 The DoD FLIP sups are going away 1 Oct 
> 2006 (less than two months away) forever. 
> So we now have 60 days until the FLIPS are gone. 

Not quite true. Effective October 1, 2006, NGA will move DAFIF and FLIP information to 
the NGA NIPRNET/Extranet. To access the NGA NIPRNET/Extranet, you will need a 
PKI certificate and additional access privileges granted by NGA. 
I have an account with the FAA NACO.  The sales person faxed me a letter stating 
these pubs. will still be available in print form until October 2007.  I will post the letter to 
the list.  The digital download (DAFIF) will be gone October 2006.  You will need a PKI 
certificate to access the system.  Additionally this is from the DAFIF web site:
Discontinue Printing of the US Preferred Routes in Area Planning/1 (AP1-North and 
South America):  With Army, Air Force, and Navy approval, NGA will stop printing the 
US PREFERRED ROUTES in the Area Planning Book/1 (AP1-North and South 
America) with an effective date of 15 MAR 2007.
