Hi all
Does anyone know if it is possible to download the Aeronautical Information Package series as a whole.
I not looking to bypass copyright and I will buy the Air Services Hardcover Binder if required but $120 seems a bit steep especially if it already exists in a PDF format.
I have visited the Airservices website and they seem to provide the text for free ...BUT it can only be obtained by clicking on several thousand links. I'm assuming this is force people into buying the publication.
Thanks in advance

By the was the BT HUF book was excellent.
Hi Ian,
No you can't I'm afraid. It would be in direct contravention of their Terms of Use which are described in the Conditions of Use section of the Copyright Notice.
Undoubtedly there's some hack for mirroring their documents but why bother? You'll need the hardcopy versions for the exams and some form of copy available for real-life flying anyway. You'll probably have to bite the bullet at some stage. Another alternative is to borrow someone else's docs for the exam 🙂
Cheers,
Rich

Yet another document that you can add to the 'never ending list of things of documents and gizmo's' that need to be purchased to be a pilot 🙂 Albeit the AIP is probably the most interesting to read..
I know there's a lot of money in aviation because I put it there.
