Which document is not part of the Aeronautical Information Publication (AIP) package?

The Australian Aeronautical Information Publication (AIP) is a comprehensive document that provides essential aeronautical information for pilots and air traffic professionals. Within this publication, several specific documents serve different purposes.

The ERSA (Enroute Supplement Australia) is an essential component of the AIP, offering detailed information about airports, aerodromes, and procedures relevant to flight operations. The DAH (Designated Airspace Handbook) presents information on controlled airspace, including its classification and relevant regulations. The DAP (Documents for Air Navigation) includes various necessary documents that support air navigation.

In contrast, CAAP (Civil Aviation Advisory Publications) is not part of the AIP package. CAAPs are standalone publications issued by the Civil Aviation Safety Authority to provide guidance and supplementary information on specific aviation regulation topics or best practices. Therefore, recognizing that CAAPs serve a different function than the other components of the AIP clarifies why it does not belong to the AIP package.
