2025-06-13: Sunset of Hard Copy Enterprise

NGA released the 1501 notification regarding sunsetting its hardcopy print enterprise. This includes all FLIP paper products, FLIP DVDs, E-IPL DVDs, and the Aero App DVD.

Customers can provide feedback with the following information, preferably staffed to the highest level possible in their chain-of-command, including:

Detailed justification, including anticipated mission impacts, why electronic-only access to FLIP (including tablet-based Electronic Flight Bags/Electronic Knee Boards) would be insufficient;
Projected timeline for continued hardcopy requirements;
Specific products still required in hardcopy format;
Proposed mitigations that could facilitate transition from hardcopy to electronic FLIP
