Technical information

The FAA's digital - Terminal Procedures Publication (d-TPP) documents are part of the Aeronautical Information Publication (AIP) which is updated on a 28-day cycle as per the ICAO. 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 uses the current date (presently 31 Jul 2023) to calculate the effective date and the matching four-digit cycle number. The following is a list of the current and upcoming cycle numbers and effective dates:

  • 2308 – effective ERROR: INVALID TIME. to ERROR: INVALID TIME.
  • 2309 – effective ERROR: INVALID TIME. to ERROR: INVALID TIME.
  • 2310 – effective ERROR: INVALID TIME. to ERROR: INVALID TIME.
  • 2311 – effective ERROR: INVALID TIME. to ERROR: INVALID TIME.
  • 2312 – effective ERROR: INVALID TIME. to ERROR: INVALID TIME.
  • 2313 – effective ERROR: INVALID TIME. to ERROR: INVALID TIME.
  • 2401 – effective ERROR: INVALID TIME. to ERROR: INVALID TIME.
  • 2402 – effective ERROR: INVALID TIME. to ERROR: INVALID TIME.
  • 2403 – effective ERROR: INVALID TIME. to ERROR: INVALID TIME.
