NOTAM “D”
–Meets Criteria set forth in FAA
NOTAM Manual 7930.2 for widest
dissemination throughout the NAS.
–Only issued by Flight Service
Stations except for Standard
Instrument Departure NOTAMS and
Standard Terminal Arrival NOTAMS
(SIDS) and (STARS).
•SIDS/STARS issued by U.S. NOTAM OFFICE (USNOF)

NOTAM “D”
–Flight Service Stations issue between 3001000 NOTAM “D”s per day.
•Weather causes an increase in the generation of
NOTAM D’s
–Example: !ENA 01/021 ENA 1L/19R 4 IN LSR
WEF 0501171315
–Decode: Kenai airport runway 1L/19R has 4 inches
loose snow on the runway reported on Jan 17, 2005
at 1315 UTC

NOTAM “D”
–Whoever issues the NOTAM “D”, is
responsible for cancelling it.
–If communication are down,
any Alaska FSS will ensure
that another FSS either issues
or cancels NOTAM information
for them.

NOTAM “D”
FFSS specialists will transmit a proposed
NOTAM “D” to the USNOF, and if properly
formatted, is numbered automatically by
the USNS computer.
FThe USNOF is charged with monitoring the
NOTAM database for compliance with the 7930.2
NOTAM manual.

FUSNOF also is responsible for dissemination,
formats and other aspects of the NOTAM
distribution system.
FOnce numbered, the NOTAM is immediately
distributed throughout the FAA communication
network, and sent back to the originating FSS for
accountability purposes.

ORIGINATORS OF MOVEMENT AREA
NOTAMs
• Airport management is responsible for
observing and reporting the condition of a
movement area. The automated/flight
service station (AFSS/FSS) air traffic
managers shall coordinate with appropriate
airport managers to obtain a list of airport
employees who are authorized to issue
NOTAMs.

WATER)
5. Time of observation

REPORTING OF
SNOW, ICE, SLUSH, AND WATER CONDITIONS
Measurement: The depth is always expressed in
terms of thin (less than 1/4 inch), 1/4 inch, 1/2
inch, and 1 inch. When 1 inch is reached,
additional reports should be in multiples of 1 inch
and the use of fractions discontinued. If a variable
amount is reported, such as 3 to 5 inches, show
the greater depth. When a snow depth of 35
inches is reached, additional reports should be in
multiples of feet only. If a report is halfway
between two reportable values, roundoff to the
next higher reportable value.

REPORTING OF
SNOW, ICE, SLUSH, AND WATER CONDITIONS
• Coverage: Do not express the condition in
terms of percentage of coverage. A surface
not completely covered should be
described as having patches of snow, ice,
etc.; e.g., PTCHY 1/2 IN SNW (surface). The
absence of a described surface indicates
the entire landing area.

REPORTING OF
SNOW, ICE, SLUSH, AND WATER CONDITIONS
• Time: Every snow NOTAM shall have the
time that the conditions were observed by
the airport operator as the last element of
the NOTAM. If no time was given, inquire as
to when the condition was observed. If still
unable to obtain a time, use the time when
the NOTAM information was given to the
flight service specialist.

Conditions
6. Drifting
or drifted snow.
DRFT is used to describe one or more drifts. When the drifts
are variable in depth, report the greater depth.
7. Plowed/swept.
PLW/swept are used when indicating that a portion of a surface
has been plowed or swept and is either bare or has depth,
coverage, and conditions different than the surrounding area.
When known, the surrounding area items will be specified as
RMNDR and listed after the plowed information. Plowed/swept
is omitted when the entire runway has been plowed.

- USNOF tracks and stores all FDC data
- In 2006, over 12,000 FDC NOTAMS were issued
- As the FAA coordination facility listed in the issued FDC
NOTAM, in Alaska the flight service station location is listed
along with their phone number. Lower 48 AFSS’s are not
FAA. (See FDC example)
- Any questions pertaining to the issued FDC would then
be expected to be answered by the coordination facility

–Issued by a FSS to highlight or point out another NOTAM, such as an FDC
or parachute NOTAM
–Assists the briefer in cross-referencing important briefing information due
to the amount of data to be briefed
–Used primarily for Presidential FDC NOTAMs

• Examine NOTAM D’s on web site carefully, or
call AFSS to verify NOTAMs.
• Inform AFSS of discrepancies. We rely on
your input.
• Pilots rely on timeliness and the accuracy of
the NOTAMs.

How can I make a change to the information about
my airport in the Airport/Facility Directory?
• All airport owners/managers are encouraged to frequently
update information about their airport.
• Airport/Facility Directory data every 56 days.
Cut-off date for information to make the next publication is on
the inside of the front cover.
• If you are the airport owner/manager and need to add, delete or
modify your airport information, contact the local Flight Service
Station or Aeronautical Information Services, ATA-100, at 1-866-2958236.
• The FAA Specialist will verify your airport information and publish
a change in the National Flight Data Digest. The new or revised data
will generate a change to the Airport/Facility Directory.

Go to http://www.faa.gov/ and select Airports & Air Traffic
select Air Traffic Publications for the FAAO 7930.2K
or select Airport Advisory Circulars for AC 150/5200-28C
• Be as clear and concise so there are no
misunderstandings during the encoding of the NOTAM.
• Users that access the NOTAM system expect to
see standard formatting.
