Hi,
I am planning for collecting an aircraft crossing Germany. Being normally a residentail flyer, I searched for info (AIP) online. To my astonishment; no civil AIP online to be found! I took the liberty to mail them the following.
It is really unbelievable how customer unfriendly and safety degrading the german AIS service is by not publishing the civil AIP online. Yes, sure your contacts are very professional, friendly and service orientated, but in todays world where services have been established by public money, these services should be open to the public as well. Most of the european countries have done that.
Being a European citizen with Dutch nationality, having France as reidence, I think I am right in stating that German AIS should be ashamed of themself. More surprised even, I am about finding the military AIP published on the internet.
I have phoned your AIS-Centre (AIS-C)
Telephone +49 (0) 69 78072 500 and when I explained my point of view, I could be send the pages that I needed for free but not the entire AIP, also it was confirmed that it is not published on line.
Local and residential flyers have access to the info, also they are familliar with local situations, the visiting and transferring pilots especcially of foreign counties are not! Therefor publishing aviation information online does help in making aviation more safe.
I hope that this mail gets to the right place being followed up properly.
Anyone to support my oppinion?? please react to;

then select contact if you want to comment to the german AIS as well.
Thanks for additional oppinion and support, regards Frank
