INTRODUCTION

 The Aeronautical Information Service (AIS) is responsible for the collection and dissemination of aeronautical information in the Banjul Control Zone (CTR).

Aeronautical information is provided in the Aeronautical Information Publication (AIP) Gambia and its updates/ amendments. AIP Gambia is the basic aeronautical information document which contains permanent information essential to air navigation within the Banjul control zone. It is made up of three parts, namely General (GEN), En-route (ENR) and Aerodromes (AD). 

AIP Gambia is updated by a regular amendment service of reprinted pages issued once every two months. AIP Supplements (AIP SUP) publishes temporary changes of long duration (three months and longer) and information of short duration which contains extensive text and /or graphics, supplementing the permanent information contained in AIP Gambia.

Aeronautical Information Circular (AIC) contains explanatory or advisory information concerning technical, legislative or administrative matters and on the long-term forecast of major change in legislation, regulations, procedures or facilities liable to affect flight safety. 

NOTAM List is a plain language presentation of all current NOTAMs listed in the NOTAM checklist issued monthly and transmitted via the Aeronautical Fixed Services (AFS). It also contains the checklist of current AIP SUPs and reference numbers of the latest Gambia AIP Amendments, AIP SUP, and AIC issued.
