2. AIP Version 48 Is Supplemented As Follows

UPDATE TO BAGHDAD PROHIBITED AREA, UPDATES TO DANGER AREAS (TETHERED BALLOONS), AND UPDATES TO TIKRIT/SPEICHER (ORSH) AND ERBIL (ORER) AIRFIELDS

1. Introduction. This supplement will correct minor errors found in the description of the Baghdad Prohibited Area (OR/P 201), and correct errors found in the Al Sahra/Tikrit (ORSH) and Erbil (ORER) airfield information. In addition, as part of the continued withdrawal of occupying military forces in Iraq, the ICAA updated several tethered balloon danger areas. These changes did not make the cutoff date for publication of the AIP version 48 which will become effective 16 December, 2010. These changes will be incorporated in the AIP version 49 effective 9 February, 2011.
