Item D, E - Schedules

Introduction

As explained in the data coding section, this specification supports the encoding of three types of schedules:

• daily schedules, e.g. "daily from 09:00 to 17:00";
• date based schedules, e.g. "1/10 09:00-15:00 and on 3/10 10:00-12:00";
• weekday based schedules, e.g. "every Monday from 13:00 to sunset";

This section provides rules for the automated generation of NOTAM schedules from the equivalent of such AIXM Timesheets. For most Event Scenarios, the resulting schedule is provided in item D of the generated NOTAM. However, if the Event concerns the modification of a baseline schedule, then the new/temporary schedule has to be provided in item E. This is identified in the particular scenarios concerned. The ICAO DOC 8126 and the OPADD rules have been followed in the definition of the text schedule production rules.

Production rules

AIXM specific terms are used in this section, such as names of features and properties. The abbreviation TS. indicates that the corresponding data item must be taken from the Timesheet(s) of the TEMPDELTA or PERMDELTA TimeSlice created for the feature associated with the Event, as indicated for each particular scenario.

Annotations shall be translated into free text according to the Encoding annotations rules and included in item E. No schedule annotations should be included in item D.

The first step is the identification of the schedule type.
