Subscriptions

New Subscriptions

When ordering new subscription products, be sure to read the information above the Subscribe button carefully. You will not be able to begin your subscription with the current edition.

You can purchase one-time orders of these products until your subscription begins. After placing your first online subscription order, you will receive a Welcome new subscriber letter via e-mail shortly after the subscription order has been paid.

Note: Existing subscribers who attempt to subscribe to a product to which they already have an active subscription will be reminded of their existing subscription on the “Pay For Your Order” page, during the checkout process. Checkout can proceed by selecting the Continue button, but they will then have two subscriptions for the same product.

Renewing Subscriptions

To renew a subscription, click on View and Renew Subscriptions from the Account Options menu. When renewing subscriptions, please note the following:

Subscriptions for the Coded Instrument Flight Procedures (CIFP)

If you enter or renew a subscription to the CIFP, you must print, read, complete and return the online CIFP agreement before your subscription can be activated, even if you have already paid for it. Failure to return the completed agreement in a timely manner may result in the cancellation of your subscription and a refund of your remittance.

View Contact/Address Information

“View Contact/Address Information” is the default view-only feature for users who are not administrators on their account and who are not authorized to change addresses on their account. Such users cannot make changes to addresses through this website and should contact their account administrator in order to update contact information.

This page displays the following information: User ID, Account Name, Customer #, Location Name, Location Type, Allow Shipping to this Address (Yes or No), Address (Street, City, State, Zip, and Country), U.S. Post Office Box (Yes or No), Phone Number, Fax Number, World Wide Web [address], and Email Address.

The default address is the account's Bill To address. To choose an address, click on the identifier and the address assigned to the identifier will be displayed along with the type of location.

In addition, if either the account’s Bill To or Catalog address is displayed, the system will indicate whether the account provides a subscription service to the general public. If the account does provide a subscription service, the phrase “Offers Public Subscription Service” will be displayed under the location type.

Update Contact/Address Information

Administrators and those who are authorized to make account changes will see the editable “Update Contact/Address Information” page instead of the “View Contact/Address Information” page.

This page displays the following information: User ID, Business/Org. Name, Customer #, Location Name, Location Type, Address (Street, City, State, Zip, and Country), U.S. Post Office Box (Yes or No), Phone Number, Fax Number, and Email Address (and Re-Enter Email Address).

Adding a User and/or Making another User an Administrator

Follow the instructions under the page header for adding a user, and/or making another user an administrator. If you wish to have all of the new user’s orders shipped to a specific shipping address that is on the account, click on the downward pointing arrow in the Default Shipping Location box, and select the desired shipping location. The user will still have the option of selecting a different shipping location when placing an order. If none is selected, the new user’s orders will be shipped to the first shipping address created when the account was established. If the new user is to have the right to add additional users, check the Admin Rights box. If the new user should not have this right, leave the Admin Rights box blank. When finished, click the Save button. Click the Close button to be returned to the Account Options page.

Editing a User

If you wish to make changes to a user’s profile, click on the user ID of the user. You will be taken to a page with the heading Edit User User ID. When finished, click the Save button. Click the Close button to be returned to the Account Options page.

Deleting a User

If you wish to delete a user, click on the user ID of the user. You will be taken to a page with the heading Edit User User ID. If you wish to delete the user, click the Delete button. The message “Hit ‘Confirm Delete’ to confirm that you want to delete this user” will appear at the top of the page. Click Confirm Delete. You will be returned to the List of Users for Your FAA Account, where that user’s name will no longer appear.

Note: Once deleted, the system will not allow the same user ID to be used again.

View Orders and Track Shipments

Click this option to view and track orders that you have placed in the last year (paid and unpaid).

These orders have been submitted to the FAA AeroNav Products Logistics Group for order fulfillment. You can click on the order number to view the charts that have been ordered, but no modifications can be made through the website at this point.

Note: All unpaid orders will be deleted in three business days.

If you have placed orders by telephone, fax, mail, or e-mail, and these orders have not yet been paid, you will see the open orders, but you will not be able to pay or alter them in any way. These orders can only be altered by FAA AeroNav Products Logistics Group personnel.

To track Federal Express shipments, find the order number in question and click on the Track button for that order. This will display the number of packages associated with the order and the tracking number that was assigned to each package. Click on the tracking number for whichever package you are tracking. A new page will appear from the Federal Express tracking website that displays all of the tracking information for that package. Closing the tracking window will return you directly to the Order Number Shipment Detail page. United States Postal Service (USPS) orders cannot be tracked at this time.

I ordered a CIFP subscription, why haven't I received it yet?

Due to the nature of this product, a signature agreement is required. Please print, read and complete the agreement. Failure to return the completed agreement in a timely manner will result in the cancellation of your CIFP subscription and a refund of your remittance.

The shipping information on the agreement including e-mail address, must be an exact match to your online account. The CIFP is updated every 28 days and is distributed to customers via CD-ROM and on-line download. Once we receive your signed agreement, your subscription will be activated and you will be able to download the active edition of the DCIFP (the download version of the CIFP). As with other new subscription products, depending on when your subscription is activated, you may not receive the current edition of the CD-ROM, but the following one instead. Nevertheless, you will still be able to download the current edition.

Why am I having problems paying my order after clicking "Pay Now"?

When you click Pay Now you will be entering the US Treasury Department Pay.Gov System where credit card payments are made. We have no control over any problems with Pay.Gov. There are times when the system is down and it is best to just try again later. However, if you continue to have problems, contact the FAA AeroNav Products Logistics Group during normal business hours.

Your browser must be refreshed in order to see the address change. If the address change does not display, even after the browser has been refreshed, please contact the FAA AeroNav Products Logistics Group again during normal business hours.

When can I expect to receive my orders I placed for future editions?

If you have a choice of purchasing either the current edition or the new edition of that product on a one-time basis, the new edition may be backordered.
