Template:AIP AU/doc

This template is used to generate an external link to the AIP "En Route Supplement - Australia" (ERSA) for a specific airport. The ERSA facilities (FAC) section contains full details for all licensed aerodromes and limited details for many unlicensed airfields. It is updated four times a year and the URL changes each time, so using a template allows it to be updated in one place rather than editing multiple articles.

Technical information
The "En Route Supplement - Australia" (ERSA) is updated four times per year with releases corresponding with AIRAC cycles 03, 06, 09 and 12 (usually in March, June, August and November). This causes a change in the URL which includes the new effective date in the form, such as   for 2023-09-07 (note use of leading zero for day of month). This template should be updated before the effective date for each new cycle. The following is the list of changes required in 2023 and 2024.
