The Aeronautical Information Service (AIS Poland) is a unit of the Polish Air Navigation Services Agency (PANSA) designated for the provision of aeronautical data and aeronautical information necessary for the safety, regularity and efficiency of air navigation within the Warszawa FIR. AIS Poland provides therefore aeronautical information products which comprise:
AIP Poland is prepared in accordance with the Standards and Recommended Practices (SARPs) set forth in Annex 15 to the Convention on International Civil Aviation – Aeronautical Information Services. This publication contains information on flight rules, airspace structure and aerodromes within the Warszawa FIR. Amendments to AIP Poland are published as required in accordance with the AIRAC cycle schedule.
AIP VFR contains information on rules and procedures applicable to VFR flights within the Warszawa FIR as set forth in the Regulation of the Ministry of Infrastructure on Aeronautical Information Services. Amendments and Supplements to the AIP VFR are published separately. All amendments and updates are published in accordance with the AIRAC cycle.
MIL AIP is published by PANSA in cooperation with the Military Air Traffic Service Office of the Polish Armed Forces. The Aeronautical Publications and Procedures Section of the Military Air Traffic Service Office of the Polish Armed Forces is responsible for collecting aeronautical data related to military aerodromes and providing them to PANSA. The MIL AIP contains general information on regulations and flight rules applicable to military aviation. Amendments and Supplements to the MIL AIP are published separately. All amendments and updates are published in accordance with the AIRAC cycle.
The airspace chart shows all airspace structures from GND to FL 660:
All heights/altitudes are provided in feet.
The Aeronautical Chart of Poland – ICAO is commonly known as the VFR Chart. The complete set consists of 6 separate laminated sheets (Gdańsk, Olsztyn, Poznań, Warsaw, Wrocław, Kraków). The chart contains aeronautical information from GND to FL 095. Colours of the chart have been extensively consulted with users of the Polish airspace. The views provided by users have been taken into account in the current edition. In addition, hypsometry instead of shading has been applied for illustration of topography which improved clarity of the chart.
The chart contains:
All heights/altitudes are provided in feet. The reverse side of each sheet has, among other elements, the chart key, AIRMET sectors, Morse code table, MRTs and altimeter setting regions. The chart is available on paper or laminated paper. It can also be purchased in the form of a wall chart on plain or photographic paper.
The AIM database contains all aeronautical data that are included in the AIS database and published in AIP Poland, AIP VFR Poland and MIL AIP Poland, including all spaces, obstacles, radio navigation aids as well as route and VFR points. The data is presented in the XML format compliant with AIXM 4.5 (optionally also available in AIXM 5.1 format).
AIS operations are not limited to products only. Days and months are spent on preparing the data to be exported cyclically (AIRAC) to systems used by ATC services (Pegasus_21, TRAFFIC, CAT).The service offers also quality (ADQ) and software handling (PLX) training courses for providers of data to aeronautical information products. The courses are conducted by a small group of highly experienced specialists. Finally, it means tremendous responsibility, for the safety of airspace users depends on the quality of the products and services – Magdalena Bańkowska, Head of the Aeronautical Information Management Unit, 20 years of experience at PANSA.

We firmly believe that the internet should be available and accessible to anyone, and are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of circumstance and ability.
To fulfill this, we aim to adhere as strictly as possible to the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at the AA level. These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people with a wide array of disabilities. Complying with those guidelines helps us ensure that the website is accessible to all people: blind people, people with motor impairments, visual impairment, cognitive disabilities, and more.
This website utilizes various technologies that are meant to make it as accessible as possible at all times. We utilize an accessibility interface that allows persons with specific disabilities to adjust the website’s UI (user interface) and design it to their personal needs.
Additionally, the website utilizes an AI-based application that runs in the background and optimizes its accessibility level constantly. This application remediates the website’s HTML, adapts Its functionality and behavior for screen-readers used by the blind users, and for keyboard functions used by individuals with motor impairments.
If you’ve found a malfunction or have ideas for improvement, we’ll be happy to hear from you. You can reach out to the website’s operators by using the following email
Our website implements the ARIA attributes (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) technique, alongside various different behavioral changes, to ensure blind users visiting with screen-readers are able to read, comprehend, and enjoy the website’s functions. As soon as a user with a screen-reader enters your site, they immediately receive a prompt to enter the Screen-Reader Profile so they can browse and operate your site effectively. Here’s how our website covers some of the most important screen-reader requirements, alongside console screenshots of code examples:
Screen-reader optimization: we run a background process that learns the website’s components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when updating the website. In this process, we provide screen-readers with meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide accurate form labels; descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs; element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups), and others. Additionally, the background process scans all of the website’s images and provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based description as an ALT (alternate text) tag for images that are not described. It will also extract texts that are embedded within the image, using an OCR (optical character recognition) technology. To turn on screen-reader adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn the Screen-reader mode on as soon as they enter the website.
These adjustments are compatible with all popular screen readers, including JAWS and NVDA.
Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the website’s HTML, and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key, navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill them in with the Spacebar or Enter key.Additionally, keyboard users will find quick-navigation and content-skip menus, available at any time by clicking Alt+1, or as the first elements of the site while navigating with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, and not allow the focus drift outside of it.
Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.
We aim to support the widest array of browsers and assistive technologies as possible, so our users can choose the best fitting tools for them, with as few limitations as possible. Therefore, we have worked very hard to be able to support all major systems that comprise over 95% of the user market share including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera and Microsoft Edge, JAWS and NVDA (screen readers), both for Windows and for MAC users.
Despite our very best efforts to allow anybody to adjust the website to their needs, there may still be pages or sections that are not fully accessible, are in the process of becoming accessible, or are lacking an adequate technological solution to make them accessible. Still, we are continually improving our accessibility, adding, updating and improving its options and features, and developing and adopting new technologies. All this is meant to reach the optimal level of accessibility, following technological advancements. For any assistance, please reach out to
