Title: NOTAM REALIGNMENT


1
NOTAM REALIGNMENT
  • Overview and Progress

2
Overall Goals
  • 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
  • Provide a single source for all NOTAMs
  • One collection and distribution point for all
    information
  • Consolidate inefficient legacy systems for
    improved customer service
  • Conform to ICAO standards
  • Balance diverse customer needs
  • Airlines, ATC, General Aviation, International,
    Military
  • Complete Digital Capture and Delivery
  • Enable automated fusion of published and dynamic
    (NOTAM) data

3
Modernization Roadmap
4
Initial Policy Change
  • Expanded definition of a Distant (D) NOTAM
  • Adopted ICAO definition for aerodrome movement
    area
  • Includes taxiways, ramps, aprons, lighting
  • All D NOTAMs will be prefaced with a keyword
  • Labeled unverified reports of hazards
  • Information that meets NOTAM criteria but is
    unverified will be tagged with (U) and
    disseminated as D NOTAM
  • Applicable only where letters of agreement exist
  • Labeled other information that doesnt meet ICAO
    criteria
  • Other information that may impact aircraft
    operations will be tagged with (O) and
    disseminated as D NOTAM

5
Effects of policy change
  • Reclassified civil Local NOTAMs
  • All current local civil NOTAMs become D NOTAMs
  • Became effective January 2008
  • Created keywords for all D NOTAMs for improved
    sorting and parsing
  • AD AIRSPACE APRON COM
  • NAV OBST (O) RAMP
  • RWY SVC TWY (U)
  • Enabled central distribution for all NOTAMs
  • Standardized NOTAM policy and QA

  • Eliminate free form text
  • Pre-populated data entry screens
  • Direct submission to USNS without manual

Single Federal System
  • Development underway for a federal system
    consolidation
  • Joint development to compress Civil and Military
    systems and database into a single baseline
  • Extend system capabilities
  • ICAO Standardization
  • Goal Single Federal system with full ICAO
    implementation by Late 2009
  • Multiple Views of shared data
  • Based on a Common International Model

Airports Conference
Submitting Airport Data Changes to FAA Future
Advisory Circular
Presented by Gary Bobik, FAA April 6-8,
2008 Tulsa, Oklahoma

Background of Airports AC
  • Problem Description
  • Airport operators may be unaware of the need to
    reportairport data changes to FAA in a
    consistent andtimely manner
  • Airport data is published in navigation
    charts, databases and flight information
    publications
  • Changes to certain airport data elements
    directly impact instrument approach and
    departure procedures, affecting the safety,
    utilization and efficiency of the airport

30
Background of Airports AC
  • Solution
  • Airports Division and Air Traffic Organization
    workingtogether to release guidelines on how to
    submit airport data changes to FAA
  • These guidelines will be contained in an
    Airports Advisory Circular (AC)
  • Anticipated release date for AC is July 2008

31
Purpose of Airports AC
  • AC provides guidance on what, when and how to
    submit airport data changes to the Federal
    Aviation Administration (FAA)

32
Who the AC affects
  • Assists operators of all airports listed in
    the Airport/Facility Directory (A/FD),
    Supplement Alaska, and Pacific Supplement in
    keeping their data up to date
  • Compliance with the guidelines is highly
    recommended for operators of all public use
    airports
  • Airport Improvement Program (AIP)
  • Passenger Facility Charge (PFC) funds
  • Operators of private use airports should
    follow guidelines

33
When to report data changes
  • If a change has taken place, FAA needs to know
    about it
  • Some data elements on or about the airport may
    require coordination with Regional or Airports
    District Office (ADO) and/or RAPT (Regional
    Airspace Procedures Team) prior to change
  • AC will give guidelines on how/what to
    coordinate

Immediately!!!

How to report data changes now

36
How to report data changes soon
When AC is released http//airports-gis.faa.gov
  • FAA Airports Geographic Information System
    (GIS) is the primary entry point for
    requesting changes to airport data
  • Airports GIS is designed
  • as the foundation for airport data within FAA
  • to interface with other FAA systems and
    processes to affect changes in those systems
    or initiate airspace studies as required
  • AC will give guidelines on how/when to use
    Airports GIS

Airfield Conditions Reporting
  • What is the requirement?
  • Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Title 14
    Aeronautics and Space, Federal Aviation
    Administration, Department of Transportation
  • 14 CFR Part 139, Section 339, Airport condition
    reporting
  • This section addresses the collection and
    dissemination of airport condition reporting to
    air carriers
  • To comply with this section, the CFR states that
    the NOTAM system is to be used as appropriate,
    along with other systems and procedures.
  • Indicates what information or airport conditions
    are to be reported or affect the safe operations
    of air carriers.
  • Who is responsible?
  • The airport operators are responsible for
    informing all applicable stakeholders
  • What methods are being used to disseminate this
    information?
  • United States NOTAM System (USNS)
  • Airport Web pages
  • Auto updates
  • Electronic direct distribution to airport
    stakeholders
