ReferenceData item (from coding template)Rule
(1)

If TS.startTime has a value then use this path. Otherwise, if TS.startEvent has a value, then use the alternate path.

(2)start time

Format the data contained in TS.startTime according to NOTAM syntax for this item: hhmm.

(3)start event

Decode this value as follows: SR → "SR", SS → "SS"

(4)rel. startIf TS.startTimeRelativeEvent has a value, then decode by replacing '-' by 'minus' and '+' by 'plus', followed by the number of minutes in mm format.
(5)

If TS.endTime has a value then use this path. Otherwise, if TS.endEvent has a value, then use the alternate path.

(6)end time

Format the data contained in TS.endTime according to NOTAM syntax for this item: hhmm.

If TS.endTime is '00:00', then the value “2359” shall be used as hhmm group in the NOTAM.

(7)

If there are multiple Timesheet (i.e. multiple time periods included in the schedule), sort them by TS.startTime and TS.startEvent.

Sugestion

For Timesheet sorting purpose, the SR (sunrise) and SS (sunset) codes need to be converted into actual times. For example, consider an airspace is active according to the following schedule:

  • 1st Timesheet: 12:00-14:00, time reference = UTC
  • 2nd Timesheet : SR – 10:00, time reference = UTC
  • 3rd Timesheet: SS-21:00, time reference = UTC

When generating the text for item E or D, these three time periods should appear in a "timeline" order: “SR-1000 1200-1400 SS-2100”.

The Timesheets do not have any “order” attribute. There are known algorithms for calculating exact SS and SR time, based on location, which can be derived from the owning feature geometry or from the Event associations with Airport/Heliport and/or FIR. A possibly simpler solution is to pre-define an approximate time for SR/SS, such as 06:00/19:00 local time, which might be good enough for sorting Timesheets.

(8)

If there are any timesheets containing TS.excluded elements with the value 'YES', denoting a schedule with exceptions, select all of them and use this path, otherwise go through the bypass path.

(9)excluded date

Use all the Timesheet that have TS.excluded='YES' at once and apply the following algorithm:

  • order these Timesheet by the calendar order of TS.startDate;
  • format each TS.startDate to show the month abbreviation followed by two digits (MMM DD), eg. "except AUG 23", according to item D NOTAM syntax. Add space (" ") between the consecutive values;
  • if two consecutive values have the same MMM value, then eliminate the repeated MMM value: for example, "except AUG 23 AUG 30" needs to be replaced with "except AUG 23 30"
(10)schedule noteAnnotations of parent object that have  propertyName='timeInterval' and purpose='REMARK'. shall be translated into free text according to the decoding rules for annotations. The resulting text shall be appended at the end of item E.
