstown Airport (1N7):
- Usage:
{{FAA-procedures|1N7}} - Result: FAA Terminal Procedures for 1N7, effective Error: Invalid time.
Technical information
The terminal procedures 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/Airport Diagram, this causes a change in the URL involving four numbers: the first two represent the year (07 for 2007) and the second two represent the current cycle (01 through 13). This template should be updated before the effective date for each new cycle. The following is a list of changes required in 2008:
- 0801 - Effective 17 JAN 2008 to 14 FEB 2008
- 0802 - Effective 14 FEB 2008 to 13 MAR 2008
- 0803 - Effective 13 MAR 2008 to 10 APR 2008
- 0804 - Effective 10 APR 2008 to 08 MAY 2008
- 0805 - Effective 08 MAY 2008 to 05 JUN 2008
- 0806 - Effective 05 JUN 2008 to 03 JUL 2008
- 0807 - Effective 03 JUL 2008 to 31 JUL 2008
- 0808 - Effective 31 JUL 2008 to 28 AUG 2008
- 0809 - Effective 28 AUG 2008 to 25 SEP 2008
- 0810 - Effective 25 SEP 2008 to 23 OCT 2008
