B-2 B.2 Definitions.
B.2.1 Airports and Navigation Aids Database System (AIRNAV).
AIRNAV is the working database that stores all of FAA’s data relating to airport and facility surveys and pertinent flight inspection reference data.
B.2.2 Instrument Flight Procedure (IFP).
IFP is a charted flight path defined by a series of navigation fixes, altitudes, and courses provided with lateral and vertical protection from obstacles from the beginning of the path to a termination point. IFPs can be DPs, Airways, STARs, and IAPs.
B.2.3 IFP Service Provider.
IFP Service Provider is an entity that provides IFP development services to the public.
