Flight Information Publications (FLIP) Program

Flight Information Publications (FLIP) charts are sensitive flight critical mapping and charting type items produced by the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA), foreign governments and commercial vendors that are distributed by the Defense Distribution Mapping Activity (DDMA) and varied civilian contractors. They are available for most parts of the world, including Africa, Asia, and Antarctica. Each set of maps provide information needed for flying in foreign airspace.

There are three standard types of Flight Information Publications (Planning, Enroute and Terminal) that cover eight geographic areas throughout the world. These items are produced in increments varying from 28 to 365 days. Sufficient quantities of each product type are produced and printed to adequately supply all active subscription accounts and limited depot shelf stock.

FLIP stock numbers can be obtained via the NGA Reference Number/National Stock Number (NRN/NSN) Lookup.
