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 one or two unnamed parameters:

  1. (required) the airport's FAA location identifier
  2. (optional) text to replace FAA identifier in displayed link

Examples

For Blairstown Airport (1N7):

Example using one parameter:

Examples using both parameters:

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 Publication, 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 should be updated before the effective date for each new cycle. The following is a list of changes required for 2012.

AIRAC effective dates for 2012:

  • 1201 – effective 12 JAN 2012 to 09 FEB 2012
  • 1202 – effective 09 FEB 2012 to 08 MAR 2012
  • 1203 – effective 08 MAR 2012 to 05 APR 2012
  • 1204 – effective 05 APR 2012 to 03 MAY 2012
  • 1205 – effective 03 MAY 2012 to 31 MAY 2012
  • 1206 – effective 31 MAY 2012 to 28 JUN 2012
  • 1207 – effective 28 JUN 2012 to 26 JUL 2012
  • 1208 – effective 26 JUL 2012 to 23 AUG 2012
  • 1209 – effective 23 AUG 2012 to 20 SEP 2012
  • 1210 – effective 20 SEP 2012 to 18 OCT 2012
