Reference

Rule

(1)

The name of the Navaid shall be included if present in the NAV.BL data

(2)

Insert the type from the Navaid baseline, according to the following decoding rule:

NAV.BL.type

Text to be inserted in item E

VOR

"VOR"

DME

"DME"

NDB

If (E)BL.class=N then use the word "LOCATOR", otherwise use the word "NDB"

TACAN

"TACAN"

MKR

If used as NavaidComponent of an ILS or ILS_DME Navaid, then insert (N)BL.markerPosition first followed by "MKR", otherwise insert just the word "MKR"

ILS

"ILS"

ILS_DME

"ILS"

MLS

"MLS"

MLS_DME

"MLS"

VORTAC

"VORTAC"

VOR_DME

"VOR/DME"

DNB_DME

"NDB/DME"

TLS

"Transponder Landing System"

LOC

"LOC"

LOC_DME

"LOC/DME"

NDB_MKR

"NDB/MKR"

DF

"DF service (question)"

SDF

"SDF eqpt"

OTHER

None

(3)

If the Navaid Baseline has several Navaid components and only one of its primary component NavaidEquipment has a NEQ.TD associated with the Event, then insert the type of that equipment, according to the following decoding rule:

NEQ.BL

Text to be inserted in Item E

DME

"DME part"

VOR

"VOR part"

TACAN

"TACAN part"

Glidepath

"GP part"

Localizer

"LOC part"

Azimuth

"azm signal"

Elevation

"elev signal"

SDF

"SDF eqpt"

DirectionFinder

"DF service (question)"

NDB

If (E)BL.class=N then use the word " LOCATOR", otherwise use the word "NDB"

MarkerBeacon

If used as NavaidComponent of an ILS or ILS_DME Navaid, then insert (N)BL.NavaidComponent.markerPosition first followed by "MKR", otherwise insert just the word "MKR"

(4)

If NAV.BL is TACAN or VORTAC and its (TACAN)TD.availability.signalType is specified, then insert its value here.

(5)

The following rules apply:

  • If NAV.BL.type has the value ILS, ILS_DME, LOC, LOC_DME, MLS or MLS_DME, then insert the RunwayDirection.BL.designator of the associated NAV.BL.runwayDirection, if available;
  • Otherwise, insert the NAV.BL.designator, if available.

(6)

Apply the following rules:

NAV.BL.type

Use the following value

VOR, VOR_DME, VORTAC

(VOR)BL.frequency followed by its uom value

NDB, NDB_MKR, NDB_DME

(NDB)BL.frequency followed by its uom value

SDF

(SDF)BL.frequency followed by its uom value

any other

leave empty

(7)

Apply the following rules:

NAV.BL.type

Use the following value

VOR_DME, DME, NDB_DME

(DME)BL.channel

TACAN, VORTAC

(TACAN)BL.channel

any other

leave empty

(8)

Insert the NEQ.TD.operationalStatus decoded as follows:

NEQ.BL.availability/operationalStatus

Text to be inserted in Item E

UNSERVICEABLE

"unserviceable"

ONTEST

"On test, do not use. False indication possible."

INTERRUPT

"subject to interruption"

PARTIAL

"unserviceable" (note that this should only occur for TACAN components)

FALSE_INDICATION

"do not use,false indication"

DISPLACED

"displaced"

IN_CONSTRUCTION

"in construction, do not use"

OTHER

"operational status is affected"

(9)

If specified, insert here only the NEQ.TD.NavaidOperationalStatus.annotation that has propertyName="operationalStatus" and purpose="REMARK", translated into free text according to the following encoding rules.

(10)

Annotations shall be translated into free text according to the rules for annotations decoding.

Rule

(11)

If the NOTAM will be followed by a new NOTAM concerning the same situation, then the operator shall have the possibility to specify "New NOTAM to follow" and this text shall be appended at the end of item E of the NOTAM C.

Note: in this case, the 4th and 5th letters of the Q code shall also be changed into “XX”
