Text NOTAM production rules

This section provides rules for the automated production of the text NOTAM message items, based on the AIXM 5.1.1 data encoding of the Event. Therefore, AIXM specific terms are used, such as names of features and properties, types of TimeSlices, etc:

...

Availability.usage

Corresponding Q codes

none specified

QMNLC

there exist associated ApronAreaUsage.type PERMIT or CONDITIONAL

QMNLT

Scope

Insert the value ‘A’.

Lower limit / Upper limit

Use “000/999”

Geographical reference

Insert the coordinate of the ARP (AHP.BL.ARP.ElevatedPoint) of the airport, formatted as follows:

...

Reference

Rule

(1)

If AHP.BL.locationIndicatorICAO=YES, then ignore this branch.

(2)

Insert here the type of the airport decoded as follows

AHP.BL.type

Text to be inserted in Item E

AD or AH

"AD"

HP

"Heliport"

LS or OTHER

"Landing site"

(3)

a. If AHP.BL.name is not NIL, then insert it here. Otherwise

b.insert here the text "located at" followed by the AHP.BL.ARP.ElevatedPoint decoded according to the text NOTAM production rules for aixm:Point.

(4)

If more than one apron has a TEMPDELTA associated with the Event, then insert the designator of each additional apron designator preceded by ",". Insert "and" before the last entry.

(5)

If there exists a APN.TD.availability.annotation having propertyName="operationalStatus" and purpose="REMARK", then translate it into free text according to the decoding rules for annotations.

(6)

If there exist one or more TD.availability.usage then decode them following this branch, in the following order of priorities:

  • TD.availability.usage that have operation="ALL"

  • TD.availability.usage that have type="PERMIT"

  • ... other situations ...

  • TD.availability.usage that have priorPermission which is not NIL shall be decoded last.

(7)

If TD.usage.priorPermission is not NIL, then insert here the decoding of the PPR information as detailed in the following diagram:

Code Block
titleEBNF Code
collapsetrue
template_PPR = "PPR " "TWY/TWE.TD.usage.priorPermission(7.1)" ["TWY/TWE.TD.usage.annotation(7.2)"].

Reference

Rule

(7.1)

Insert here the value of the priorPermission attribute followed by its unit of measurement decoded according to the {{text NOTAM production rules for duration}}

(7.2)

Decode here the annotation with propertyName="priorPermission" and purpose="REMARK", according to the decoding rules for annotations.

(8)
