Chapter 1. Introduction

This manual is complementing the eAIP Specification by providing detailed instructions for eAIP system developers and implementers in several technical areas.

Many parts of this manual refer to the "MakeAIP" provided by EUROCONTROL. However, the MakeAIP tool provided by EUROCONTROL shall be considered as a proof of concept only. No effort was spent on fine-tuning the tool for better performance. There was no formal validation (software audit) of the HTML and PDF output, to prove that it corresponds at 100% to the content of the XML files. The tool should be revisited, improved and validated before being used in a production environment.
