Text NOTAM production rules

...

Note that if the navaid is used for instrument approach or departures from one or more airports or affects the en-route navigation in one or more FIR, explicit associations between the Event and one or more AirportHeliport and/or Airspace may be coded. Then, there exist dedicated provision in the OPADD (v4.1, section 2.3.9.3) with regard to the NOTAM that need to be issued in order to ensure that the NOTAM appear correctly in the relevant en-route and airport Pre-Flight Information Bulletins (PIB). Further details are provided in the “several NOTAM possible” section.

The NOTAM production rules provided on this page, unless specified otherwise, are applicable to the “first NOTAM” and the NOTAM containing one or more FIR in Item A. 

Event.concernedAirspaceEvent.concernedAirportHeliportNOTAM to be generated
1..*None

produce a single NOTAM with scope E for all the FIR(s) identified

1..*1..*Produce a "first" NOTAM with scope E for all FIR and additional (scope A) NOTAM for each airport concerned. 
11..*Produce a "first" NOTAM with scope AE for the FIR and one of the aerodromes associated with the Event and additional (scope A) NOTAM for each additional airport.

Item A

The item A shall be generated according to the geographical location of the Airspace and shall contain the Airspace.designator of the predefined FIR(s) for which a NOTAM has to be issued, except if there is an association Event to an AirportHeliport case in the AirportHeliport.designator shall be used.

(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:

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.
