DIGITAL NOTAM TRANSITION
Moving Forward!
NOTAM MODERNIZATION
AIM Segment 1 Program
• Policy Alignment with the International
Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO)
• Working on new NOTAM manual to
coincide with International policies and
goals.
• Modernization of Automation for
NOTAM Entry and Distribution.
• Streamline domestic NOTAM entry by
working directly with airport operators.
Modernization Tracks
• Improve the quality of NOTAMs
• Provide meaningful information
• Enhance NOTAM interpretation
• Graphical depiction necessary
• Improve reliability and accessibility
• Digital data exchange will enhance filtering and
sorting
• Conform to ICAO standards
• Provide a single source for all NOTAMs
• One collection and distribution point for all information
• Consolidate inefficient legacy systems for improved
customer service
• Balance diverse customer needs
• Airlines, ATC, General Aviation, International, Military
Current NOTAM Status
• Digital NOTAM Entry live test now underway
• Working on future Direct Entry of NOTAMs by airports,
bypassing flight service
• Development underway for ICAO formatted NOTAMs
• Airports being utilized are:
• FAI, DEN, ACY, FWA, ORF, RIC, DCA, MDW, MEM, IAD, BWI,
ORD
• Direct entry by the originator will improve speed and
accuracy of NOTAM publication
• Digital NOTAM Entry can output the NOTAM in U.S.
domestic NOTAM format, ICAO format, and plain
language format
NOTAM Keywords (Current)
Effective November 2010
• All (D) NOTAM shall be prefaced with a keyword:

Other Aeronautical Information
• NOTE: These new additions are not put in by airport personnel
except for possibly (O).
Upcoming Changes to NOTAM Input
(November 2010)
• All these changes reflect a transition toward
compliance with Annex 15 of the International Civil
Aviation Organization and FAA’s new policies and
procedures to meet these goals.
• Start and End Times must be used in a NOTAM.
• A 10-digit-date-time group must be used to indicate the
effective time and expiration time of the NOTAM.
• Effective time and expiration time must be separated by
hyphen (-).
• 10 digits = year, month, day, hour and minute.
• If duration is uncertain, approximate expiration time must
be indicated by using date-time group followed by “EST”.
• Once used this NOTAM must be cancelled or replaced before
the expiration time specified in the NOTAM.
Examples of NOTAM Changes
• Time: !ABC ABC RWY 9/27 CLSD 1011011100-1011011400
• Notice what is missing….WEF before the start time.
• TIME: !ABC ABC AD CLSD 1012250001-1012252359EST
• Notice the EST now in use, only underlined for demo purpose.
• TIME: Start times will either be put in by the operator or a box
can be clicked that puts the start time in upon activation.
• These are all drop down menus on a template supplied to the airport from
the FAA or a third party vendor. Web based applications.
• Keyword: RAMP will no longer be used, to be included under
the keyword APRON.
• !DSM DSM APRON SOUTH CARGO RAMP CLSD 1011171410-1011172000
Digital Goal
• Sort - Order the data
• Filter - Geographic, temporal, or logical
extract
• Transpose – Convert data to graphic
• Alert - Evaluate the data and take
action
• Fuse – Ability to merge multiple
datasets
Quality Assurance
• Direct entry would bypass current procedure of
going through flight service
• Eliminates third party errors
• Improves the quality of the NOTAM for safety
purposes
• Shortens the time it takes to put out a NOTAM for
all stakeholders
• Originating at the source improves data integrity,
traceability and is encoded digitally
• Validation is to strict business rules
• Eliminates incorrect runway numbering and other
human typo errors (NASR database tie-in)

Summary of Changes
• Reclassified civil Local NOTAMs
– All current local NOTAMs reclassified as D NOTAMs
– January 28, 2008
• Created keywords for all D NOTAMs for improved
sorting and parsing
• Created central repository for all NOTAMs
• Standardized NOTAM policy with ICAO Community
• Preparation for full ICAO format
• Elimination of certain time contractions
• Digital database
Changes are coming…
• Direct Entry of NOTAMs
• By-passing flight service
• Near real time availability of information
• ICAO Formatted NOTAMS
• One stop shopping for Aeronautical Information
• More keywords
• Digital Database
• Graphical Products
• Seamless transition
• User Friendly
Conclusions
• The Airport Operator is the key player in the
issuance of NOTAMs
• Knows the subject matter/information
• Responsible for this data to get out in a safe, timely manner
and as close to real time as possible
• This information needs to be concise, yet understandable
• Data needs to be accurate according to the airfield master
database
• Runway numbers, taxiway labeling, other identifying features
• If this first link, in the chain of events that leads to
a NOTAM being issued, is flawed then…
• Safety is compromised
• A potential accident can be lurking
Conclusions
• Safety Improvements for NOTAMs…
• Improved NOTAM training on site with new employees
• Constant review of FAA NOTAM Orders, including FAA
Airport Advisory Circulars
• Better communication at all levels when a NOTAM is being
issued
• Monitoring of what aeronautical information/NOTAMs are
being issued to the public
• Checking web sites
• Pilotweb
• FAA Beta test site for FNS
• Third party sites
• E-NOTAM system
• Phone calls
• These can be done now, but in the near future……
