NOTICES TO AIRMEN (NOTAMS)
1
A private pilot and his family were flying on vacation to a remote airstrip near
a lake where they were looking forward to camping and fishing. The pilot
had carefully planned the trip and called the Flight Service Station just before
departure for a complete preflight weather briefing. Since they were
scheduled to arrive after sunset, the pilot asked the briefer to confirm that
the runway lights were operational. The briefer reviewed the Notices to
Airmen (NOTAMs) for the airport and did not see any reference to the
runway lights being out of service. However, an unlighted construction crane
was located near the approach path to the runway, and this item was never
entered into the NOTAM system. Upon arrival at the destination, the aircraft
hit the unlighted obstruction just short of the runway and all aboard were
killed.
Prompt information to the flying community is important. This information
aids the pilot in deciding whether to fly or not.
NOTAMs keep the controller informed as to what is affecting his or her work
environment. Are there any runways closed? Are all the Navigational Aids
(NAVAIDs) working?

INTRODUCTION
Purpose
(Continued)
This lesson discusses how time-critical information concerning the National
Airspace System (NAS) is received, processed, and disseminated to all
aviation interests.

Notice to
Airmen
(NOTAM)
Definition
JO 7110.65,
Pilot/Controller
Glossary
A Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) provides information (not known
sufficiently in advance to publicize by other means) concerning the
establishment, condition, or change in any component (facility, service,
or procedure of, or hazard in the NAS) the timely knowledge of which is
essential to personnel concerned with flight operations.

Information
DISSEMINATION OF AIRMEN’S INFORMATION
JO 7930.2,
Chap. 2
3
The system for disseminating aeronautical information is made up of two
subsystems:
The Airmen’s Information System (AIS)
− AIS consists of charts and publications.
The NOTAM system
− NOTAM is a telecommunication system.
Airmen’s information is disseminated by the following methods:
Aeronautical charts:
− IFR charts such as:
→ En Route High Altitude Charts
→ En Route Low Altitude Charts

JO 7930.2,
Chap. 2
Originators of airmen’s information are expected to inform the National
Flight Data Center (NFDC) in sufficient time before the effective dates of
changes to permit publishing of aeronautical data on the various charts
or in the appropriate publications.
When changes occur so rapidly that time does not permit issuance on a
chart or in an appropriate publication, yet the timely issuance of the
changes are essential, they are publicized as NOTAMs.
NOTAMs are classified into the following four types:
50043/50143-LP05 /V.1.08A
NOTAM D
FDC NOTAM
Pointer NOTAM
Military NOTAM

The purpose of a pointer NOTAM is to make pilots aware of the
existence of a condition or event that might require a lengthy description,
and “point” to the NOTAM containing more detailed information.
This practice is intended to help reduce the volume of NOTAM
information provided in a standard briefing. Pilots who will be operating
in this airspace during the effective time will know where to go to get
detailed information, while pilots who are not affected can move on.

− This includes forwarding data of programmed changes in the
NAS, such as frequency changes,
commissioning/decommissioning, etc.
Coordinating with appropriate Air Traffic (AT) facilities prior to
shutdown or changes that affect safety of flight
− Tech Ops personnel are expected to submit approval requests for
routine maintenance shutdowns sufficiently in advance to ensure
that approval will be received with ample time for issuance of a
NOTAM five hours before a shutdown will occur.
− Routine shutdowns of air traffic system components should occur
during the hours of least traffic activity regardless of the time of
day.
Aviation
System
Standards
Aviation System Standards National Flight Procedures Office (AVN) is a
part of Tech Ops.
JO 7930.2,
Chap. 1
AVN personnel identify those safety-of-flight conditions which require the
issuance of FDC NOTAMs relating to instrument flight procedures.
FDC NOTAMs are normally issued for revisions to standard instrument
approach procedures, airway structures, and some departure
procedures.
