    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.
