Study Notes
Introduction
- Air traffic conditions, navigational aids, and air traffic control facilities constantly change.
- Scheduled changes are published in the Aeronautical Information System.
- Time-critical changes are announced via Notices to Air Missions (NOTAMs).
- This module explains how time-critical information regarding the National Airspace System (NAS) is received, processed, and disseminated.
Notices to Air Missions (NOTAMs)
- Purpose: To disseminate time-critical information regarding the NAS.
- Objectives:
- Identify methods of disseminating airmen's information
- Identify types of NOTAMs
- Describe the responsibilities for reporting different classifications of NOTAMs
Dissemination of Airmen's Information
- The system uses two subsystems:
- Aeronautical Information System (AIS): Consist of charts and publications.
- NOTAM system: This is a telecommunication system.
Aeronautical Charts
- Instrument Flight Rules (IFR):
- En Route High Altitude Charts
- En Route Low Altitude Charts
- Visual Flight Rules (VFR):
- Sectional Aeronautical Charts (SACs)
- Terminal Area Charts (TACs)
- U.S. Terminal Procedures Publication (TPP):
- Departure Procedures (DP)
- Standard Terminal Arrivals (STARs)
- Standard Instrument Approach Procedures (SIAPS)
Flight Information Publications
- Chart supplements
National Flight Data Center (NFDC)
- Located in Washington, D.C.
- Established by the FAA.
- Collects, validates, and disseminates aeronautical data.
- Supports government, industry, and the aviation community.
- Data is published on aeronautical charts or in relevant publications.
Airmen's Information Dissemination
- Aeronautical Charts
- Flight Information Publications in book form
NOTAMs
- A notice containing information concerning the establishment, condition, or change in a NAS component.
- Time-important information for flight operations
Responsibilities
- Air Traffic Personnel:
- Accept all airman information, as long as it's within three days in the future.
- Provide relevant data to the Flight Service Station (FSS).
- Technical Operations Services:
- Issues and cancels NOTAMs related to the shutdown/restoration of navigational aids.
- Report known or reported malfunctions of NAVAIDs.
- Handle routine and emergency maintenance shutdowns (with appropriate lead times).
- Airport Management:
- Observes and reports aerodrome condition.
- Coordinates with appropriate personnel regarding NOTAMs.
Authority
- United States NOTAM Office (USNOF) is the authority overseeing NOTAM formats and monitoring the NOTAM system.
NOTAM Types
- FICON NOTAMs-Report surface conditions of runways, taxiways, aprons and helipads.
- NOTAM-D: Contains information regarding aeronautical facilities, en-route aids, services, procedures, hazards, and civil public-use airports.
- Pointer NOTAM: Used to direct users to relevant information. A key aspect is that the keyword within the pointer NOTAM should match the keyword in the NOTAM being pointed towards.
- FDC NOTAMs: Information is usually regulatory in nature. This includes changes in IFR charts, procedures, airspace usage.
