Appendix A - Abbreviations and acronyms

This appendix provides the Digital NOTAM format for the abbreviations and acronyms included in ICAO Doc 8400 Abbreviations and codes, categorized in accordance with the following defined rules:

  1. Abbreviations that shall be spelled out and written in sentence case.
  2. Abbreviations and acronym that shall be kept and spelled in upper case.
  3. Abbreviations and acronyms that shall be kept and spelled in lower case.
  4. Acronyms that shall be spelled out and with the first letter of all words in upper case (except for words that correspond to an acronym or abbreviation for which another rule allows to be kept and spelled in upper case, such as RWY, THR etc.).
  5. Acronyms that shall be spelled out and then in lower case (except for the words that correspond to an acronym or abbreviation for which another rule allows to be kept and in upper case, such as RWY, THR, etc.).
  6. Symbols for units of measurement

It is recognized that not all of the listed abbreviations and acronyms will be used in Digital NOTAM, e.g. "wilco", However, the spelling rules for lower and upper case for all Doc 8400 entries are provided for completeness sake, with the exception of some meteorological terms such as cloud types and certain meteorological service message terms.
