In 2016, the FAA issued Charting Notice CS 16-02 CN stating that the “Green Book” formerly referred to as the Airport/Facility Directory (A/FD) would be renamed the “Chart Supplement.” However, the notice added that the front section containing individual airport information would still be referred to as the “A/FD.”
As a result, ForeFlight has retained the term “A/FD” for the individual airport page that users find on the Airports view Info tab.
Additionally, while ForeFlight renamed the entire publication (found on the Documents view FAA drive), we left the abbreviation “AFD” at the end of the filename due to its longstanding familiarity to pilots. The file is now called “Chart Supplement (AFD).”
