1. Introduction
This guidance has been created with the objective of supporting NOTAM sponsors in the
preparation and submission phase to enable clear and concise provision of information to its
readers.
1.1 NOTAM Definition - (ICAO Annex 15)
“A notice distributed by means of telecommunication containing information concerning
the establishment, condition or change in any aeronautical facility, service, procedure or
hazard, the timely knowledge of which is essential to personnel concerned with flight
operations.”
1.2 NOTAM Proliferation
Statistics indicate that the number of NOTAM being distributed globally continues to
escalate. The UK NOTAM office alone transmits in excess of 5558 NOTAM every month.
As the complexities around services and facilities increase, so the requirement to deliver
consistent information in an accurate and timely manner becomes vital.
1.3 NOTAM Sponsorship
In practical terms planned changes to facilities and services affecting the safe operation
of aircraft should be notified to AIS giving as much notice as possible. While un-
serviceable and un-planned events can only be announced as they occur.
1.4 Assessment Process
If a hazard is assessed as having a significant impact on the safe operation of an aircraft
or a change to the information published in the AIP has taken place, then a NOTAM may
be considered to announce the circumstances.
1.5 A NOTAM shall be considered for the following:
a) Establishment, closure or significant changes in operation of aerodrome(s) or
heliport(s) or runways.
b) Establishment, withdrawal or significant changes in operation of aeronautical
services (aerodromes, AIS, ATS, communications, navigation and surveillance
(CNS), meteorology (MET), search and rescue (SAR), etc.).
c) Establishment, withdrawal or significant changes in operational capability of radio
navigation and air-ground communication services. This includes: interruption or
return to operation, change of frequencies, change in notified hours of service,
change of identification, change of orientation (directional aids), change of
location, power increase or decrease amounting to 50 per cent or more, change
in broadcast schedules or contents, or irregularity or unreliability of operation of
any radio navigation and air-ground communication services or limitations of relay
stations including operational impact, affected service, frequency and area;
d) Unavailability of back-up and secondary systems, having a direct operational
impact.
e) Establishment, withdrawal or significant changes to visual aids.

UK NOTAM GUIDANCE MATERIAL
f) Interruption of or return to operation of major components of aerodrome lighting
systems.
g) Establishment, withdrawal or significant changes to procedures for air navigation
services.
h) Occurrence or correction of major defects or impediments in the manoeuvring
area.
i) Changes to and limitations on availability of fuel, oil and oxygen.
j) Major changes to search and rescue facilities and services available.
k) Establishment, withdrawal or return to operation of hazard beacons marking
obstacles to air navigation.
l) Changes in regulations requiring immediate action, eg prohibited areas for SAR
action.
m) Presence of hazards not otherwise promulgated, which affect air navigation
(including obstacles, military exercises and operations, intentional and
unintentional radio frequency interferences, rocket launches, displays, fireworks,
sky lanterns, rocket debris, races and major parachuting events.
n) Conflict zones which affect air navigation (to include information that is as
specific as possible regarding the nature and extent of threats of that conflict
and its consequences for civil aviation)
o) Planned laser emissions, laser displays and search lights if pilots’ night vision is
likely to be impaired.
p) Erecting or removal of, or changes to, obstacles to air navigation in the take-
off/climb, missed approach, approach areas and runway strip.
q) Establishment or discontinuance (including activation or deactivation) as
applicable, or changes in the status of prohibited, restricted or danger areas.
r) Establishment or discontinuance of areas or routes or portions thereof where the
possibility of interception exists and where the maintenance of guard on the VHF
emergency frequency 121.5 MHz is required.
s) Allocation, cancellation or change of location indicators.
t) Changes in aerodrome/heliport rescue and firefighting category provided (see
Annex 14, Volume I, Chapter 9, and Attachment A, Section 17).
u) Presence or removal of, or significant changes in, hazardous conditions due to
snow, slush, ice, radioactive material, toxic chemicals, volcanic ash deposition or
water on the movement area.
v) Outbreaks of epidemics necessitating changes in notified requirements for
inoculations and quarantine measures.
w) Observations or forecasts of space weather phenomena, the date and time of
their occurrence, the flight levels where provided and portions of the airspace
which may be affected by the phenomena.
x) An operationally significant change in volcanic activity, the location, date and
time of volcanic eruptions and/or horizontal and vertical extent of volcanic ash
cloud, including direction of movement, flight levels and routes or portions of
routes which could be affected.
y) Release into the atmosphere of radioactive materials or toxic chemicals following
a nuclear or chemical incident, the location, date and time of the incident, the
flight levels and routes or portions thereof which could be affected and the
direction of movement.
z) Establishment of operations of humanitarian relief missions, such as those
undertaken under the auspices of the United Nations, together with procedures
and/or limitations which affect air navigation; and
aa) Implementation of short-term contingency measures in cases of disruption, or
partial disruption, of ATS and related supporting services
1.6 The following information shall not be notified by NOTAM:
a) Routine maintenance work on aprons and taxiways which does not affect the
safe movement of aircraft.
b) Runway marking work, when aircraft operations can safely be conducted on
other available runways, or the equipment used can be removed when
necessary.

c) Temporary obstructions in the vicinity of aerodromes/heliports that do not affect
the safe operation of aircraft.
d) Partial failure of aerodrome/heliport lighting facilities where such failure does not
directly affect aircraft operations.
e) Partial temporary failure of air-ground communications when suitable alternative
frequencies are known to be available and are operative.
f) The lack of apron marshalling services and road traffic control.
g) The unserviceability of location, destination or other instruction signs on the
aerodrome movement area.
h) Parachuting when in uncontrolled airspace under VFR (see 6.3.2.3 m), when
controlled, at promulgated sites or within danger or prohibited areas.
i) Training activities by ground units.
j) Unavailability of back-up and secondary systems if these do not have an
operational impact.
k) Limitations to airport facilities or general services with no operational impact.
l) National regulations not affecting general aviation.

operational impact for airspace and facility users.
p) Information about laser emissions without any operational impact and fireworks
below minimum flying heights.
q) Closure of movement area parts in connection with planned work locally
coordinated of duration of less than one hour.
r) Closure or unavailability of, or changes in, operation of aerodrome(s)/heliport(s)
outside the aerodrome(s)/heliport(s) operational hours; and
s) Other non-operational information of a similar temporary nature.
1.7 Permanent Changes to the UK Civil AIP
Permanent Changes to the UK AIP are to be submitted using the online process available
from the AIS Portal https://www.aurora.nats.co.uk/
Note: More information about submitting AIP Change Requests and publishing other
aeronautical information products can be found here: https://nats-uk.ead-it.com/cms-
nats/opencms/en/Publications/submit-change-request/
Do not use AFTN to sponsor a Permanent NOTAM, they should be submitted via Aurora
Data Originators Portal as part of the AIP Change Request. However, during out-of-hours,
if a Perm change is imminent and critical to Flight Safety then a temporary NOTAM may
be issued for a maximum of 7 days. The sponsor must submit an AIP CR as soon as
possible but within 7 days.
1.8 Regulatory approvals
Compliance with regulatory approval requirements shall not inhibit the urgent distribution
of aeronautical information necessary to ensure the safety of flight.
Regulatory approvals of items submitted via Aurora Data Originators Portal are sent to
the CAA directly by the AIS.
Notifying the CAA about any temporary changes promulgated via NOTAM, to data items
requiring regulatory approval, remain the responsibility of the Sponsor but UK NOF may be
asked for assistance or coordination.
10th August 2023
3 of 13
UK NOTAM GUIDANCE MATERIAL
When an aerodrome wishes to temporarily increase their declared distance, eg special
events, the AD Operator must obtain prior approval from (SRG) before a NOTAM is
proposed.
Note: More information about regulatory approvals and notifications process is provided
in CAP 1054.
1.9 Permanent Changes to the UK Mil AIP
Military units can issue permanent NOTAM via AFTN; however, the sponsor is to advise
No 1 AIDU as soon as possible to ensure the UK Mil AIP is updated.
Note: UK MIL AIP is available at https://www.aidu.mod.uk/aip/, more information on
submitting changes to the UK MIL AIP and publishing other MIL aeronautical information
products can be found here: https://www.aidu.mod.uk/aip/userSupport.html
1.10 Temporary Changes
The principle means of delivering temporary NOTAM proposals to AIS is by use of the
AFTN. If AFTN is not available due to connectivity issues, then sponsors can email their
proposal to [email protected] using the NOTAM form at the following
address: https://nats-uk.ead-it.com/cms-nats/opencms/en/NOTAM/#NOTAM_REQUEST_FORM
Authorised sponsors that do not have an AFPEX account can sign up for a free NOTAM
only account.
AFPEX can be found here: www.myafpex.co.uk
Apply for an AFPEX account: https://ts1.flightplanningonline.co.uk/applyingForAnAccount.html
AFPEX NOTAM Help/Guide can be found here: https://www.myafpex.co.uk/guides/notam.php
1.11 NOTAM Duration Information of a permanent character
Within three months from the issuing of a permanent NOTAM, the information contained
in the NOTAM shall be included in the aeronautical information products affected (eg AIP,
charts, datasets).
If at the time of NOTAM submission, it is clear that the information is permanent, PERM
NOTAM should be issued. Please see paragraph 1.7 Permanent Changes to the UK Civil
AIP above.
Information of a temporary character
Within three months from the issuing of a temporary NOTAM of long duration, the
information contained in the NOTAM shall be included in other aeronautical information
products.
It means that if at the time of NOTAM submission, it is clear to the Sponsor that the
information is temporary but of long duration, NOTAM can be issued for 90 days, and
other aeronautical information products must be proposed by the Sponsor to promulgate
the information beyond the period of validity of such NOTAM.
When a NOTAM with estimated end of validity unexpectedly exceeds the three-month
period, a replacement NOTAM can be issued once. In each case UK NOF should be made
aware of the re-issuance. A request for a second (and further) re-issuance of the same
NOTAM is subject to CAA’s approval. The CAA may agree to re-issue NOTAM if sufficient
justification is provided by the Sponsor and it is clear that it is necessary to ensure safety
of aircraft operations.
Note: UK NOF records every re-issued NOTAM and provided justification for audit
purposes.

2. Type
2.1 Airspace Activities
Planned Activities such as air exercises, flight trials, air displays, ballooning, kite flying
etc impacting upon normal flying operations must be brought to the attention of other
airspace users. To facilitate this, a department within the CAA, Airspace Regulation (AR)
([email protected] 01293 983880) acts as a focal point to validate and co-ordinate
airspace activities taking place within the UK.
Organisers of such events are required to contact the CAA giving as much notice as
possible. An individual assessment of each activity is conducted by an Airspace Specialist
resulting in an appropriate method of notification on behalf of the organiser.
Note: More information about event and obstacle notification can be found here:
https://www.caa.co.uk/Commercial-industry/Airspace/Event-and-obstacle-
notification/Event-and-obstacle-notification/
2.2 ‘Out-of-Hours’ Nav Warnings
a) When the NOF receives a NOTAM for a Nav Warning request outside the CAA AR
operational hours which has not been de-conflicted by CAA AR, NOF shall inform the
sponsor about the NOTAM policy and advise the sponsor to contact CAA AR, the NOF
should also inform CAA AR about the request.
b) However where there is an urgent need to distribute a NOTAM for a Nav Warning to ensure
safety of operations and when contact with CAA AR is not possible before the start of the
activity (or occurrence of any other hazard to air navigation) and the sponsor has
confirmed that the activity (or hazard) cannot be cancelled (or hazard eliminated) or
delayed, a NOTAM should be published. Both CAA AR and CAA AIMR should be notified via
email including a copy of the NOTAM (marked HIGH IMPORTANCE). CAA AR shall de-
conflict such notifications at the earliest opportunity.
c) It is the Sponsor’s responsibility to notify AR in advance of any planned unusual aerial
activities taking place outside an ATZ to ensure de-confliction of the airspace. Publication
of a NOTAM cannot be considered as a means of notifying the CAA about the activity and
must not be considered as approval for the activity.
d) CAA AR Operational hours for the purpose of the arrangements in this policy are:
a. Mon – Fri 08:30 – 16:30 (excluding UK public bank holidays and notified closed
periods).
e) The above policy is valid for new NOTAM requests as well as changes and cancellations of
published NOTAM for Nav Warnings unless agreed otherwise between CAA AR, NOF and
the sponsor(s).
2.3 Unlicensed Aerodromes
Unlicensed aerodromes with or without an ICAO 4-letter location indicator are able to
propose NOTAM for safety related subjects for facilities and services at their aerodrome.
Such information will be issued as an E Series NOTAM. Unlicensed aerodromes with or
without an AFTN that have unusual aerial activities shall be brought to the attention of
CAA Airspace Regulation who will consider an H series NOTAM.
2.4 En-route Obstacles
The ENR 5.4 section of the UK AIP contains a list of all known obstacles in the UK FIRs
above 100m/328ft AGL. The information includes unique references, obstacle types and
whether lighting is known to be fitted or not. The source of all information published in
this section is the Defence Geographic Centre (DGC).
10th August 2023
5 of 13
UK NOTAM GUIDANCE MATERIAL
If a permanent or temporary change is known to have taken place, e.g. a new en-route
obstacle or a lighting outage, then the CAA must be notified.
Note: More information about event and obstacle notification can be found here:
https://www.caa.co.uk/Commercial-industry/Airspace/Event-and-obstacle-
notification/Event-and-obstacle-notification/
2.5 Aerodrome Obstacles/safeguarding
An aerodrome has the sole responsibility for notifying relevant obstacles affecting
aerodrome operations in accordance with CAP 738 and 785. Consequently, a NOTAM
proposal received by NOF from an aerodrome notifying obstacles can therefore be
regarded as necessary for the purposes of aerodrome safeguarding.
A NOTAM proposal received by NOF from an aerodrome must include –
i.
Type of obstacle.
ii. Obstacle position and location, represented by geographical coordinates in
degrees, minutes, seconds and tenths of seconds if required for accuracy.
iii. Obstacle height in AGL and AMSL in feet
iv. Obstacle marking, and type and colour of obstacle lighting (if any).
(NOF will defer to proposer if any of these criteria are missing.)
The NOF will promulgate the NOTAM as scope ‘AE’ thereby ensuring the information is
included in an aerodrome PIB and En-route PIB.
CAA/AR section propose ‘N’ series (En-route) NOTAM for obstacles over 100m/328ft AGL
and not affecting aerodrome operations that are notified to CAA by owners/operators.
Obstacles above 100m/328ft AGL that are outside of the safeguarding area, but within
an aerodrome’s controlled airspace shall be promulgated using scope ‘AE’ thereby
ensuring the information will appear in an aerodrome (PIB) and En-route PIB.
2.6 Aerodrome NOTAM Processing
If the obstacle is assessed as affecting more than one licensed aerodrome, then additional
NOTAM may be issued to ensure that the notification appears on all relevant PIB. One
NOTAM will be scoped as AE (Aerodrome and En-route), any additional NOTAM will be
scoped A to identify other affected aerodrome/s.
2.7 New/Temporary obstacles regarding the safe operation of aircraft
All obstacles over 100 m (328ft) AGL are to be notified to the CAA. It is mandatory to
notify the CAA of any obstacle of a height of 100m AGL and more. This requirement
applies regardless of where the obstacle is located.
Obstacles within aerodrome notification areas should be notified to the relevant
aerodrome operator.
Occasionally unverified reports are received from the public describing the presence of
an obstacle. In response to any report received ‘out of hours’, AIS will raise a NOTAM
containing a statement “UNVERIFIED REPORT OF OBSTACLE” until verification by the CAA
or MAMC can take place.

2.11 Firework Displays
Information relating to firework displays that do not exceed 1000ft AGL will only routinely
be promulgated by NOTAM if the display falls within the area defined in Annex B to CAP
736. NOTAM action may also be taken if the display lies inside CAS or close to known
low-level aircraft routes.
3. NOTAM
3.1 The AFTN NOTAM Proposal
As a general principle, each submission should deal with only one subject and one
condition. Avoid sending a NOTAM proposal that describes a multitude of disconnected
subjects. The information must be clear and unambiguous giving the reader the ability
to quickly assess the impact.
Be mindful that the information will be delivered to an international audience where a
great many recipients will not have English as their primary language.
All proposals should be transmitted to the UK NOF using the AFTN address EUECYIYP.
This address is used by those NOF Offices that have adopted the European AIS Database
(EAD) service for broadcasting their NOTAM.
When composing the NOTAM Proposal, it is important that the first line of text is
constructed according to an explicit format. The message is to be prefixed with the type
10th August 2023
7 of 13
UK NOTAM GUIDANCE MATERIAL
of NOTAM i.e. NOTAMN to announce a new NOTAM, NOTAMR to replace a current
NOTAM and NOTAMC to cancel a NOTAM.
The use of PROPOSAL EGGN in the first line of text is compulsory and signifies that the
message is for the attention of the UK NOTAM Office.
After the first line, the message can take any format. The closer the content is aligned to
the NOTAM format the quicker AIS will be able to process the message for distribution.
Some examples follow:
NOTAMN PROPOSAL EGGN
EASTERN TAXIWAY CLOSED DUE RESURFACING
FROM 0800 TO 2300 ON 24 JAN

NOTAMR PROPOSAL EGGN A0123/12
EXTEND NOTAM A0123/12 UNTIL 28 JUN 1500 DUE CONTINUED OUTAGE
3.2 NOTAM Format
NOTAM are required to conform to an explicit template. Using the example below, an
explanation of the format follows:
A1234/14 NOTAMN
Q) EGTT/QMRLC/IV/NBO/A/000/999/5129N00028W005
A) EGLL
B) 1408231500 C) 1409310500
D) 1500-1600, 0430-0500
E) RWY 09R/27L CLOSED DUE WIP
3.3 The NOTAM Construct:
A1234/13 represents the NOTAM Series, followed by a sequential 4-digit number,
followed by two digits to indicate the year. (Max 9999/YY).
NOTAMN Indicates this is a new NOTAM. Other options are R for NOTAM replacing
another or C for one cancelling another. Replacement NOTAM can only be used to replace
a NOTAM that is already in effect
Q) EGTT/QMRLC/IV/NBO/A/000/999/5129N00028W005
The Qualifying line, or Q Line, is an AIS tool used to categorise the NOTAM according to
its scope. It consists of up to eight fields separated by a stroke (/) comprising FIR, Q
Code, Traffic, Purpose, Scope, Vertical Limits, Co-ordinates and Radius.
EGTT is an ICAO code, identifying the (London) FIR to which the NOTAM refers. Should
the activity take place in more than one FIR then the code EGXX is applied and the
specific FIRS affected are inserted into field A of the NOTAM
QMRLC is a 5 letter NOTAM code identifying subject and status. In this case MR is a
Runway, LC indicates a closed status. IV indicates that this information is significant for
both IFR and VFR operations while NBO indicates a message for immediate attention, for
inclusion in a PIB and operationally significant.
10th August 2023
8 of 13
UK NOTAM GUIDANCE MATERIAL
A represents the scope which in this case is an Aerodrome NOTAM as opposed to an En-
Route E NOTAM or Navigation Warning W. Combinations AE and AW can also be applied
according to the subject being described.
000/999 represents the lower and upper limits expressed as a flight level. In this case
it is left as a default as it is not applicable.
5129N00028W005 is the ‘Centre point’ using degrees and minutes followed by a radius
of influence. In this case the default value of 5NM has been applied based on the
aerodrome ARP. A default radius of 999 is applied for NOTAM that cannot be associated
to a specific area and for those that affect the whole FIR.
Position (Where)
A) EGLL is the ICAO code of the aerodrome (Heathrow). While it is possible to insert
more than one FIR into this field, it is only possible to enter one Aerodrome. This means
that separate NOTAM are required if the impact is on two or more aerodromes.
Effective from (Begins)
B) 1408231500 is the Date/time group in UTC when the NOTAM becomes effective.
Year, Month, Day, Time. NOTAM used to replace or cancel other NOTAM can only be
issued With Immediate Effect (WIE) and cannot have a future effective (start) date.
Effective until (Finishes)
C) 1409310500 is the Date/time group in UTC when the NOTAM ceases to be effective.
Temporary NOTAM shall exist no longer than 90 days.
Where an expiry date/time can only be estimated EST may be included in Field C for
temporary NOTAM. Sponsors shall take action to cancel or replace the NOTAM before the
EST expiry time.
Planned Schedule (Optional)
D) 1500-1630, 0430-0500 this provides the opportunity to describe a schedule of
events within the effective date of the NOTAM. This is particularly useful for events that
take place over a period of days or weeks. Irregular schedules that do not meet certain
criteria will have to be described in the plain language part of the NOTAM
Plain Language (Free-text)
E) RWY 09R/27L CLOSED DUE WIP is the textual part of the NOTAM indicating that
Runway 09/27 is closed due to work in progress.
This item describes the ‘subject’ and ‘condition’ and is probably the most important part
of the message. The information should be explicit giving the reader the ability to quickly
assess the impact to their operation.
Start with a ‘headline’ to describe the subject and event e.g. RWY…CLOSED, TWY… WIP,
DANGER AREA … ACTIVATED, FREQUENCY … U/S. After which supplemental information
may be considered to describe the impact.
Avoid information that may be considered as ‘nice to have’ or complementary. Use
internationally recognised abbreviations (as per ICAO Doc 8400) unless their use creates
misunderstanding. A list of abbreviations is available in the General (GEN) section of the
AIP but note that National abbreviations (in italics) cannot be used for NOTAM.
10th August 2023

UK NOTAM GUIDANCE MATERIAL
Use of Coordinates
If there is a requirement to describe an area or polygon, the provision of coordinates
Degrees/Minutes/Seconds shall be used e.g. 521049N 0012035W. When describing an
area repeat the first coordinate in full to close the polygon.
Supplementary Information
The judgment needed to assess the extent of information required in a NOTAM can be
problematical. Too much information can serve to overwhelm the reader, whereas not
enough information will fail to provide them with an opportunity to assess the impact on
the operation.
Guidance in composing the text of a NOTAM can be obtained by contacting the NOTAM
Office directly to establish that the proposal clearly captures the objective.
Vertical Parameters
Fields F & G describe lower and upper limits. They are not used for Aerodrome NOTAM
scoped A; however, they are used for airspace notifications such as navigation warnings,
airspace reservations and Danger Area activities. The sponsor should ensure that
appropriate values are included in the NOTAM proposal e.g. FL090, 3000FT AMSL.
When the values in Fields F and G are expressed as a flight level (FL) or altitude (AMSL)
the associated FL values will also be applied in the Q Line. It is recommended that the
use of AGL is avoided in fields F & G, as it demands a calculation based upon the highest
terrain elevation for the region or FIR.
3.4 Transmission
NOTAM are automatically transmitted by AFTN to the distribution list managed by UK
NOF. Requests to amend the AFTN distribution lists used for NOTAM shall be directed to
the UK NOF using email address: [email protected].

Introduction This guidance has been created with the objective of supporting NOTAM sponsors in the preparation and submission phase to enable clear and concise provision of information to its readers. 1. 1 NOTAM Definition - (ICAO Annex 15) “A notice distributed by means of telecommunication containing information concerning the establishment, condition or change in any aeronautical facility, service, procedure or hazard, the timely knowledge of which is essential to personnel concerned with flight operations. ” 1. 2 NOTAM Proliferation Statistics indicate that the number of NOTAM being distributed globally continues to escalate. The UK NOTAM office alone transmits in excess of 5558 NOTAM every month. As the complexities around services and facilities increase, so the requirement to deliver consistent information in an accurate and timely manner becomes vital. 1. 3 NOTAM Sponsorship In practical terms planned changes to facilities and services affecting the safe operation of aircraft should be notified to AIS giving as much notice as possible"

Consequently, a NOTAM proposal received by NOF from an aerodrome notifying obstacles can therefore be regarded as necessary for the purposes of aerodrome safeguarding. A NOTAM proposal received by NOF from an aerodrome must include – i. Type of obstacle. ii. Obstacle position and location, represented by geographical coordinates in degrees, minutes, seconds and tenths of seconds if required for accuracy. iii. Obstacle height in AGL and AMSL in feet iv. Obstacle marking, and type and colour of obstacle lighting (if any).

Avoid sending a NOTAM proposal that describes a multitude of disconnected subjects. The information must be clear and unambiguous giving the reader the ability to quickly assess the impact. Be mindful that the information will be delivered to an international audience where a great many recipients will not have English as their primary language.

This address is used by those NOF Offices that have adopted the European AIS Database (EAD) service for broadcasting their NOTAM.

Introduction This guidance has been created with the objective of supporting NOTAM sponsors in the preparation and submission phase to enable clear and concise provision of information to its readers. 1. 1 NOTAM Definition - (ICAO Annex 15) “A notice distributed by means of telecommunication containing information concerning the establishment, condition or change in any aeronautical facility, service, procedure or hazard, the timely knowledge of which is essential to personnel concerned with flight operations. ” 1. 2 NOTAM Proliferation Statistics indicate that the number of NOTAM being distributed globally continues to escalate. The UK NOTAM office alone transmits in excess of 5558 NOTAM every month. As the complexities around services and facilities increase, so the requirement to deliver consistent information in an accurate and timely manner becomes vital. 1. 3 NOTAM Sponsorship In practical terms planned changes to facilities and services affecting the safe operation of aircraft should be notified to AIS giving as much notice as possible",

If AFTN is not available due to connectivity issues, then sponsors can email their proposal to notam. proposals@nats. co. uk using the NOTAM form at the following address: https://nats-uk. ead-it. com/cms-nats/opencms/en/NOTAM/#NOTAM_REQUEST_FORM Authorised sponsors that do not have an AFPEX account can sign up for a free NOTAM only account.

" aerodrome’s controlled airspace shall be promulgated using scope ‘AE’ thereby ensuring the information will appear in an aerodrome (PIB) and En-route PIB. 2. 6 Aerodrome NOTAM Processing If the obstacle is assessed as affecting more than one licensed aerodrome, then additional NOTAM may be issued to ensure that the notification appears on all relevant PIB. One NOTAM will be scoped as AE (Aerodrome and En-route), any additional NOTAM will be scoped A to identify other affected aerodrome/s. 2. 7 New/Temporary obstacles regarding the safe operation of aircraft All obstacles over 100 m (328ft) AGL are to be notified to the CAA. It is mandatory to notify the CAA of any obstacle of a height of 100m AGL and more. This requirement applies regardless of where the obstacle is located. Obstacles within aerodrome notification areas should be notified to the relevant aerodrome operator. Occasionally unverified reports are received from the public describing the presence of an obstacle.

" Organisers of such events are required to contact the CAA giving as much notice as possible. An individual assessment of each activity is conducted by an Airspace Specialist resulting in an appropriate method of notification on behalf of the organiser. Note: More information about event and obstacle notification can be found here: https://www. caa. co. uk/Commercial-industry/Airspace/Event-and-obstacle- notification/Event-and-obstacle-notification/ 2. 2 ‘Out-of-Hours’ Nav Warnings a) When the NOF receives a NOTAM for a Nav Warning request outside the CAA AR operational hours which has not been de-conflicted by CAA AR, NOF shall inform the sponsor about the NOTAM policy and advise the sponsor to contact CAA AR, the NOF should also inform CAA AR about the request. b) However where there is an urgent need to distribute a NOTAM for a Nav Warning to ensure safety of operations and when contact with CAA AR is not possible before the start of the activity (or occurrence of any other hazard to air navigation) and the sponsor has confirmed that the activity (or hazard) cannot be cancelled (or hazard eliminated) or delayed, a NOTAM should be published. Both CAA AR and CAA AIMR should be notified via email including a copy of the NOTAM (marked HIGH IMPORTANCE). CAA AR shall de- conflict such notifications at the earliest opportunity",
" only routinely be promulgated by NOTAM if the display falls within the area defined in Annex B to CAP 736. NOTAM action may also be taken if the display lies inside CAS or close to known low-level aircraft routes. 3. NOTAM 3. 1 The AFTN NOTAM Proposal As a general principle, each submission should deal with only one subject and one condition. Avoid sending a NOTAM proposal that describes a multitude of disconnected subjects. The information must be clear and unambiguous giving the reader the ability to quickly assess the impact. Be mindful that the information will be delivered to an international audience where a great many recipients will not have English as their primary language. All proposals should be transmitted to the UK NOF using the AFTN address EUECYIYP. This address is used by those NOF Offices that have adopted the European AIS Database (EAD) service for broadcasting their NOTAM. When composing the NOTAM Proposal, it is important that the first line of text is constructed according to an explicit format. The message is to be prefixed with the type 10th August 2023 7 of 13 \fUK NOTAM GUIDANCE MATERIAL of NOTAM i. e. NOTAMN to announce a new NOTAM, NOTAMR to replace a current NOTAM and NOTAMC to cancel a NOTAM. The use of PROPOSAL EGGN in the first line of text is compulsory and signifies that the message is for the attention of the UK NOTAM Office. After the first line, the message can take any format. The closer the content is aligned to the NOTAM format the quicker AIS will be able to",
"AM Plain Language (Free-text) E) RWY 09R/27L CLOSED DUE WIP is the textual part of the NOTAM indicating that Runway 09/27 is closed due to work in progress. This item describes the ‘subject’ and ‘condition’ and is probably the most important part of the message. The information should be explicit giving the reader the ability to quickly assess the impact to their operation. Start with a ‘headline’ to describe the subject and event e. g. RWY…CLOSED, TWY… WIP, DANGER AREA … ACTIVATED, FREQUENCY … U/S. After which supplemental information may be considered to describe the impact. Avoid information that may be considered as ‘nice to have’ or complementary. Use internationally recognised abbreviations (as per ICAO Doc 8400) unless their use creates misunderstanding. A list of abbreviations is available in the General (GEN) section of the AIP but note that National abbreviations (in italics) cannot be used for NOTAM. 10th August 2023 9 of 13 \fUK NOTAM GUIDANCE MATERIAL Use of Coordinates If there is a requirement to describe an area or polygon, the provision of coordinates Degrees/Minutes/Seconds shall be used e. g. 521049N 0012035W. When describing an area repeat the first coordinate in full to close the polygon. Supplementary Information The judgment needed to assess the extent of information required in a NOTAM can be problematical. Too much information can serve to overwhelm the reader, whereas not enough information will fail to provide them with an opportunity to assess the impact on the operation. Guidance in composing the text of a NOTAM can be obtained by contacting the NOTAM Office directly to",
" establish that the proposal clearly captures the objective. Vertical Parameters Fields F & G describe lower and upper limits. They are not used for Aerodrome NOTAM scoped A; however, they are used for airspace notifications such as navigation warnings, airspace reservations and Danger Area activities. The sponsor should ensure that appropriate values are included in the NOTAM proposal e. g. FL090, 3000FT AMSL. When the values in Fields F and G are expressed as a flight level (FL) or altitude (AMSL) the associated FL values will also be applied in the Q Line. It is recommended that the use of AGL is avoided in fields F & G, as it demands a calculation based upon the highest terrain elevation for the region or FIR. 3. 4 Transmission NOTAM are automatically transmitted by AFTN to the distribution list managed by UK NOF. Requests to amend the AFTN distribution lists used for NOTAM shall be directed to the UK NOF using email address: notam. proposals@nats. co. uk. 4.

" Requests and publishing other aeronautical information products can be found here: https://nats-uk. ead-it. com/cms- nats/opencms/en/Publications/submit-change-request/ Do not use AFTN to sponsor a Permanent NOTAM, they should be submitted via Aurora Data Originators Portal as part of the AIP Change Request. However, during out-of-hours, if a Perm change is imminent and critical to Flight Safety then a temporary NOTAM may be issued for a maximum of 7 days. The sponsor must submit an AIP CR as soon as possible but within 7 days. 1. 8 Regulatory approvals Compliance with regulatory approval requirements shall not inhibit the urgent distribution of aeronautical information necessary to ensure the safety of flight. Regulatory approvals of items submitted via Aurora Data Originators Portal are sent to the CAA directly by the AIS. Notifying the CAA about any temporary changes promulgated via NOTAM, to data items requiring regulatory approval, remain the responsibility of the Sponsor but UK NOF may be asked for assistance or coordination. 10th August 2023 3 of 13 \fUK NOTAM GUIDANCE MATERIAL When an aerodrome wishes to temporarily increase their declared distance, eg special events, the AD Operator must obtain prior approval from (SRG) before a NOTAM is proposed. Note: More information about regulatory approvals and notifications process is provided in CAP 1054. 1. 9 Permanent Changes to the UK Mil AIP Military units can issue permanent NOTAM via AFTN; however, the sponsor is to advise No 1 AIDU as soon as possible to ensure the UK Mil AIP is updated",

Consequently, a NOTAM proposal received by NOF from an aerodrome notifying obstacles can therefore be regarded as necessary for the purposes of aerodrome safeguarding. A NOTAM proposal received by NOF from an aerodrome must include – i. Type of obstacle. ii. Obstacle position and location, represented by geographical coordinates in degrees, minutes, seconds and tenths of seconds if required for accuracy. iii. Obstacle height in AGL and AMSL in feet iv. Obstacle marking, and type and colour of obstacle lighting (if any). (NOF will defer to proposer if any of these criteria are missing. ) The NOF will promulgate the NOTAM as scope ‘AE’ thereby ensuring the information is included in an aerodrome PIB and En-route PIB. CAA/AR section propose ‘N’ series (En-route) NOTAM for obstacles over 100m/328ft AGL and not affecting aerodrome operations that are notified to CAA by owners/operators.

This includes: interruption or return to operation, change of frequencies, change in notified hours of service, change of identification, change of orientation (directional aids), change of location, power increase or decrease amounting to 50 per cent or more, change in broadcast schedules or contents, or irregularity or unreliability of operation of any radio navigation and air-ground communication services or limitations of relay stations including operational impact, affected service, frequency and area; d) Unavailability of back-up and secondary systems, having a direct operational impact. e) Establishment, withdrawal or significant changes to visual aids. 10th August 2023 1 of 13 \fUK NOTAM GUIDANCE MATERIAL f) Interruption of or return to operation of major components",
". c) It is the Sponsor’s responsibility to notify AR in advance of any planned unusual aerial activities taking place outside an ATZ to ensure de-confliction of the airspace. Publication of a NOTAM cannot be considered as a means of notifying the CAA about the activity and must not be considered as approval for the activity. d) CAA AR Operational hours for the purpose of the arrangements in this policy are: a. Mon – Fri 08:30 – 16:30 (excluding UK public bank holidays and notified closed periods). e) The above policy is valid for new NOTAM requests as well as changes and cancellations of published NOTAM for Nav Warnings unless agreed otherwise between CAA AR, NOF and the sponsor(s). 2. 3 Unlicensed Aerodromes Unlicensed aerodromes with or without an ICAO 4-letter location indicator are able to propose NOTAM for safety related subjects for facilities and services at their aerodrome. Such information will be issued as an E Series NOTAM. Unlicensed aerodromes with or without an AFTN that have unusual aerial activities shall be brought to the attention of CAA Airspace Regulation who will consider an H series NOTAM. 2. 4 En-route Obstacles The ENR 5. 4 section of the UK AIP contains a list of all known obstacles in the UK FIRs above 100m/328ft AGL. The information includes unique references, obstacle types and whether lighting is known to be fitted or not.

1. Introduction
This guidance has been created with the objective of supporting NOTAM sponsors in the
preparation and submission phase to enable clear and concise provision of information to its
readers.
1.1 NOTAM Definition - (ICAO Annex 15)
“A notice distributed by means of telecommunication containing information concerning
the establishment, condition or change in any aeronautical facility, service, procedure or
hazard, the timely knowledge of which is essential to personnel concerned with flight
operations.”
1.2 NOTAM Proliferation
Statistics indicate that the number of NOTAM being distributed globally continues to
escalate. The UK NOTAM office alone transmits in excess of 5558 NOTAM every month.
As the complexities around services and facilities increase, so the requirement to deliver
consistent information in an accurate and timely manner becomes vital.
1.3 NOTAM Sponsorship
In practical terms planned changes to facilities and services affecting the safe operation
of aircraft should be notified to AIS giving as much notice as possible. While un-
serviceable and un-planned events can only be announced as they occur.
1.4 Assessment Process
If a hazard is assessed as having a significant impact on the safe operation of an aircraft
or a change to the information published in the AIP has taken place, then a NOTAM may
be considered to announce the circumstances.
1.5 A NOTAM shall be considered for the following:
a) Establishment, closure or significant changes in operation of aerodrome(s) or
heliport(s) or runways.
b) Establishment, withdrawal or significant changes in operation of aeronautical
services (aerodromes, AIS, ATS, communications, navigation and surveillance
(CNS), meteorology (MET), search and rescue (SAR), etc.).
c) Establishment, withdrawal or significant changes in operational capability of radio
navigation and air-ground communication services. This includes: interruption or
return to operation, change of frequencies, change in notified hours of service,
change of identification, change of orientation (directional aids), change of
location, power increase or decrease amounting to 50 per cent or more, change
in broadcast schedules or contents, or irregularity or unreliability of operation of
any radio navigation and air-ground communication services or limitations of relay
stations including operational impact, affected service, frequency and area;
d) Unavailability of back-up and secondary systems, having a direct operational
impact.
e) Establishment, withdrawal or significant changes to visual aids.
10th August 2023

UK NOTAM GUIDANCE MATERIAL
f) Interruption of or return to operation of major components of aerodrome lighting
systems.
g) Establishment, withdrawal or significant changes to procedures for air navigation
services.
h) Occurrence or correction of major defects or impediments in the manoeuvring
area.
i) Changes to and limitations on availability of fuel, oil and oxygen.
j) Major changes to search and rescue facilities and services available.
k) Establishment, withdrawal or return to operation of hazard beacons marking
obstacles to air navigation.
l) Changes in regulations requiring immediate action, eg prohibited areas for SAR
action.
m) Presence of hazards not otherwise promulgated, which affect air navigation
(including obstacles, military exercises and operations, intentional and
unintentional radio frequency interferences, rocket launches, displays, fireworks,
sky lanterns, rocket debris, races and major parachuting events.
n) Conflict zones which affect air navigation (to include information that is as
specific as possible regarding the nature and extent of threats of that conflict
and its consequences for civil aviation)
o) Planned laser emissions, laser displays and search lights if pilots’ night vision is
likely to be impaired.
p) Erecting or removal of, or changes to, obstacles to air navigation in the take-
off/climb, missed approach, approach areas and runway strip.
q) Establishment or discontinuance (including activation or deactivation) as
applicable, or changes in the status of prohibited, restricted or danger areas.
r) Establishment or discontinuance of areas or routes or portions thereof where the
possibility of interception exists and where the maintenance of guard on the VHF
emergency frequency 121.5 MHz is required.
s) Allocation, cancellation or change of location indicators.
t) Changes in aerodrome/heliport rescue and firefighting category provided (see
Annex 14, Volume I, Chapter 9, and Attachment A, Section 17).
u) Presence or removal of, or significant changes in, hazardous conditions due to
snow, slush, ice, radioactive material, toxic chemicals, volcanic ash deposition or
water on the movement area.
v) Outbreaks of epidemics necessitating changes in notified requirements for
inoculations and quarantine measures.
w) Observations or forecasts of space weather phenomena, the date and time of
their occurrence, the flight levels where provided and portions of the airspace
which may be affected by the phenomena.
x) An operationally significant change in volcanic activity, the location, date and
time of volcanic eruptions and/or horizontal and vertical extent of volcanic ash
cloud, including direction of movement, flight levels and routes or portions of
routes which could be affected.
y) Release into the atmosphere of radioactive materials or toxic chemicals following
a nuclear or chemical incident, the location, date and time of the incident, the
flight levels and routes or portions thereof which could be affected and the
direction of movement.
z) Establishment of operations of humanitarian relief missions, such as those
undertaken under the auspices of the United Nations, together with procedures
and/or limitations which affect air navigation; and
aa) Implementation of short-term contingency measures in cases of disruption, or
partial disruption, of ATS and related supporting services
1.6 The following information shall not be notified by NOTAM:
a) Routine maintenance work on aprons and taxiways which does not affect the
safe movement of aircraft.
b) Runway marking work, when aircraft operations can safely be conducted on
other available runways, or the equipment used can be removed when
necessary.

UK NOTAM GUIDANCE MATERIAL
c) Temporary obstructions in the vicinity of aerodromes/heliports that do not affect
the safe operation of aircraft.
d) Partial failure of aerodrome/heliport lighting facilities where such failure does not
directly affect aircraft operations.
e) Partial temporary failure of air-ground communications when suitable alternative
frequencies are known to be available and are operative.
f) The lack of apron marshalling services and road traffic control.
g) The unserviceability of location, destination or other instruction signs on the
aerodrome movement area.
h) Parachuting when in uncontrolled airspace under VFR (see 6.3.2.3 m), when
controlled, at promulgated sites or within danger or prohibited areas.
i) Training activities by ground units.
j) Unavailability of back-up and secondary systems if these do not have an
operational impact.
k) Limitations to airport facilities or general services with no operational impact.
l) National regulations not affecting general aviation.
m) Announcement or warnings about possible/potential limitations, without any
operational impact.
n) General reminders on already published information.
o) Availability of equipment for ground units without containing information on the
operational impact for airspace and facility users.
p) Information about laser emissions without any operational impact and fireworks
below minimum flying heights.
q) Closure of movement area parts in connection with planned work locally
coordinated of duration of less than one hour.
r) Closure or unavailability of, or changes in, operation of aerodrome(s)/heliport(s)
outside the aerodrome(s)/heliport(s) operational hours; and
s) Other non-operational information of a similar temporary nature.
1.7 Permanent Changes to the UK Civil AIP
Permanent Changes to the UK AIP are to be submitted using the online process available
from the AIS Portal https://www.aurora.nats.co.uk/
Note: More information about submitting AIP Change Requests and publishing other
aeronautical information products can be found here: https://nats-uk.ead-it.com/cms-
nats/opencms/en/Publications/submit-change-request/
Do not use AFTN to sponsor a Permanent NOTAM, they should be submitted via Aurora
Data Originators Portal as part of the AIP Change Request. However, during out-of-hours,
if a Perm change is imminent and critical to Flight Safety then a temporary NOTAM may
be issued for a maximum of 7 days. The sponsor must submit an AIP CR as soon as
possible but within 7 days.
1.8 Regulatory approvals
Compliance with regulatory approval requirements shall not inhibit the urgent distribution
of aeronautical information necessary to ensure the safety of flight.
Regulatory approvals of items submitted via Aurora Data Originators Portal are sent to
the CAA directly by the AIS.
Notifying the CAA about any temporary changes promulgated via NOTAM, to data items
requiring regulatory approval, remain the responsibility of the Sponsor but UK NOF may be
asked for assistance or coordination.
10th August 2023
3 of 13
UK NOTAM GUIDANCE MATERIAL
When an aerodrome wishes to temporarily increase their declared distance, eg special
events, the AD Operator must obtain prior approval from (SRG) before a NOTAM is
proposed.
Note: More information about regulatory approvals and notifications process is provided
in CAP 1054.
1.9 Permanent Changes to the UK Mil AIP
Military units can issue permanent NOTAM via AFTN; however, the sponsor is to advise
No 1 AIDU as soon as possible to ensure the UK Mil AIP is updated.
Note: UK MIL AIP is available at https://www.aidu.mod.uk/aip/, more information on
submitting changes to the UK MIL AIP and publishing other MIL aeronautical information
products can be found here: https://www.aidu.mod.uk/aip/userSupport.html
1.10 Temporary Changes
The principle means of delivering temporary NOTAM proposals to AIS is by use of the
AFTN. If AFTN is not available due to connectivity issues, then sponsors can email their
proposal to [email protected] using the NOTAM form at the following
address: https://nats-uk.ead-it.com/cms-nats/opencms/en/NOTAM/#NOTAM_REQUEST_FORM
Authorised sponsors that do not have an AFPEX account can sign up for a free NOTAM
only account.
AFPEX can be found here: www.myafpex.co.uk
Apply for an AFPEX account: https://ts1.flightplanningonline.co.uk/applyingForAnAccount.html
AFPEX NOTAM Help/Guide can be found here: https://www.myafpex.co.uk/guides/notam.php
1.11 NOTAM Duration Information of a permanent character
Within three months from the issuing of a permanent NOTAM, the information contained
in the NOTAM shall be included in the aeronautical information products affected (eg AIP,
charts, datasets).
If at the time of NOTAM submission, it is clear that the information is permanent, PERM
NOTAM should be issued. Please see paragraph 1.7 Permanent Changes to the UK Civil
AIP above.
Information of a temporary character
Within three months from the issuing of a temporary NOTAM of long duration, the
information contained in the NOTAM shall be included in other aeronautical information
products.
It means that if at the time of NOTAM submission, it is clear to the Sponsor that the
information is temporary but of long duration, NOTAM can be issued for 90 days, and
other aeronautical information products must be proposed by the Sponsor to promulgate
the information beyond the period of validity of such NOTAM.
When a NOTAM with estimated end of validity unexpectedly exceeds the three-month
period, a replacement NOTAM can be issued once. In each case UK NOF should be made
aware of the re-issuance. A request for a second (and further) re-issuance of the same
NOTAM is subject to CAA’s approval. The CAA may agree to re-issue NOTAM if sufficient
justification is provided by the Sponsor and it is clear that it is necessary to ensure safety
of aircraft operations.
Note: UK NOF records every re-issued NOTAM and provided justification for audit
purposes.

2. Type
2.1 Airspace Activities
Planned Activities such as air exercises, flight trials, air displays, ballooning, kite flying
etc impacting upon normal flying operations must be brought to the attention of other
airspace users. To facilitate this, a department within the CAA, Airspace Regulation (AR)
([email protected] 01293 983880) acts as a focal point to validate and co-ordinate
airspace activities taking place within the UK.
Organisers of such events are required to contact the CAA giving as much notice as
possible. An individual assessment of each activity is conducted by an Airspace Specialist
resulting in an appropriate method of notification on behalf of the organiser.
Note: More information about event and obstacle notification can be found here:
https://www.caa.co.uk/Commercial-industry/Airspace/Event-and-obstacle-
notification/Event-and-obstacle-notification/
2.2 ‘Out-of-Hours’ Nav Warnings
a) When the NOF receives a NOTAM for a Nav Warning request outside the CAA AR
operational hours which has not been de-conflicted by CAA AR, NOF shall inform the
sponsor about the NOTAM policy and advise the sponsor to contact CAA AR, the NOF
should also inform CAA AR about the request.
b) However where there is an urgent need to distribute a NOTAM for a Nav Warning to ensure
safety of operations and when contact with CAA AR is not possible before the start of the
activity (or occurrence of any other hazard to air navigation) and the sponsor has
confirmed that the activity (or hazard) cannot be cancelled (or hazard eliminated) or
delayed, a NOTAM should be published. Both CAA AR and CAA AIMR should be notified via
email including a copy of the NOTAM (marked HIGH IMPORTANCE). CAA AR shall de-
conflict such notifications at the earliest opportunity.
c) It is the Sponsor’s responsibility to notify AR in advance of any planned unusual aerial
activities taking place outside an ATZ to ensure de-confliction of the airspace. Publication
of a NOTAM cannot be considered as a means of notifying the CAA about the activity and
must not be considered as approval for the activity.
d) CAA AR Operational hours for the purpose of the arrangements in this policy are:
a. Mon – Fri 08:30 – 16:30 (excluding UK public bank holidays and notified closed
periods).
e) The above policy is valid for new NOTAM requests as well as changes and cancellations of
published NOTAM for Nav Warnings unless agreed otherwise between CAA AR, NOF and
the sponsor(s).
2.3 Unlicensed Aerodromes
Unlicensed aerodromes with or without an ICAO 4-letter location indicator are able to
propose NOTAM for safety related subjects for facilities and services at their aerodrome.
Such information will be issued as an E Series NOTAM. Unlicensed aerodromes with or
without an AFTN that have unusual aerial activities shall be brought to the attention of
CAA Airspace Regulation who will consider an H series NOTAM.
2.4 En-route Obstacles
The ENR 5.4 section of the UK AIP contains a list of all known obstacles in the UK FIRs
above 100m/328ft AGL. The information includes unique references, obstacle types and
whether lighting is known to be fitted or not. The source of all information published in
this section is the Defence Geographic Centre (DGC).
10th August 2023
5 of 13
UK NOTAM GUIDANCE MATERIAL
If a permanent or temporary change is known to have taken place, e.g. a new en-route
obstacle or a lighting outage, then the CAA must be notified.
Note: More information about event and obstacle notification can be found here:
https://www.caa.co.uk/Commercial-industry/Airspace/Event-and-obstacle-
notification/Event-and-obstacle-notification/
2.5 Aerodrome Obstacles/safeguarding
An aerodrome has the sole responsibility for notifying relevant obstacles affecting
aerodrome operations in accordance with CAP 738 and 785. Consequently, a NOTAM
proposal received by NOF from an aerodrome notifying obstacles can therefore be
regarded as necessary for the purposes of aerodrome safeguarding.
A NOTAM proposal received by NOF from an aerodrome must include –
i.
Type of obstacle.
ii. Obstacle position and location, represented by geographical coordinates in
degrees, minutes, seconds and tenths of seconds if required for accuracy.
iii. Obstacle height in AGL and AMSL in feet
iv. Obstacle marking, and type and colour of obstacle lighting (if any).
(NOF will defer to proposer if any of these criteria are missing.)
The NOF will promulgate the NOTAM as scope ‘AE’ thereby ensuring the information is
included in an aerodrome PIB and En-route PIB.
CAA/AR section propose ‘N’ series (En-route) NOTAM for obstacles over 100m/328ft AGL
and not affecting aerodrome operations that are notified to CAA by owners/operators.
Obstacles above 100m/328ft AGL that are outside of the safeguarding area, but within
an aerodrome’s controlled airspace shall be promulgated using scope ‘AE’ thereby
ensuring the information will appear in an aerodrome (PIB) and En-route PIB.
2.6 Aerodrome NOTAM Processing
If the obstacle is assessed as affecting more than one licensed aerodrome, then additional
NOTAM may be issued to ensure that the notification appears on all relevant PIB. One
NOTAM will be scoped as AE (Aerodrome and En-route), any additional NOTAM will be
scoped A to identify other affected aerodrome/s.
2.7 New/Temporary obstacles regarding the safe operation of aircraft
All obstacles over 100 m (328ft) AGL are to be notified to the CAA. It is mandatory to
notify the CAA of any obstacle of a height of 100m AGL and more. This requirement
applies regardless of where the obstacle is located.
Obstacles within aerodrome notification areas should be notified to the relevant
aerodrome operator.
Occasionally unverified reports are received from the public describing the presence of
an obstacle. In response to any report received ‘out of hours’, AIS will raise a NOTAM
containing a statement “UNVERIFIED REPORT OF OBSTACLE” until verification by the CAA
or MAMC can take place.

2.11 Firework Displays
Information relating to firework displays that do not exceed 1000ft AGL will only routinely
be promulgated by NOTAM if the display falls within the area defined in Annex B to CAP
736. NOTAM action may also be taken if the display lies inside CAS or close to known
low-level aircraft routes.
3. NOTAM
3.1 The AFTN NOTAM Proposal
As a general principle, each submission should deal with only one subject and one
condition. Avoid sending a NOTAM proposal that describes a multitude of disconnected
subjects. The information must be clear and unambiguous giving the reader the ability
to quickly assess the impact.
Be mindful that the information will be delivered to an international audience where a
great many recipients will not have English as their primary language.
All proposals should be transmitted to the UK NOF using the AFTN address EUECYIYP.
This address is used by those NOF Offices that have adopted the European AIS Database
(EAD) service for broadcasting their NOTAM.
When composing the NOTAM Proposal, it is important that the first line of text is
constructed according to an explicit format. The message is to be prefixed with the type
10th August 2023
7 of 13
UK NOTAM GUIDANCE MATERIAL
of NOTAM i.e. NOTAMN to announce a new NOTAM, NOTAMR to replace a current
NOTAM and NOTAMC to cancel a NOTAM.
The use of PROPOSAL EGGN in the first line of text is compulsory and signifies that the
message is for the attention of the UK NOTAM Office.
After the first line, the message can take any format. The closer the content is aligned to
the NOTAM format the quicker AIS will be able to process the message for distribution.
Some examples follow:
NOTAMN PROPOSAL EGGN
EASTERN TAXIWAY CLOSED DUE RESURFACING
FROM 0800 TO 2300 ON 24 JAN

NOTAMR PROPOSAL EGGN A0123/12
EXTEND NOTAM A0123/12 UNTIL 28 JUN 1500 DUE CONTINUED OUTAGE
3.2 NOTAM Format
NOTAM are required to conform to an explicit template. Using the example below, an
explanation of the format follows:
A1234/14 NOTAMN
Q) EGTT/QMRLC/IV/NBO/A/000/999/5129N00028W005
A) EGLL
B) 1408231500 C) 1409310500
D) 1500-1600, 0430-0500
E) RWY 09R/27L CLOSED DUE WIP
3.3 The NOTAM Construct:
A1234/13 represents the NOTAM Series, followed by a sequential 4-digit number,
followed by two digits to indicate the year. (Max 9999/YY).
NOTAMN Indicates this is a new NOTAM. Other options are R for NOTAM replacing
another or C for one cancelling another. Replacement NOTAM can only be used to replace
a NOTAM that is already in effect
Q) EGTT/QMRLC/IV/NBO/A/000/999/5129N00028W005
The Qualifying line, or Q Line, is an AIS tool used to categorise the NOTAM according to
its scope. It consists of up to eight fields separated by a stroke (/) comprising FIR, Q
Code, Traffic, Purpose, Scope, Vertical Limits, Co-ordinates and Radius.
EGTT is an ICAO code, identifying the (London) FIR to which the NOTAM refers. Should
the activity take place in more than one FIR then the code EGXX is applied and the
specific FIRS affected are inserted into field A of the NOTAM
QMRLC is a 5 letter NOTAM code identifying subject and status. In this case MR is a
Runway, LC indicates a closed status. IV indicates that this information is significant for
both IFR and VFR operations while NBO indicates a message for immediate attention, for
inclusion in a PIB and operationally significant.
10th August 2023
8 of 13
UK NOTAM GUIDANCE MATERIAL
A represents the scope which in this case is an Aerodrome NOTAM as opposed to an En-
Route E NOTAM or Navigation Warning W. Combinations AE and AW can also be applied
according to the subject being described.
000/999 represents the lower and upper limits expressed as a flight level. In this case
it is left as a default as it is not applicable.
5129N00028W005 is the ‘Centre point’ using degrees and minutes followed by a radius
of influence. In this case the default value of 5NM has been applied based on the
aerodrome ARP. A default radius of 999 is applied for NOTAM that cannot be associated
to a specific area and for those that affect the whole FIR.
Position (Where)
A) EGLL is the ICAO code of the aerodrome (Heathrow). While it is possible to insert
more than one FIR into this field, it is only possible to enter one Aerodrome. This means
that separate NOTAM are required if the impact is on two or more aerodromes.
Effective from (Begins)
B) 1408231500 is the Date/time group in UTC when the NOTAM becomes effective.
Year, Month, Day, Time. NOTAM used to replace or cancel other NOTAM can only be
issued With Immediate Effect (WIE) and cannot have a future effective (start) date.
Effective until (Finishes)
C) 1409310500 is the Date/time group in UTC when the NOTAM ceases to be effective.
Temporary NOTAM shall exist no longer than 90 days.
Where an expiry date/time can only be estimated EST may be included in Field C for
temporary NOTAM. Sponsors shall take action to cancel or replace the NOTAM before the
EST expiry time.
Planned Schedule (Optional)
D) 1500-1630, 0430-0500 this provides the opportunity to describe a schedule of
events within the effective date of the NOTAM. This is particularly useful for events that
take place over a period of days or weeks. Irregular schedules that do not meet certain
criteria will have to be described in the plain language part of the NOTAM
Plain Language (Free-text)
E) RWY 09R/27L CLOSED DUE WIP is the textual part of the NOTAM indicating that
Runway 09/27 is closed due to work in progress.
This item describes the ‘subject’ and ‘condition’ and is probably the most important part
of the message. The information should be explicit giving the reader the ability to quickly
assess the impact to their operation.
Start with a ‘headline’ to describe the subject and event e.g. RWY…CLOSED, TWY… WIP,
DANGER AREA … ACTIVATED, FREQUENCY … U/S. After which supplemental information
may be considered to describe the impact.
Avoid information that may be considered as ‘nice to have’ or complementary. Use
internationally recognised abbreviations (as per ICAO Doc 8400) unless their use creates
misunderstanding. A list of abbreviations is available in the General (GEN) section of the
AIP but note that National abbreviations (in italics) cannot be used for NOTAM.
10th August 2023

UK NOTAM GUIDANCE MATERIAL
Use of Coordinates
If there is a requirement to describe an area or polygon, the provision of coordinates
Degrees/Minutes/Seconds shall be used e.g. 521049N 0012035W. When describing an
area repeat the first coordinate in full to close the polygon.
Supplementary Information
The judgment needed to assess the extent of information required in a NOTAM can be
problematical. Too much information can serve to overwhelm the reader, whereas not
enough information will fail to provide them with an opportunity to assess the impact on
the operation.
Guidance in composing the text of a NOTAM can be obtained by contacting the NOTAM
Office directly to establish that the proposal clearly captures the objective.
Vertical Parameters
Fields F & G describe lower and upper limits. They are not used for Aerodrome NOTAM
scoped A; however, they are used for airspace notifications such as navigation warnings,
airspace reservations and Danger Area activities. The sponsor should ensure that
appropriate values are included in the NOTAM proposal e.g. FL090, 3000FT AMSL.
When the values in Fields F and G are expressed as a flight level (FL) or altitude (AMSL)
the associated FL values will also be applied in the Q Line. It is recommended that the
use of AGL is avoided in fields F & G, as it demands a calculation based upon the highest
terrain elevation for the region or FIR.
3.4 Transmission
NOTAM are automatically transmitted by AFTN to the distribution list managed by UK
NOF. Requests to amend the AFTN distribution lists used for NOTAM shall be directed to
the UK NOF using email address: [email protected].

Introduction This guidance has been created with the objective of supporting NOTAM sponsors in the preparation and submission phase to enable clear and concise provision of information to its readers. 1. 1 NOTAM Definition - (ICAO Annex 15) “A notice distributed by means of telecommunication containing information concerning the establishment, condition or change in any aeronautical facility, service, procedure or hazard, the timely knowledge of which is essential to personnel concerned with flight operations. ” 1. 2 NOTAM Proliferation Statistics indicate that the number of NOTAM being distributed globally continues to escalate. The UK NOTAM office alone transmits in excess of 5558 NOTAM every month. As the complexities around services and facilities increase, so the requirement to deliver consistent information in an accurate and timely manner becomes vital. 1. 3 NOTAM Sponsorship In practical terms planned changes to facilities and services affecting the safe operation of aircraft should be notified to AIS giving as much notice as possible"

One NOTAM will be scoped as AE (Aerodrome and En-route), any additional NOTAM will be scoped A to identify other affected aerodrome/s. 2. 7 New/Temporary obstacles regarding the safe operation of aircraft All obstacles over 100 m (328ft) AGL are to be notified to the CAA. It is mandatory to notify the CAA of any obstacle of a height of 100m AGL and more. This requirement applies regardless of where the obstacle is located. Obstacles within aerodrome notification areas should be notified to the relevant aerodrome operator. Occasionally unverified reports are received from the public describing the presence of an obstacle. In response to any report received ‘out of hours’, AIS will raise a NOTAM containing a statement “UNVERIFIED REPORT OF OBSTACLE” until verification by the CAA or MAMC can take place.

Introduction This guidance has been created with the objective of supporting NOTAM sponsors in the preparation and submission phase to enable clear and concise provision of information to its readers. 1. 1 NOTAM Definition - (ICAO Annex 15) “A notice distributed by means of telecommunication containing information concerning the establishment, condition or change in any aeronautical facility, service, procedure or hazard, the timely knowledge of which is essential to personnel concerned with flight operations. ” 1. 2 NOTAM Proliferation Statistics indicate that the number of NOTAM being distributed globally continues to escalate. The UK NOTAM office alone transmits in excess of 5558 NOTAM every month. As the complexities around services and facilities increase, so the requirement to deliver consistent information in an accurate and timely manner becomes vital. 1. 3 NOTAM Sponsorship In practical terms planned changes to facilities and services affecting the safe operation of aircraft should be notified to AIS giving as much notice as possible",

" long duration, the information contained in the NOTAM shall be included in other aeronautical information products. It means that if at the time of NOTAM submission, it is clear to the Sponsor that the information is temporary but of long duration, NOTAM can be issued for 90 days, and other aeronautical information products must be proposed by the Sponsor to promulgate the information beyond the period of validity of such NOTAM. When a NOTAM with estimated end of validity unexpectedly exceeds the three-month period, a replacement NOTAM can be issued once. In each case UK NOF should be made aware of the re-issuance. A request for a second (and further) re-issuance of the same NOTAM is subject to CAA’s approval. The CAA may agree to re-issue NOTAM if sufficient justification is provided by the Sponsor and it is clear that it is necessary to ensure safety of aircraft operations. Note: UK NOF records every re-issued NOTAM and provided justification for audit purposes. 10th August 2023 4 of 13 \fUK NOTAM GUIDANCE MATERIAL 2. Type 2. 1 Airspace Activities Planned Activities such as air exercises, flight trials, air displays, ballooning, kite flying etc impacting upon normal flying operations must be brought to the attention of other airspace users. To facilitate this, a department within the CAA, Airspace Regulation (AR) (arops@caa. co. uk 01293 983880) acts as a focal point to validate and co-ordinate airspace activities taking place within the UK.",
" value of 5NM has been applied based on the aerodrome ARP. A default radius of 999 is applied for NOTAM that cannot be associated to a specific area and for those that affect the whole FIR. Position (Where) A) EGLL is the ICAO code of the aerodrome (Heathrow). While it is possible to insert more than one FIR into this field, it is only possible to enter one Aerodrome. This means that separate NOTAM are required if the impact is on two or more aerodromes. Effective from (Begins) B) 1408231500 is the Date/time group in UTC when the NOTAM becomes effective. Year, Month, Day, Time. NOTAM used to replace or cancel other NOTAM can only be issued With Immediate Effect (WIE) and cannot have a future effective (start) date. Effective until (Finishes) C) 1409310500 is the Date/time group in UTC when the NOTAM ceases to be effective. Temporary NOTAM shall exist no longer than 90 days. Where an expiry date/time can only be estimated EST may be included in Field C for temporary NOTAM. Sponsors shall take action to cancel or replace the NOTAM before the EST expiry time. Planned Schedule (Optional) D) 1500-1630, 0430-0500 this provides the opportunity to describe a schedule of events within the effective date of the NOTAM. This is particularly useful for events that take place over a period of days or weeks. Irregular schedules that do not meet certain criteria will have to be described in the plain language part of the NOT",
"AM Plain Language (Free-text) E) RWY 09R/27L CLOSED DUE WIP is the textual part of the NOTAM indicating that Runway 09/27 is closed due to work in progress. This item describes the ‘subject’ and ‘condition’ and is probably the most important part of the message. The information should be explicit giving the reader the ability to quickly assess the impact to their operation. Start with a ‘headline’ to describe the subject and event e. g. RWY…CLOSED, TWY… WIP, DANGER AREA … ACTIVATED, FREQUENCY … U/S. After which supplemental information may be considered to describe the impact. Avoid information that may be considered as ‘nice to have’ or complementary. Use internationally recognised abbreviations (as per ICAO Doc 8400) unless their use creates misunderstanding. A list of abbreviations is available in the General (GEN) section of the AIP but note that National abbreviations (in italics) cannot be used for NOTAM. 10th August 2023 9 of 13 \fUK NOTAM GUIDANCE MATERIAL Use of Coordinates If there is a requirement to describe an area or polygon, the provision of coordinates Degrees/Minutes/Seconds shall be used e. g. 521049N 0012035W. When describing an area repeat the first coordinate in full to close the polygon. Supplementary Information The judgment needed to assess the extent of information required in a NOTAM can be problematical. Too much information can serve to overwhelm the reader, whereas not enough information will fail to provide them with an opportunity to assess the impact on the operation. Guidance in composing the text of a NOTAM can be obtained by contacting the NOTAM Office directly to"

1. Introduction
This guidance has been created with the objective of supporting NOTAM sponsors in the
preparation and submission phase to enable clear and concise provision of information to its
readers.
1.1 NOTAM Definition - (ICAO Annex 15)
“A notice distributed by means of telecommunication containing information concerning
the establishment, condition or change in any aeronautical facility, service, procedure or
hazard, the timely knowledge of which is essential to personnel concerned with flight
operations.”
1.2 NOTAM Proliferation
Statistics indicate that the number of NOTAM being distributed globally continues to
escalate. The UK NOTAM office alone transmits in excess of 5558 NOTAM every month.
As the complexities around services and facilities increase, so the requirement to deliver
consistent information in an accurate and timely manner becomes vital.
1.3 NOTAM Sponsorship
In practical terms planned changes to facilities and services affecting the safe operation
of aircraft should be notified to AIS giving as much notice as possible. While un-
serviceable and un-planned events can only be announced as they occur.
1.4 Assessment Process
If a hazard is assessed as having a significant impact on the safe operation of an aircraft
or a change to the information published in the AIP has taken place, then a NOTAM may
be considered to announce the circumstances.
1.5 A NOTAM shall be considered for the following:
a) Establishment, closure or significant changes in operation of aerodrome(s) or
heliport(s) or runways.
b) Establishment, withdrawal or significant changes in operation of aeronautical
services (aerodromes, AIS, ATS, communications, navigation and surveillance
(CNS), meteorology (MET), search and rescue (SAR), etc.).
c) Establishment, withdrawal or significant changes in operational capability of radio
navigation and air-ground communication services. This includes: interruption or
return to operation, change of frequencies, change in notified hours of service,
change of identification, change of orientation (directional aids), change of
location, power increase or decrease amounting to 50 per cent or more, change
in broadcast schedules or contents, or irregularity or unreliability of operation of
any radio navigation and air-ground communication services or limitations of relay
stations including operational impact, affected service, frequency and area;
d) Unavailability of back-up and secondary systems, having a direct operational
impact.
e) Establishment, withdrawal or significant changes to visual aids.

UK NOTAM GUIDANCE MATERIAL
f) Interruption of or return to operation of major components of aerodrome lighting
systems.
g) Establishment, withdrawal or significant changes to procedures for air navigation
services.
h) Occurrence or correction of major defects or impediments in the manoeuvring
area.
i) Changes to and limitations on availability of fuel, oil and oxygen.
j) Major changes to search and rescue facilities and services available.
k) Establishment, withdrawal or return to operation of hazard beacons marking
obstacles to air navigation.
l) Changes in regulations requiring immediate action, eg prohibited areas for SAR
action.
m) Presence of hazards not otherwise promulgated, which affect air navigation
(including obstacles, military exercises and operations, intentional and
unintentional radio frequency interferences, rocket launches, displays, fireworks,
sky lanterns, rocket debris, races and major parachuting events.
n) Conflict zones which affect air navigation (to include information that is as
specific as possible regarding the nature and extent of threats of that conflict
and its consequences for civil aviation)
o) Planned laser emissions, laser displays and search lights if pilots’ night vision is
likely to be impaired.
p) Erecting or removal of, or changes to, obstacles to air navigation in the take-
off/climb, missed approach, approach areas and runway strip.
q) Establishment or discontinuance (including activation or deactivation) as
applicable, or changes in the status of prohibited, restricted or danger areas.
r) Establishment or discontinuance of areas or routes or portions thereof where the
possibility of interception exists and where the maintenance of guard on the VHF
emergency frequency 121.5 MHz is required.
s) Allocation, cancellation or change of location indicators.
t) Changes in aerodrome/heliport rescue and firefighting category provided (see
Annex 14, Volume I, Chapter 9, and Attachment A, Section 17).
u) Presence or removal of, or significant changes in, hazardous conditions due to
snow, slush, ice, radioactive material, toxic chemicals, volcanic ash deposition or
water on the movement area.
v) Outbreaks of epidemics necessitating changes in notified requirements for
inoculations and quarantine measures.
w) Observations or forecasts of space weather phenomena, the date and time of
their occurrence, the flight levels where provided and portions of the airspace
which may be affected by the phenomena.
x) An operationally significant change in volcanic activity, the location, date and
time of volcanic eruptions and/or horizontal and vertical extent of volcanic ash
cloud, including direction of movement, flight levels and routes or portions of
routes which could be affected.
y) Release into the atmosphere of radioactive materials or toxic chemicals following
a nuclear or chemical incident, the location, date and time of the incident, the
flight levels and routes or portions thereof which could be affected and the
direction of movement.
z) Establishment of operations of humanitarian relief missions, such as those
undertaken under the auspices of the United Nations, together with procedures
and/or limitations which affect air navigation; and
aa) Implementation of short-term contingency measures in cases of disruption, or
partial disruption, of ATS and related supporting services
1.6 The following information shall not be notified by NOTAM:
a) Routine maintenance work on aprons and taxiways which does not affect the
safe movement of aircraft.
b) Runway marking work, when aircraft operations can safely be conducted on
other available runways, or the equipment used can be removed when
necessary.

c) Temporary obstructions in the vicinity of aerodromes/heliports that do not affect
the safe operation of aircraft.
d) Partial failure of aerodrome/heliport lighting facilities where such failure does not
directly affect aircraft operations.
e) Partial temporary failure of air-ground communications when suitable alternative
frequencies are known to be available and are operative.
f) The lack of apron marshalling services and road traffic control.
g) The unserviceability of location, destination or other instruction signs on the
aerodrome movement area.
h) Parachuting when in uncontrolled airspace under VFR (see 6.3.2.3 m), when
controlled, at promulgated sites or within danger or prohibited areas.
i) Training activities by ground units.
j) Unavailability of back-up and secondary systems if these do not have an
operational impact.
k) Limitations to airport facilities or general services with no operational impact.
l) National regulations not affecting general aviation.

operational impact for airspace and facility users.
p) Information about laser emissions without any operational impact and fireworks
below minimum flying heights.
q) Closure of movement area parts in connection with planned work locally
coordinated of duration of less than one hour.
r) Closure or unavailability of, or changes in, operation of aerodrome(s)/heliport(s)
outside the aerodrome(s)/heliport(s) operational hours; and
s) Other non-operational information of a similar temporary nature.
1.7 Permanent Changes to the UK Civil AIP
Permanent Changes to the UK AIP are to be submitted using the online process available
from the AIS Portal https://www.aurora.nats.co.uk/
Note: More information about submitting AIP Change Requests and publishing other
aeronautical information products can be found here: https://nats-uk.ead-it.com/cms-
nats/opencms/en/Publications/submit-change-request/
Do not use AFTN to sponsor a Permanent NOTAM, they should be submitted via Aurora
Data Originators Portal as part of the AIP Change Request. However, during out-of-hours,
if a Perm change is imminent and critical to Flight Safety then a temporary NOTAM may
be issued for a maximum of 7 days. The sponsor must submit an AIP CR as soon as
possible but within 7 days.
1.8 Regulatory approvals
Compliance with regulatory approval requirements shall not inhibit the urgent distribution
of aeronautical information necessary to ensure the safety of flight.
Regulatory approvals of items submitted via Aurora Data Originators Portal are sent to
the CAA directly by the AIS.
Notifying the CAA about any temporary changes promulgated via NOTAM, to data items
requiring regulatory approval, remain the responsibility of the Sponsor but UK NOF may be
asked for assistance or coordination.
10th August 2023
3 of 13
UK NOTAM GUIDANCE MATERIAL
When an aerodrome wishes to temporarily increase their declared distance, eg special
events, the AD Operator must obtain prior approval from (SRG) before a NOTAM is
proposed.
Note: More information about regulatory approvals and notifications process is provided
in CAP 1054.
1.9 Permanent Changes to the UK Mil AIP
Military units can issue permanent NOTAM via AFTN; however, the sponsor is to advise
No 1 AIDU as soon as possible to ensure the UK Mil AIP is updated.
Note: UK MIL AIP is available at https://www.aidu.mod.uk/aip/, more information on
submitting changes to the UK MIL AIP and publishing other MIL aeronautical information
products can be found here: https://www.aidu.mod.uk/aip/userSupport.html
1.10 Temporary Changes
The principle means of delivering temporary NOTAM proposals to AIS is by use of the
AFTN. If AFTN is not available due to connectivity issues, then sponsors can email their
proposal to [email protected] using the NOTAM form at the following
address: https://nats-uk.ead-it.com/cms-nats/opencms/en/NOTAM/#NOTAM_REQUEST_FORM
Authorised sponsors that do not have an AFPEX account can sign up for a free NOTAM
only account.
AFPEX can be found here: www.myafpex.co.uk
Apply for an AFPEX account: https://ts1.flightplanningonline.co.uk/applyingForAnAccount.html
AFPEX NOTAM Help/Guide can be found here: https://www.myafpex.co.uk/guides/notam.php
1.11 NOTAM Duration Information of a permanent character
Within three months from the issuing of a permanent NOTAM, the information contained
in the NOTAM shall be included in the aeronautical information products affected (eg AIP,
charts, datasets).
If at the time of NOTAM submission, it is clear that the information is permanent, PERM
NOTAM should be issued. Please see paragraph 1.7 Permanent Changes to the UK Civil
AIP above.
Information of a temporary character
Within three months from the issuing of a temporary NOTAM of long duration, the
information contained in the NOTAM shall be included in other aeronautical information
products.
It means that if at the time of NOTAM submission, it is clear to the Sponsor that the
information is temporary but of long duration, NOTAM can be issued for 90 days, and
other aeronautical information products must be proposed by the Sponsor to promulgate
the information beyond the period of validity of such NOTAM.
When a NOTAM with estimated end of validity unexpectedly exceeds the three-month
period, a replacement NOTAM can be issued once. In each case UK NOF should be made
aware of the re-issuance. A request for a second (and further) re-issuance of the same
NOTAM is subject to CAA’s approval. The CAA may agree to re-issue NOTAM if sufficient
justification is provided by the Sponsor and it is clear that it is necessary to ensure safety
of aircraft operations.
Note: UK NOF records every re-issued NOTAM and provided justification for audit
purposes.

2. Type
2.1 Airspace Activities
Planned Activities such as air exercises, flight trials, air displays, ballooning, kite flying
etc impacting upon normal flying operations must be brought to the attention of other
airspace users. To facilitate this, a department within the CAA, Airspace Regulation (AR)
([email protected] 01293 983880) acts as a focal point to validate and co-ordinate
airspace activities taking place within the UK.
Organisers of such events are required to contact the CAA giving as much notice as
possible. An individual assessment of each activity is conducted by an Airspace Specialist
resulting in an appropriate method of notification on behalf of the organiser.
Note: More information about event and obstacle notification can be found here:
https://www.caa.co.uk/Commercial-industry/Airspace/Event-and-obstacle-
notification/Event-and-obstacle-notification/
2.2 ‘Out-of-Hours’ Nav Warnings
a) When the NOF receives a NOTAM for a Nav Warning request outside the CAA AR
operational hours which has not been de-conflicted by CAA AR, NOF shall inform the
sponsor about the NOTAM policy and advise the sponsor to contact CAA AR, the NOF
should also inform CAA AR about the request.
b) However where there is an urgent need to distribute a NOTAM for a Nav Warning to ensure
safety of operations and when contact with CAA AR is not possible before the start of the
activity (or occurrence of any other hazard to air navigation) and the sponsor has
confirmed that the activity (or hazard) cannot be cancelled (or hazard eliminated) or
delayed, a NOTAM should be published. Both CAA AR and CAA AIMR should be notified via
email including a copy of the NOTAM (marked HIGH IMPORTANCE). CAA AR shall de-
conflict such notifications at the earliest opportunity.
c) It is the Sponsor’s responsibility to notify AR in advance of any planned unusual aerial
activities taking place outside an ATZ to ensure de-confliction of the airspace. Publication
of a NOTAM cannot be considered as a means of notifying the CAA about the activity and
must not be considered as approval for the activity.
d) CAA AR Operational hours for the purpose of the arrangements in this policy are:
a. Mon – Fri 08:30 – 16:30 (excluding UK public bank holidays and notified closed
periods).
e) The above policy is valid for new NOTAM requests as well as changes and cancellations of
published NOTAM for Nav Warnings unless agreed otherwise between CAA AR, NOF and
the sponsor(s).
2.3 Unlicensed Aerodromes
Unlicensed aerodromes with or without an ICAO 4-letter location indicator are able to
propose NOTAM for safety related subjects for facilities and services at their aerodrome.
Such information will be issued as an E Series NOTAM. Unlicensed aerodromes with or
without an AFTN that have unusual aerial activities shall be brought to the attention of
CAA Airspace Regulation who will consider an H series NOTAM.
2.4 En-route Obstacles
The ENR 5.4 section of the UK AIP contains a list of all known obstacles in the UK FIRs
above 100m/328ft AGL. The information includes unique references, obstacle types and
whether lighting is known to be fitted or not. The source of all information published in
this section is the Defence Geographic Centre (DGC).
10th August 2023
5 of 13
UK NOTAM GUIDANCE MATERIAL
If a permanent or temporary change is known to have taken place, e.g. a new en-route
obstacle or a lighting outage, then the CAA must be notified.
Note: More information about event and obstacle notification can be found here:
https://www.caa.co.uk/Commercial-industry/Airspace/Event-and-obstacle-
notification/Event-and-obstacle-notification/
2.5 Aerodrome Obstacles/safeguarding
An aerodrome has the sole responsibility for notifying relevant obstacles affecting
aerodrome operations in accordance with CAP 738 and 785. Consequently, a NOTAM
proposal received by NOF from an aerodrome notifying obstacles can therefore be
regarded as necessary for the purposes of aerodrome safeguarding.
A NOTAM proposal received by NOF from an aerodrome must include –
i.
Type of obstacle.
ii. Obstacle position and location, represented by geographical coordinates in
degrees, minutes, seconds and tenths of seconds if required for accuracy.
iii. Obstacle height in AGL and AMSL in feet
iv. Obstacle marking, and type and colour of obstacle lighting (if any).
(NOF will defer to proposer if any of these criteria are missing.)
The NOF will promulgate the NOTAM as scope ‘AE’ thereby ensuring the information is
included in an aerodrome PIB and En-route PIB.
CAA/AR section propose ‘N’ series (En-route) NOTAM for obstacles over 100m/328ft AGL
and not affecting aerodrome operations that are notified to CAA by owners/operators.
Obstacles above 100m/328ft AGL that are outside of the safeguarding area, but within
an aerodrome’s controlled airspace shall be promulgated using scope ‘AE’ thereby
ensuring the information will appear in an aerodrome (PIB) and En-route PIB.
2.6 Aerodrome NOTAM Processing
If the obstacle is assessed as affecting more than one licensed aerodrome, then additional
NOTAM may be issued to ensure that the notification appears on all relevant PIB. One
NOTAM will be scoped as AE (Aerodrome and En-route), any additional NOTAM will be
scoped A to identify other affected aerodrome/s.
2.7 New/Temporary obstacles regarding the safe operation of aircraft
All obstacles over 100 m (328ft) AGL are to be notified to the CAA. It is mandatory to
notify the CAA of any obstacle of a height of 100m AGL and more. This requirement
applies regardless of where the obstacle is located.
Obstacles within aerodrome notification areas should be notified to the relevant
aerodrome operator.
Occasionally unverified reports are received from the public describing the presence of
an obstacle. In response to any report received ‘out of hours’, AIS will raise a NOTAM
containing a statement “UNVERIFIED REPORT OF OBSTACLE” until verification by the CAA
or MAMC can take place.

2.11 Firework Displays
Information relating to firework displays that do not exceed 1000ft AGL will only routinely
be promulgated by NOTAM if the display falls within the area defined in Annex B to CAP
736. NOTAM action may also be taken if the display lies inside CAS or close to known
low-level aircraft routes.
3. NOTAM
3.1 The AFTN NOTAM Proposal
As a general principle, each submission should deal with only one subject and one
condition. Avoid sending a NOTAM proposal that describes a multitude of disconnected
subjects. The information must be clear and unambiguous giving the reader the ability
to quickly assess the impact.
Be mindful that the information will be delivered to an international audience where a
great many recipients will not have English as their primary language.
All proposals should be transmitted to the UK NOF using the AFTN address EUECYIYP.
This address is used by those NOF Offices that have adopted the European AIS Database
(EAD) service for broadcasting their NOTAM.
When composing the NOTAM Proposal, it is important that the first line of text is
constructed according to an explicit format. The message is to be prefixed with the type
10th August 2023
7 of 13
UK NOTAM GUIDANCE MATERIAL
of NOTAM i.e. NOTAMN to announce a new NOTAM, NOTAMR to replace a current
NOTAM and NOTAMC to cancel a NOTAM.
The use of PROPOSAL EGGN in the first line of text is compulsory and signifies that the
message is for the attention of the UK NOTAM Office.
After the first line, the message can take any format. The closer the content is aligned to
the NOTAM format the quicker AIS will be able to process the message for distribution.
Some examples follow:
NOTAMN PROPOSAL EGGN
EASTERN TAXIWAY CLOSED DUE RESURFACING
FROM 0800 TO 2300 ON 24 JAN

NOTAMR PROPOSAL EGGN A0123/12
EXTEND NOTAM A0123/12 UNTIL 28 JUN 1500 DUE CONTINUED OUTAGE
3.2 NOTAM Format
NOTAM are required to conform to an explicit template. Using the example below, an
explanation of the format follows:
A1234/14 NOTAMN
Q) EGTT/QMRLC/IV/NBO/A/000/999/5129N00028W005
A) EGLL
B) 1408231500 C) 1409310500
D) 1500-1600, 0430-0500
E) RWY 09R/27L CLOSED DUE WIP
3.3 The NOTAM Construct:
A1234/13 represents the NOTAM Series, followed by a sequential 4-digit number,
followed by two digits to indicate the year. (Max 9999/YY).
NOTAMN Indicates this is a new NOTAM. Other options are R for NOTAM replacing
another or C for one cancelling another. Replacement NOTAM can only be used to replace
a NOTAM that is already in effect
Q) EGTT/QMRLC/IV/NBO/A/000/999/5129N00028W005
The Qualifying line, or Q Line, is an AIS tool used to categorise the NOTAM according to
its scope. It consists of up to eight fields separated by a stroke (/) comprising FIR, Q
Code, Traffic, Purpose, Scope, Vertical Limits, Co-ordinates and Radius.
EGTT is an ICAO code, identifying the (London) FIR to which the NOTAM refers. Should
the activity take place in more than one FIR then the code EGXX is applied and the
specific FIRS affected are inserted into field A of the NOTAM
QMRLC is a 5 letter NOTAM code identifying subject and status. In this case MR is a
Runway, LC indicates a closed status. IV indicates that this information is significant for
both IFR and VFR operations while NBO indicates a message for immediate attention, for
inclusion in a PIB and operationally significant.
10th August 2023
8 of 13
UK NOTAM GUIDANCE MATERIAL
A represents the scope which in this case is an Aerodrome NOTAM as opposed to an En-
Route E NOTAM or Navigation Warning W. Combinations AE and AW can also be applied
according to the subject being described.
000/999 represents the lower and upper limits expressed as a flight level. In this case
it is left as a default as it is not applicable.
5129N00028W005 is the ‘Centre point’ using degrees and minutes followed by a radius
of influence. In this case the default value of 5NM has been applied based on the
aerodrome ARP. A default radius of 999 is applied for NOTAM that cannot be associated
to a specific area and for those that affect the whole FIR.
Position (Where)
A) EGLL is the ICAO code of the aerodrome (Heathrow). While it is possible to insert
more than one FIR into this field, it is only possible to enter one Aerodrome. This means
that separate NOTAM are required if the impact is on two or more aerodromes.
Effective from (Begins)
B) 1408231500 is the Date/time group in UTC when the NOTAM becomes effective.
Year, Month, Day, Time. NOTAM used to replace or cancel other NOTAM can only be
issued With Immediate Effect (WIE) and cannot have a future effective (start) date.
Effective until (Finishes)
C) 1409310500 is the Date/time group in UTC when the NOTAM ceases to be effective.
Temporary NOTAM shall exist no longer than 90 days.
Where an expiry date/time can only be estimated EST may be included in Field C for
temporary NOTAM. Sponsors shall take action to cancel or replace the NOTAM before the
EST expiry time.
Planned Schedule (Optional)
D) 1500-1630, 0430-0500 this provides the opportunity to describe a schedule of
events within the effective date of the NOTAM. This is particularly useful for events that
take place over a period of days or weeks. Irregular schedules that do not meet certain
criteria will have to be described in the plain language part of the NOTAM
Plain Language (Free-text)
E) RWY 09R/27L CLOSED DUE WIP is the textual part of the NOTAM indicating that
Runway 09/27 is closed due to work in progress.
This item describes the ‘subject’ and ‘condition’ and is probably the most important part
of the message. The information should be explicit giving the reader the ability to quickly
assess the impact to their operation.
Start with a ‘headline’ to describe the subject and event e.g. RWY…CLOSED, TWY… WIP,
DANGER AREA … ACTIVATED, FREQUENCY … U/S. After which supplemental information
may be considered to describe the impact.
Avoid information that may be considered as ‘nice to have’ or complementary. Use
internationally recognised abbreviations (as per ICAO Doc 8400) unless their use creates
misunderstanding. A list of abbreviations is available in the General (GEN) section of the
AIP but note that National abbreviations (in italics) cannot be used for NOTAM.
10th August 2023

UK NOTAM GUIDANCE MATERIAL
Use of Coordinates
If there is a requirement to describe an area or polygon, the provision of coordinates
Degrees/Minutes/Seconds shall be used e.g. 521049N 0012035W. When describing an
area repeat the first coordinate in full to close the polygon.
Supplementary Information
The judgment needed to assess the extent of information required in a NOTAM can be
problematical. Too much information can serve to overwhelm the reader, whereas not
enough information will fail to provide them with an opportunity to assess the impact on
the operation.
Guidance in composing the text of a NOTAM can be obtained by contacting the NOTAM
Office directly to establish that the proposal clearly captures the objective.
Vertical Parameters
Fields F & G describe lower and upper limits. They are not used for Aerodrome NOTAM
scoped A; however, they are used for airspace notifications such as navigation warnings,
airspace reservations and Danger Area activities. The sponsor should ensure that
appropriate values are included in the NOTAM proposal e.g. FL090, 3000FT AMSL.
When the values in Fields F and G are expressed as a flight level (FL) or altitude (AMSL)
the associated FL values will also be applied in the Q Line. It is recommended that the
use of AGL is avoided in fields F & G, as it demands a calculation based upon the highest
terrain elevation for the region or FIR.
3.4 Transmission
NOTAM are automatically transmitted by AFTN to the distribution list managed by UK
NOF. Requests to amend the AFTN distribution lists used for NOTAM shall be directed to
the UK NOF using email address: [email protected].

Avoid sending a NOTAM proposal that describes a multitude of disconnected subjects. The information must be clear and unambiguous giving the reader the ability to quickly assess the impact. Be mindful that the information will be delivered to an international audience where a great many recipients will not have English as their primary language.

The UK NOTAM office alone transmits in excess of 5558 NOTAM every month. As the complexities around services and facilities increase, so the requirement to deliver consistent information in an accurate and timely manner becomes vital. 1. 3 NOTAM Sponsorship In practical terms planned changes to facilities and services affecting the safe operation of aircraft should be notified to AIS giving as much notice as possible",

They are not used for Aerodrome NOTAM scoped A; however, they are used for airspace notifications such as navigation warnings, airspace reservations and Danger Area activities. The sponsor should ensure that appropriate values are included in the NOTAM proposal e. g. FL090, 3000FT AMSL. When the values in Fields F and G are expressed as a flight level (FL) or altitude (AMSL) the associated FL values will also be applied in the Q Line. It is recommended that the use of AGL is avoided in fields F & G, as it demands a calculation based upon the highest terrain elevation for the region or FIR. 3. 4 Transmission NOTAM are automatically transmitted by AFTN to the distribution list managed by UK NOF. Requests to amend the AFTN distribution lists used for NOTAM shall be directed to the UK NOF using email address: notam. proposals@nats. co. uk. 4.

The following changes are made to align the order with current NOTAM policies/processes and to ensure
compliance with ICAO standards and contractions. These changes include modifying the acronym NOTAM
from Notice to Airmen to the more applicable term Notice to Air Missions. Changes to Field Conditions (FICON)
Reporting have been made regarding updated requirements for Runway Condition Codes (RwyCCs) NOTAMs,
added verbiage that FICON must not be issued for a closed runway, and added verbiage stating RwyCCs are
reported based on direction of assessment allowing for only one set of RwyCCs per runway. This change removes
breaking action report of “good” as NOTAM criteria. This change also removes the reference to the 28−day
publication cycle for International and Domestic Notices. Changes to permanent NOTAM procedures have been
included. Added verbiage to allow for Simplified, Short ALS with Runway Alignment Lights temporarily
changed as NOTAM criteria. Previously, unserviceable was the only option which did not accurately describe
the reduced condition of the ALS. Changes also include updated United States NOTAM Office (USNOF) roles
and responsibilities. This change sets the same NOTAM criteria for both Automated Surface Observing System
(ASOS) and Federal Automated Weather Observation System (AWOS) regardless of who maintains them. This
change also updates and makes editorial changes to publications related to this order.
b. 2−1−4. DOMESTIC NOTICES AND INTERNATIONAL NOTICES
This change removes the reference to the 28−day publication cycle in the paragraph concerning International
Notices and Domestic Notices to reflect the transition to on−demand publication of these notices, effective May
20, 2021.
c. Editorial Changes
Las Vegas McCarran International was changed to Las Vegas Harry Reid International in Appendix A.
d. Entire Publication
Additional editorial/format changes were made where necessary. Revision bars were not used because of the
insignificant nature of these changes.

(FCFSS) employees, regardless of position, must immediately report any situation or condition considered
hazardous to flight to an air traffic facility for appropriate action.
NOTE−
Situations that present an immediate hazard should be reported to the air traffic control (ATC) facility most concerned. Other
situations should be reported on a first priority basis to the flight service station or appropriate accountable organization.
b. Air traffic organization, FCT, and FCFSS personnel must accept all aeronautical information regardless
of source or subject matter, provided the occurrence is no more than seven days in the future. Obtain the name,
title (if appropriate), address, and telephone number of the person furnishing the information and forward all data
to the appropriate FSS for NOTAM issuance, if appropriate.
NOTE−
Forwarding the NOTAM data to the tie−in FSS does not relieve the forwarding facility from the responsibility of coordinating
the information with other affected ATC facilities.
c. The party that originates the NOTAM on behalf of the accountable organization is responsible for the
accuracy, origination, and cancellation of the NOTAM. FSS personnel receiving NOTAM information that
requires action by another FSS must forward the information to that FSS for appropriate action.
d. The certified source is responsible for the correct classification and format of the NOTAM and for ensuring
that facilities affected by the NOTAM are aware of the new NOTAM.
e. FSS specialists are responsible for issuing NOTAMs that are not covered in any example in FAA Order JO
7930.2. If, after consulting with your management, a format cannot be determined, have management contact
USNOF for assistance.
f. System Operations Services, Flight Services, has the responsibility to ensure that data submitted complies
with the policies, criteria, and formats contained in this order. This responsibility is delegated to the U.S. NOTAM
Governance and Operations Group.

airspace where the STAR originates.
j. System Operations Services, System Operations Security (AJR−2) will provide a list of long−term, security
related Temporary Flight Restrictions (TFRs) to be charted on VFR Sectional and Terminal Area Charts. These
will include select Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 99.7 (Special Security Instructions), part
91.141 (Flight Restrictions in the Proximity of the Presidential and Other Parties), and Part 91.139 (Emergency
Air Traffic Rules) security related TFRs of extended duration with fixed and unchanging boundaries. System
Operations Security will provide Aeronautical Information Services with updates and revisions to these charted
long−term, security related TFRs, as needed, to ensure the data published on the charts is current.
k. The U.S. NOTAM Governance Team is the FAA’s authoritative source for US NOTAM Policy, responsible
for the maintenance, update, and publication of this order, which establishes national policy for the National
Airspace System (NAS) NOTAM operations. Additionally, the team is comprised of NOTAM Subject Matter
Experts for domestic and international NOTAMs. This ensures global harmonization with ICAO Annexes,
Standards and Recommended Practices, and other documents. The team also provides policy guidance,
oversight, and interpretations for consistent application of US NOTAM standards.
l. USNOF executes the operational compliance function. When operational personnel of the USNOF
determine that NOTAM information submitted is not in compliance with the criteria or procedures as prescribed,
they must call this to the attention of the transmitting party. The USNOF forwards NOTAM policy questions to
the U.S. NOTAM Governance Team for decision−making in consultation with other interested program offices.

a. The certified source (NOTAM originator) that enters the NOTAM data is responsible for classifying,
formatting, cancelling, and informing the controlling facility and other facilities/offices affected by the aid,
service, or hazard contained in the new NOTAM. Flight Service Stations are exempt from the requirement to
inform the controlling facility when an alternate means of coordination is approved by the Flight Service Safety
and Operations Group, AJR−B1.
b. Any certified source that receives information is responsible for the accuracy, currency, and validity of the
NOTAM. When a certified source receives information that is outside their area of responsibility, they will
inform the accountable organization.
c. FSSs must accept all aeronautical information. Information obtained from other than authorized personnel
must be confirmed before issuance. NOTAM data received from state inspectors or state contracted inspectors
must be confirmed by airport managers or appropriate authority before issuance of NOTAMs except in case of
data that presents an immediate hazard to aircraft operations. If a NOTAM is issued without confirmation, advise
the airport manager as soon as possible. In case of conflict between airport management and the named state
airport inspector, contact FAA regional airports personnel for resolution. Conditions requiring a NOTAM should
be coordinated with the appropriate air traffic facilities.

7930.2S
Section 1. General
a. The USNOF is charged with monitoring the NS. The USNOF must monitor the NS for compliance with
the criteria and procedures set forth in this order. When questions arise on NOTAM dissemination, formats,
contractions, or other aspects of the distribution system, the USNOF should be consulted. The authority for
NOTAM formats is the USNOF, who will ensure that issued NOTAMs are consistent with FAA policy. NOTAM
originators and certified sources must comply with USNOF personnel guidance. Discrepancies in procedures
or format must be recorded, and Aeronautical Information Services must forward a list of the discrepancies to
Flight Services, Safety and Operations Support, Operational Procedures, and the service area office.
b. Editing:
1. The USNOF may edit any NOTAM (except FDC NOTAMs relating to instrument flight procedures) that
does not conform to the formats and/or examples contained in this order. The contents of a NOTAM must not
be changed without notifying the originating facility.
NOTE−
FDC NOTAMS relating to instrument approach and departure procedures are originated by the Mission Support Services – Aeronautical Information Services under the Flight Standards Service policy. ARTCCs must ensure the origination of
NOTAMs pertaining to a Standard Terminal Arrival (STAR).
2. Should the USNOF edit a NOTAM and change the intent, the NOTAM must be canceled by the issuing
facility and reissued as a new NOTAM, after consultation with the USNOF.

NOTAM Diagram
Where the solid lines indicate mandatory and the dashed lines indicate as needed or optional.
a. The purpose of the NOTAM diagram is to provide a basic outline of what constitutes a NOTAM. Not all
NOTAMs will contain all of the elements. For detailed explanation, consult the applicable paragraph sections
for further NOTAM composition assistance.
b. NOTAMs may contain these elements from left to right in the following order:
1. An ADP code/exclamation point (!).
2. Accountability (the identifier of the accountability location; for example, JFK, FDC, CARF).
3. Location identifier {the affected facility or location, for example, (airport, NAVAID, or ARTCC) appears
AFTER the NOTAM number}. Approach controls or airspace located within multiple ARTCC must have a
separate NOTAM for each ARTCC.
(a) The nearest public use airport when the full activity is completely within a 5 NM Radius of the airport.
(b) The nearest VOR when any of the activity is more than 5 NM from the nearest public use airport but
completely within 25 NM Radius of a VOR
(c) When the activity doesn’t fall within either (a) or (b), use the ARTCC.
4. Keyword.
5. Attribute, activity, or surface designator(s) (when needed).
NOTE−
A surface designator is required with keywords RWY, TWY, and APRON. For example, a surface designator is RWY 14/32,
TWY A, APRON FedEx Ramp.
6. Surface segment (when needed).
7. Facility, feature, service, system, and/or components thereof (when needed). Spell out facility names
when used in the body of the NOTAM.

8. Location description (when needed).
9. Lower limit then upper limit, or height, (when needed). Limits must be specified, as:
(a) For SFC, or 1 to 17,999FT with the unit of measurement (AGL or MSL). 50FT, 1275FT AGL,
10500FT.
(b) For 18,000FT and above, express in flight levels (FL), FL180, FL550, FL850, or UNL (altitudes
greater than 99,900FT).
(c) Include heights AGL when required (obstacle NOTAMs) or when MSL is not known, for example,
SFC−450FT AGL.
(d) The term UNKNOWN may be used in lieu of the MSL or AGL altitudes if not known; however, one
altitude must be identified.
10. Condition. The changed condition or status being reported, when needed. When the conditions include
a limitation or an exception, follow the condition with “TO” or “EXC”; such as, “CLSD EXC SKI” or “CLSD
TO TRANSIENT” or “CLSD EXC TAX BTN APCH END RWY 10 AND TWY C.”
11. Reason (when needed).
12. Remarks (when needed). Other information considered important; for instance, a frequency (134.72),
or an expected altitude for unmanned free balloons (NEB TO 150000FT)
13. Schedule, (when needed). A NOTAM may be originated for a scheduled condition/activity that will
occur during the period. Specify the schedule between the condition/activity and the valid time string. The days
of the week must be specified before the scheduled time. The term “DLY” (daily) indicates the event will occur
each day at the same time during the stated time period. The start time of the schedule must correspond to the
start of activity time. The end of the last schedule must correspond to the end of validity time.
EXAMPLES−
DLY 1200−2000 YYMMDD1200−YYMMDD2000
MON WED 0900−1300 YYMMDD0900−YYMMDD1300
TUE THU 0900−2000 YYMMDD0900−YYMMDD2000
If the active time of a NOTAM corresponds to sunrise or sunset, the actual times of sunrise on the first day of
validity and of sunset on the last day of validity must be used.

indicate the time at which the NOTAM comes into force (the date/time a condition will exist or begin) and the
time at which the NOTAM ceases to be in force and becomes invalid (the expected return to service, return to
normal status time, or the time the activity will end). These times must be separated by a hyphen “−.” For

example, …RWY 15 CLSD YY12031400−YY12051359…indicates that runway 15 will close at 1400UTC on
December 3rd. It is expected to reopen at 1359 UTC on December 5th.
(a) If the NOTAM duration is expected to return to service prior to the End of Validity time, express the
time by using a date−time group followed immediately by “EST” (estimate). Any NOTAM that includes an
“EST” must be canceled or replaced before the NOTAM reaches its End of Validity time. If the NOTAM is not
canceled or replaced, it will expire at the end of validity time regardless of EST. FDC NOTAMs relating to
instrument flight procedures must not be canceled and reissued.
(b) The NOTAM Originator is responsible for validating that any NOTAM that is coming to its End of
Validity time can auto−expire. If the condition is still valid, the NOTAM must be canceled and reissued with
a new Start/Stop time, PRIOR to the NOTAM reaching its End of Validity time.
(c) When a NOTAM is originated to advertise a permanent condition that will be published in a
publication, chart or database “PERM” should be inserted as the expiration date in lieu of a 10−digit date−time
group. PERM is also used as the end of validity for certain NOTAMs that 1) pertain to or support national security,
law enforcement, and aviation security requirements, and 2) contain flight prohibitions for U.S. operators and
U.S. airmen regarding operations in particular areas of non−U.S. controlled airspace due to weapons related
hazards or other hostile threats to civil aviation. The NOTAM originator is responsible for canceling the NOTAM
upon publication, as PERM will not auto−expire.
(d) All NOTAMs will auto−cancel at their End of Validity time, except PERM.
(e) For an uncontrolled airport, when a NOTAM originator submits a candidate NOTAM to the NOTAM
System to advertise an Airport or Runway condition with a Start of Activity less than 60 minutes before the
beginning of an activity that impacts/closes a runway or an airport, the activity must be reported to the Air Traffic
Control (ATC) facility that has control jurisdiction.
c. NOTAMs issued when the condition of a number of facilities, NAVAIDs, services, or landing
areas/runways are related to the same event (for example, date/time, facility closing, part−timing, runway
closures, etc.) must be issued as separate NOTAMs.
d. Each NOTAM concerning a specific aid, service, or hazard must be a complete report including all
deviations unless reference is made to other restrictions already published.
e. If information is published elsewhere and is still valid, reference must be made to that publication with the
statement, “PLUS SEE (publication).” A NOTAM issued not stating “PLUS SEE (publication)” indicates the
NOTAM replaces previously published similar data.
f. NOTAMs must state the abnormal status of a component of the NAS and not the normal status. Exception
− Temporarily extending hours of use beyond published times, for example: RWY 09/27 OPN.
4−2−2. NOTAM ACCOUNTABILITY
Maintain separate accountability (NOTAM file) for each location whose weather report is disseminated via
WMSCR and for the location of the tie−in FSS.
a. Issue NOTAMs for an FAA−monitored weather reporting location whose report is disseminated via
WMSCR under the location identifier of the weather report.
b. Issue all other NOTAMs under the location identifier of the tie−in FSS. This includes NOTAMs for weather
reporting locations whose report is not disseminated via WMSCR.
REFERENCE−
FAA Order 7930.2, Chapter 2, Aeronautical Information Services.
c. Make NOTAM accountability changes by mail, email or other electronic means when known sufficiently
in advance. Issue all subsequent NOTAMs under the corrected accountability. If there are any current NOTAMs
for the location, cancel and reissue those NOTAMs under the new accountability after the NS tables have been
changed. Notify Aeronautical Information Services of any NOTAM accountability changes.

b. Cancel NOTAMs containing erroneous information, and reissue. Originate a new NOTAM when data is
received amending a current NOTAM, and cancel the previous NOTAM.
4−3−3. CANCELLING PUBLISHED NOTAM DATA
a. When data appearing in a NOTAM is printed correctly in a publication or on a chart, cancel the NOTAM.
b. NOTAMs must remain active until correctly published in all applicable publications/charts, except
NAVAID NOTAMs, which must remain in effect until the NAVAID is returned to service, published as shutdown,
or decommissioned. Review all publications listed below:
1. Chart Supplement
2. Enroute low altitude charts
3. Enroute high altitude charts
4. Terminal procedures publications
NOTE−
FDC NOTAMs relating to instrument approach and obstacle departure procedures and airways must remain current until
published in the Terminal Procedures Publication or applicable enroute chart.
5. VFR Charts:
(a) Sectional charts
(b) Terminal area charts

7. Follow 4−2−1 b 11−14 to complete the NOTAM.
j. Other reportable conditions. The airport operator must ensure that a NOTAM is submitted for conditions
considered to be hazardous or potentially hazardous to the aircraft operator. Permanent changes in surface
conditions must be coordinated for publication in accordance with paragraph 2−1−3, Publication Criteria.
1. When SNOWBANKS, BERMS, DRIFTS, and SN PILES are not on the movement areas, issue them
without the FICON descriptor.
2. When it is determined that no surface condition reports will be taken and no current observation exists,
issue a single NOTAM (Keyword AD) for the entire time−period. Use the phrase “SFC COND NOT REP”, as
this differs from Conditions Not Monitored.
3. Wildlife.
(a) Wildlife NOTAMs are to be issued for abnormal events, not as general information, and must specify
the type of wildlife event.
(b) If wildlife events are expected on a regular basis, submit this information for publication in the Chart
Supplement.
(c) Wildlife NOTAMs must not be issued as PERM, unless the publication process has been initiated per
paragraph 3−1−4, Permanent (PERM) NOTAM Process.

…TWY HELIPAD C FICON DRY PLOWED 50FT WID REMAINDER COMPACTED SN…
b. When there is a significant change in conditions, issue an updated FICON NOTAM.
c. Airport operators use the Runway Condition Assessment Matrix (RCAM − See TBL 5−1−4) to create the
Runway Condition Code (RwyCC) for Paved Surfaces, which include asphalt, asphalt−concrete, concrete, and
porous friction course. Non−paved surface NOTAMs do not include the RwyCC. The NS generates the RwyCC
based on airport operator input of the contaminants present. Per AC 150/5200−30, Airport Field Condition
Assessments and Winter Operations Safety, airport operators have the capability, in accordance with specific
action and protocols, to downgrade or upgrade the runway condition code.
d. Each field of the NOTAM is described below. Follow the NOTAM composition in 4−2−1 a 1−4 to include:
1. Surface Designator (RWY 04)
2. FICON. Insert “FICON” after the surface designator and before the field condition.
3. RwyCC. When generated, it will be illustrated as values between 0 and 6 and look similar to this for
runway thirds (3/4/2). The RwyCC will only be provided for paved runways when the percentage coverage of
the full runway that is contaminated is greater than 25 percent. Report RwyCCs based on the direction of the
assessment. Report only one set of RwyCCs per runway surface. For example, do not report two runway
condition reports (one from each end) for a runway.
4. Condition. Report the contaminants per TBL 5−1−2, including the percentage of coverage for runways,
in thirds. For taxiways and aprons, do not express the condition in terms of percentage of coverage. Use the word
“PATCHY” to describe a contaminant that covers 25 percent or less of the reported portion of the surface of a
taxiway, apron, heliport or airport.

reached, report values in multiples of 1 inch and discontinue the use of fractions. When a snow depth of 35 inches
is reached, report values in multiples of feet only. Round depths greater than 1 inch to the next higher reportable
depth.
(2) Report the highest depth of the contaminant along the reported portion of the surface.
(3) The only reportable contaminants and contaminant combinations authorized for use are found in
TBL 5−1−2 above. These contaminants marked by an “*” must be accompanied by a depth for all Part
139/Federally obligated airports. For all other airports, the depths on taxiways and aprons is optional.
5. Action. Action taken to treat the contaminated surface.
(a) Includes the treatment method (Up to three treatments permitted for full length of
runway/taxiway/apron.) Treatment includes plowed, swept, sanded, deiced liquid, deiced solid, scarified (for
runways, each third must be contaminated with only ice and the total surface coverage must be >25%). A
treatment width of 50FT is considered 25ft on each side of the centerline.

areas as good to medium; medium; medium to poor; poor; or nil, as received from airport management. The worst
runway braking action is shown by contaminant type and RwyCC.
(a) Reporting of a “NIL” braking condition is not permissible by Federally Obligated Airports or those
airports certificated under 14 CFR part 139. A “NIL” braking condition at these airports must be mitigated by
closure of the affected surface.
NOTE−
A “NIL” braking action NOTAM can be issued at airports not receiving federal money and non−part 139 airports on taxiway
or apron surfaces only. No aerodrome can issue a runway NIL braking action.
(b) Paved surfaced runways cannot have a stand−alone BA NOTAM.
(c) Non−Paved surfaced runways can have BA, but as a stand−alone NOTAM.
(d) TWY/Apron can have BA as stand−alone or appended to field condition NOTAM.

9. Start of Activity/End of Validity. FICON NOTAMs are considered temporary, therefore the End of
Validity time for FICON NOTAMs must not exceed 24 hours from the Start of Activity time, except:
(a) When the reported contaminant is ASH, MUD, OIL RUBBER (taxiway only), or SAND.
(b) When appended with remarks “COND NOT MNT.”
e. Rubber as a contaminant/Slippery When Wet.

1. Issue a NOTAM D on airports (not runways) certificated under 14 CFR Part 139, when notified by airport
management that required ARFF equipment is inoperative/unavailable and replacement equipment is not
available. Except as indicated in paragraph 5−1−5a 3, airport management has 48 hours to replace or substitute
equipment before the index changes. Air carriers and others must be notified that ARFF equipment is
unserviceable. Each NOTAM must have an expiration time as obtained from airport management. If unable to
obtain an expiration time, add 48 hours to the time of receipt and advise airport management.
NOTE−
The ARFF Index for each certificated airport is published in the U.S. Chart Supplement, which lists indices and ARFF
equipment requirements.
2. At certificated airports listed in the U.S. Chart Supplement, the certificate holder (airport management)
is required to notify air carriers by NOTAM when required ARFF equipment is inoperative/unavailable and
replacement equipment is not available immediately. If the required Index level of capability is not restored
within 48 hours, airport management is required to limit air carrier operations.
REFERENCE−
Title 14 CFR Part 139
3. If the ARFF vehicle is still unserviceable after 48 hours, the airport manager must notify the FSS of a
temporary index change and approximate duration time.
4. If the ARFF Index is listed in the U.S. Chart Supplement, as A and the ARFF vehicle is unserviceable,
the NOTAMs must indicate that index A is not available and the airport is closed to air carrier operations.

Work in Progress
a. Work in Progress (WIP) describes any work being done on the airport surface, including construction,
mowing, snow/ice removal, etc. WIP does not close a movement area; therefore, if the movement area is
restricted, another NOTAM identifying that restriction is needed. For example, a WIP with snow removal
requires a closure NOTAM with 15 minute PPR in order to use the surface.
b. WIP (reason) is mandatory for describing construction and snow/ice removal NOTAMs. Other WIP
reasons are optional.
c. Any NOTAM associated with work in progress on or adjacent to a runway, taxiway, apron/ramp, or
aerodrome must be formatted as follows 4−2−1 b 1−3, including:
1. Keyword. RWY, TWY, APRON, or AD.
2. Surface name/designator. Specify the name/ designator of the surface on which the work is being
conducted.
3. Surface segment description must be specified in feet or from a specific point to point; for example, TWY
A SOUTH 76FT or TWY A BTN TWY B AND TWY C.
NOTE−
A surface segment differs from the optional plain language description of the work areas in that the surface segment
description can be captured and depicted graphically in a digital environment. The optional plain language comments will
be delivered in text form only.
4. Condition or activity; “WIP.”
NOTE−
Airport operators must ensure this NOTAM remains active only when actual snow and ice removal operations are taking
place.
5. Reason or purpose.

Lighting Aids
…RWY 27 RTHL U/S…
See Appendix A for examples.
Originate NOTAMs on operational status of lighting aids for public use civil landing areas listed in the U.S. Chart
Supplement. Each type of lighting requires separate NOTAMs. Technical Operations must be made aware of any
runway lighting outages, as this is the office that maintains the equipment. When describing restrictions, use
Runway Centerline (RCL) with visual navigational aids. NOTAMS regarding lighting aids are originated as
follows:
a. Approach light systems (ALS). Only use the runway direction for which the equipment pertains.
1. When commissioning approach light systems, indicate the exact type of system; for example, MALSR,
MALSF, etc.
2. Once commissioned and published, approach light systems need only be shown as ALS.
3. When the ALS has been changed to the simplified, short ALS with with runway alignment lights, issue
the condition as temporarily changed (“NOW”). Do not use out of service/unserviceable.
b. Lead off /lead on lights. NOTAMs issued using keyword RWY. Lead off and lead on light will be the
standardized verbiage for lead off/on lights, which are also referred to as turnoff lights.
c. Runway status light system.
1. Runway entrance lights. NOTAMs issued using keyword TWY
2. Take−off hold lights.
d. Sequence flashing lights/runway alignment indicator lights.

b. Any failure or malfunction which affects a top light or flashing obstacle light regardless of its position is
a condition for a NOTAM.
c. Commercial tower light operators must report the operating status of tower lights and ensure that a NOTAM
is originated via a direct entry tool or contacting FSS.
d. The NOTAM text for obstructions to air navigation must be formatted as follows 4−2−1 b 1−2, including:
1. Location Identifier: For wind turbine farms, use the ARTCC under which the farm falls.
2. Keyword “OBST.”
3. Specify the attribute; for example, “TOWER LGT”, “CRANE,” “STACK,” “ACFT TAIL,” “BLDG,”
“MOORED BALLOON”, “KITE” etc.
4. Assigned obstruction identifier.
(a) For FCC Towers, the Antenna Structure Registration (ASR), if known, in parentheses. If the ASR is
not known, indicate by (ASR UNKNOWN) in the NOTAM.
(b) For Cranes, Stacks, etc., the Aeronautical Study Number (ASN), if known, in parentheses. If the ASN
is not known, indicate by (ASN UNKNOWN) in the NOTAM. Do not include the ASN for wind turbine farm
NOTAMs, see examples.
(c) For Moored Balloon, which requires a waiver to 14 CFR Part 101, the assigned obstruction identifier
is not required.
5. For FCC Tower Obstructions, enter the location by latitude and longitude to the nearest one hundredth
of a second. For wind turbine farms, if using latitude and longitude, provide the coordinates for the center point
of the wind farm, or the coordinates for one of the turbines closest to the center. If the latitude and longitude is
not known, use “UNKNOWN”. For all other obstacles, use the latitude and longitude to the nearest second, or
fix/radial/distance, or a nautical mile radius of a NAVAID.
6. Plain language location in parentheses.
(a) When the obstacle is within 5SM of an airport, describe the plain language location in feet or nautical
miles using 16 points of compass from a specified location on the airport; for example, (.5NM E APCH END
RWY 18) (2000FT SSE DEP END RWY 20) (2NM SSW ACY).
(b) When the obstacle is within 500 feet either side of the centerline of a charted helicopter route, or 5SM
or more from an airport and more than 200 feet AGL, describe the plain language location by using the bearing,
distance, and aerodrome designator of the nearest public−use airport; for example, (12NM SSW SPA).
7. Specify the altitude MSL with the unit of measurement (FT), if known. Otherwise state UNKNOWN.
For wind turbine farms, use the tallest height of a turbine within the farm.
8. In parentheses, specify the height with the unit of measurement (FT) and reference datum (AGL).
NOTE−
Report the height of obstruction lights on terrain (hills) in MSL only, as the terrain is the obstacle, not the light on the
terrain
9. Specify the condition:
(a) “U/S” for FCC obstructions. A light condition of unserviceable refers to a top light or flashing
obstruction light is not operating, regardless of its position.

expected to give at least 1 hour notice.
5−3−4. NAVAID MAINTENANCE SHUTDOWNS
Information concerning maintenance shutdown of NAVAIDs that are part of the NAS must be handled as follows:
a. Routine maintenance shutdown. When possible, approval should be obtained sufficiently in advance of the
proposed shutdown time to allow dissemination of a NOTAM at least 5 hours before a shutdown will occur. A
routine maintenance shutdown request must not be denied because of an inability to issue a NOTAM 5 hours in
advance of the shutdown.
b. Emergency shutdown. When possible, obtain at least 1−hour advance notice so that appropriate
dissemination may be made before shutdown.
c. Extended maintenance shutdown. Notify the Aeronautical Data Team sufficiently in advance to permit
publication of the information prior to the shutdown date. When this is not possible, disseminate a NOTAM no
more than 7 days before the shutdown.
5−3−5. UNMONITORED NAVAIDs
a. All VOR, VORTAC, and ILS equipment in the NAS have automatic monitoring and shutdown features in
the event of malfunction.
b. When a navigational aid’s operational status cannot be monitored at the controlling or monitoring facility,
but all indications or reports are the facility is operating normally, Technical Operations personnel must ensure
the origination of a NOTAM placing the aid in an unmonitored status.
c. When issuing a NOTAM describing a facility as unmonitored, do not use the category of monitor, only the
phrase “NOT MNT.”
d. Do not issue a NOTAM for a standalone DME that is not monitored.
e. If the NAVAID is reported as being unserviceable, the unmonitored NOTAM must be canceled.
5−3−6. INSTRUMENT LANDING SYSTEM STATUS

issuing any procedural NOTAMs, such as flight data center (FDC) NOTAMs. Consult FAA Order 6750.24 to
determine if any additional NOTAM Ds should be issued. Ideally, a NOTAM will allow authorized operators to
continue, while notifying unauthorized operators that the specified approach procedure is not available. It is
critical that required NOTAMs alert users of an inoperative facility or system. In some situations, an
all−encompassing cancellation of specific minima (e.g., “CAT II/III Not Authorized”) may not be necessary.
b. Category II and/or III approaches may not be authorized due to the failure of additional equipment, as
specified in FAA Order 6750.24. The Technical Operations Control Center specialist in accordance with the
guidance contained in FAA Order 6750.24 will make the determination of impact to Category II/III ILS
operations, and a separate NOTAM request for loss of ILS category will be made if the equipment failures
warrant this action.
c. When Technical Operations personnel issue a NOTAM suspending CAT II/III minimums, AIS must be
notified. If the suspension will exist longer than 224−days or is permanent, AIS must submit a full or abbreviated
procedure amendment prior to the 224−day suspense.
d. Special Authorization CAT I/II approaches. These Part 97 CAT I/II approaches are identified as “ILS RWY
XX (SA CAT I) or ILS RWY XX (SA CAT II)” and by an additional chart note saying “Reduced Lighting:
Requires specific OpSpec, MSpec, or LOA approval.”
1. The aircraft operator is authorized to conduct CAT I/II IAP on certain ILS facilities that do not meet the
equipment requirements of a U.S. Standard or ICAO Standard, for example when TDZ lighting or RCL become
inoperative. These procedures have been specifically approved in accordance with FAA Order 8400.13,
Procedures for the Evaluation and Approval of Facilities for Special Authorization Category I Operations and
All Category II and III Operations.
2. When TDZ and/or CL lighting become inoperative on a standard CAT II instrument approach, the
certificate holder is authorized to conduct SA CAT II operations.

See Appendix A for examples.
a. Introduction. Facility status classification and NOTAM(s) will indicate restriction(s) to the expected use
of these facilities. The NOTAM advises the user of any restriction to facility usage. If the NAVAID is out of
service or unmonitored, the VOICE is automatically out of service.
b. Facility Status Classification.
Operational Status. The legal facility status of Usable or Unusable is broken down as follows:
1. Usable. The facility is available for operational use and is either.
(a) Unrestricted. Providing safe, accurate signals−in−space conforming to established standards within
the coverage area of the facility.
(b) Restricted. Providing signals−in−space not conforming to established standards in all respects or in
all sectors of the coverage area, but safe for use excluding the restrictions defined.
2. Unusable. The facility is not available for operational use because it may provide potentially unsafe or
erroneous signals, or signals of unknown quality. When describing visual aids, this term is used only by Flight
Inspection.
c. NOTAM(s).
1. General. Originate a NOTAM D for commissioning, decommissioning, outages, or unmonitored status
of radio navigation aids (60 minutes or more) that are part of the NAS. The NOTAM must be cancelled by the
NAVAID NOTAMs

originator. An exception is that Technical Operations will originate a NOTAM for all Instrument Landing
System Equipment and components for all associated outages regardless of duration. When a flight inspection
necessitates NOTAM action, the flight inspector is responsible for initiating the NOTAM(s). The flight inspector
must verify within 24 hours that the appropriate NOTAM(s) were issued, amended, or cancelled. The inspector
must verify that NOTAM(s) are published in the appropriate agency publication.
2. Facility NOTAM D. The inspector must immediately initiate NOTAM action whenever a facility
restriction is found or revised.
3. Initiating FDC NOTAM(s). FDC NOTAM(s) must be issued if a restriction affects instrument flight
procedures, approach minimums, or category (CAT) II or III authorizations. Internal processes are in place
between the Oklahoma City Service Center (OKC SC), the National Operations Control Center (NOCC), and
Aeronautical Information Services (AIS) to ensure FDC NOTAM(s) resulting from reported facility outages,
flight inspection results, or restriction changes are issued. The NOCC automatically notifies the AIS when there
is a facility outage or restoration. The OKC SC will notify AIS when a flight inspection results in a new or
canceled facility restriction.
4. Expanded Service Volume (ESV). When a facility no longer supports a particular ESV, an FDC
NOTAM must be issued for each published instrument flight procedure that requires that ESV.
5. Preparation of NOTAM(s).
(a) NOTAM(s) must include facility name, type, component, and the unusable area/altitude. The absence
of a specific altitude or distance denotes all altitudes and distances. It is important to include specific information
to avoid confusion. The reason for the restriction (e.g., lack of signal, frequency interference, course structure,
alignment, unlocks) serves no useful purpose and must not be included in the text of the NOTAM.
(b) Restrictions to VORTAC and TACAN facilities are issued via NOTAM D, including TACAN
azimuth restrictions. The NOTAM preparation for the TACAN azimuth component of a VORTAC is identical
to the VOR.
6. Facility Restrictions. Restrictions to NAVAIDs are normally published by segment: for example,
020−055 degree radials. To correct a given segment, cancel the original NOTAM and issue a completely new
NOTAM. Every effort should be made to restrict rather than remove from service a facility, or instrument
procedure, when out of tolerance conditions are found. Describe lateral restrictions in a clock−wise (CW)
direction. The following illustrate the most common applications for Flight Inspection.
FIG 5−3−1
NAVAIDs
(a) General. When defining altitude restrictions, use the format, “SFC – XXXXFT,” where “SFC” stands
for surface and XXXXFT is the top of the restriction in MSL altitude. Altitude restrictions recorded on data
sheets, Flight Inspection reports, Airport/NAVAID (AIRNAV) database, and in the Chart Supplement, will use
the standard flight inspection format of, “unusable below (altitude), or “unusable above (altitude),” as
appropriate. The listed altitude is the usable MSL altitude. Only NOTAM(s) will use the “SFC–XXXXFT”
format. For example: a VOR found unusable below 3000FT MSL would result in a NOTAM that lists the
restriction as unusable “SFC–2900FT.” Use a 100FT increment from the “usable” altitude to describe the first
“unusable” altitude.
(b) Excessive snow and ice accumulation near the glide slope antennas may affect facility performance
to the extent that it is inoperative. When this occurs, Technical Operations personnel at the glide slope location
are required to initiate appropriate NOTAM D action. Technical operations personnel must monitor snow
conditions to determine when conditions permit use of the glide slope and initiate action to cancel the NOTAM.

Technical Operations and Aeronautical Information Services NOTAM Office make the determination when to
issue an FDC NOTAM or NOTAM D, based on FAA JO 6750.49, Maintenance of Instrument Landing System
(ILS) Facilities. Tech Ops issues the NOTAM D and AIS 24/7 NOTAM Center issues the FDC.
(c) VOR/ TACAN/DME/ VOT/ NDB/ DF. Describe radial/ bearing from the station in a clockwise
direction, altitude in terms of above or below an MSL altitude, and distance in terms of beyond or within a
nautical mile distance. When defining a restriction adjacent to another in azimuth, the same radial should not
be contained in both restrictions. For example: don’t state “020−090 and 090−110”, but rather state either,
“020−090 and 091−110”, or “020−089 and 090−110.”
(1) When describing restrictions to these kind of facilities:
[a] Describe the radials or bearings that are unusable.
[b] Describe the mileage point beyond which the facility is unusable.
[c] Describe any altitude restriction using the NOTAM format.
(2) Follow this guidance for identifying specific components:
[a] VOR/DME. Reference “VOR/DME” when the restriction simultaneously applies to both the
VOR and DME performance. Just use “VOR” if the restriction only applies to the VOR component, and “DME”
if it only applies to the DME component.
[b] VORTAC. Reference “VORTAC” when all components (VOR, TACAN AZM, and DME) are
being restricted together. Reference the individual component if the restriction only applies to that component.
NOTE−
When the DME portion of a VORTAC fails or is removed from service, the entire TACAN automatically becomes inoperative.
However, the TACAN AZM can be unserviceable with the VOR and DME operational.
[c] VOT (VOR Test Facility).
[d] VOR Receiver Checkpoint. There are airborne receiver checkpoints (VOR AIRBORNE REC
CHECKPOINT) and ground receiver checkpoints (VOR GND REC CHECKPOINT).
NOTE−
If there is more than one ground checkpoint, describe the location also.
[e] TVOR (Terminal Class VOR).
[1] TVORs serving one airport, and not associated with airway structure, must have NOTAMs

(d) Visual Glide Slope Indicator. Describe in terms of nautical miles from threshold and/or degrees left
and right of runway centerline any areas of coverage where the facility is unusable.
(e) A DME can be a separate facility, or a facility associated with an ILS, LOC, LOC Type Directional
Aid, Simplified Direction Finder, NDB and VOR. When a DME is a separate system (a DME−only facility),
the only condition is unserviceable. Restrictions are not published for DME−only facilities.
(f) Instrument Landing Systems (ILS).
FIG 5−3−2
ILS
…NAV ILS RWY 12 LOC UNUSABLE BEYOND 4DEG RIGHT OF COURSE…
(1) Distinguish components of an ILS from non−precision approach NAVAIDs by preceding the
component with “ILS” followed by “RWY” and the runway number (including single ILS airports). Use the term
“COURSE” when describing radio navigation aid restrictions. Coupled approach restrictions (for ILS CAT I)
are issued via FDC NOTAM.
EXAMPLE−
…NAV ILS RWY 14 LOC U/S…
(2) NOTAMS on a localizer backcourse (BC) may be issued for both outages and restrictions. A
backcourse facility may be completely separate from front course operations.
EXAMPLES−
…NAV LOC RWY 16 BC UNUSABLE BEYOND 6DEG RIGHT OF COURSE…
…NAV LOC RWY 05 BC U/S…
NOTE−
1. Restrictions on instrument flight procedures caused by outages to a localizer backcourse will be issued separately as
FDC NOTAMs.
2. When describing the back course, the runway designator is for the back course approach runway.
(3) Glide Slope Elevation. Describe in terms of degrees left or right of inbound course and nautical
miles from threshold; Describe unusable altitudes in terms of surface to the lowest usable MSL altitude or as
unusable above a highest usable MSL altitude. Ensure the restriction correctly reflects the service volume origin.
Additional reference to DME distances may be used if the DME is part of the approach procedure.
(g) Localizer/LOC Directional Aid/Simplified Directional Facility Azimuth. There are runways
equipped with a localizer facility without a glide slope, and are not designated an ILS.
EXAMPLES−
…NAV LOC RWY 08 U/S…
…NAV LOC RWY 08 UNUSABLE BEYOND 6DEG RIGHT OF COURSE…
(1) Lateral Restriction: Lateral restrictions are measured in degrees left or right of inbound course.
(2) Remaining Distance Restriction: Restriction occurs in the remaining distance to the runway,
expressed in nautical miles from the runway threshold. For example, the localizer is unusable within 0.3 NM of
the threshold.
(3) Usable Distance Restriction: Restrictions affecting the usable distance of the facility are measured
in nautical miles from the antenna. For example, the localizer is unusable beyond 15 NM.
NOTE−
Additional reference to DME distances may be used for ease of correlating the restriction distance to the approach
procedure, for those approach procedures with DME. However, DME distance will not be used to replace the distance from
threshold/antenna.

7. Modifying an existing facility NOTAM. When a new facility restriction modifies an existing restriction,
add “PLUS SEE (publication)” when other valid restrictions to the NAVAID are published. The absence of this
statement from the NOTAM indicates that all other restrictions have been canceled.
Flight Inspection Work Flow Process:
(a) Given a VOR/DME with the published (not NOTAMs) restrictions of:
VOR Unusable: 005−040 BEYOND 27NM SFC−13000FT
VOR Unusable: 325−040 BEYOND 20NM SFC−10500FT
(b) And during a subsequent flight inspection it is determined that the previous restriction of 005−040
BEYOND 27NM SFC−13000FT must be moved in and raised so it now reads 005−040 BEYOND 25NM
SFC−14000FT. First, cancel the existing restriction:
[CANCEL:] VOR 005−040 BEYOND 27NM SFC−12900FT UNUSABLE.
(c) Next, issue the NOTAM with the new restriction with the addition of “PLUS SEE”:
…VOR 005−040 BEYOND 25NM SFC−13900FT UNUSABLE PLUS SEE CHART SUPPLEMENT…
8. NOTAM Scenarios. The following are illustrations of conditions and prescribed NOTAM(s):
(a) All components of a VORTAC are unusable in a specific sector. For example, beyond 25NM and
below 3500FT MSL due to out−of−tolerance VOR and TACAN course structure and unusable DME.
NOTAM: …NAV VORTAC 025−075 BEYOND 25NM SFC−3400FT UNUSABLE…
(b) The VOR and TACAN azimuth signals of a VORTAC are unusable in a specific sector. For example,
beyond 25 NM and below 3500FT MSL due to out−of−tolerance conditions, and the DME is unaffected. Issue
separate NOTAMs for each component.
NOTAM: …NAV VOR 025−075 BEYOND 25NM SFC−3400FT UNUSABLE...
NOTAM: …NAV TACAN AZM 025−075 BEYOND 25NM SFC−3400FT UNUSABLE…
(c) A VOR does not provide adequate signal within the standard service volume at the required altitudes
in various areas sectors. For example, the VOR is unusable 080° CW to 100° beyond 18 NM below 3500FT
MSL, and is unusable from 101° CW to 200° beyond 30 NM below 4500FT MSL.
NOTAM: …NAV VOR 080−100 BEYOND 18NM SFC−3400FT, 101−200 BEYOND 30NM SFC−4400FT
UNUSABLE…
(d) A VOR is unusable in various areas below one altitude, and the DME is unusable in one sector. For
example, the VOR is unusable below 1,700FT MSL in the following areas: 250° CW 265° beyond 17 NM; 266°
CW 280° beyond 10 NM; and 281° CW 290° beyond 17 NM. DME unusable 225° CW 275° in the following
areas: Beyond 15 NM below 2,400FT MSL and beyond 30 NM below 5,000FT MSL.
NOTAM: …NAV VOR 250−265 BEYOND 17NM, 266−280 BEYOND 10NM, 281−290 BEYOND 17NM
SFC−1600FT UNUSABLE…
NOTAM: …NAV DME 225−275 BEYOND 15NM SFC−2300FT UNUSABLE…
NOTAM: …NAV DME 225−275 BEYOND 30NM SFC−4900FT UNUSABLE…
(e) A Nondirectional radio beacon is not usable at all altitudes beyond a certain distance in a sector. For
example, the signal is unusable in the SE quadrant beyond 15 NM.
NOTAM: …NAV NDB 090−180 BEYOND 15NM UNUSABLE…
(f) Glide slope tolerances are exceeded at a specific point on the glidepath. Describe the restriction from
the surface to the altitude specified in the flight inspection report. For example, an ILS glide slope is found
unusable below 2900FT MSL.
NOTE−
Do not subtract 100 feet, rather use the altitude specified by flight inspection.
NOTAM: …NAV ILS RWY 35 GP UNUSABLE SFC−2900FT…
(g) An ILS localizer exceeds tolerances at a point prior to the runway. For example, the localizer is
unusable from 0.5 NM inbound.
NOTAM: …NAV ILS RWY 25 LOC UNUSABLE WI .5NM…

(h) An ILS localizer is restricted in usable distance. For example, the localizer is restricted beyond 12
NM from the facility.
NOTAM: …NAV ILS RWY 33 LOC UNUSABLE BEYOND 12NM…
(i) A Cat II ILS ceases to meet CAT II criteria. Flight Inspection will coordinate with AIS to issue an FDC
NOTAM to show “CAT II NA” for the associated ILS approach procedure.
(j) A CAT III ILS localizer exceeds CAT III tolerances in Zone 4. Flight Inspection will coordinate with
AIS to issue an FDC NOTAM to show “CAT III NA” for the associated ILS approach procedure.
(k) A CAT II ILS localizer exceeds tolerances in Zone 4, (Zone 4 is not required for CAT II performance
level II/T). A facility NOTAM (NOTAM D) is issued.
NOTAM: …NAV ILS RWY 28 UNUSABLE INSIDE RWY THR...
(l) A CAT III ILS localizer exceeds tolerances in Zone 5, (Zone 5 is not required for CAT III performance
level III/D). A facility NOTAM (NOTAM D) is issued.
NOTAM: …NAV ILS RWY 10 UNUSABLE FOR ROLLOUT GUIDANCE…
(m) Glide slope does not meet change/reversal tolerances below a point on the glide path. For example,
flight inspection determines the glide slope is not suitable for autopilot use below 1574FT MSL. Flight
Inspection will coordinate with AIS to issue an FDC NOTAM with the following: AUTOPILOT COUPLED
APPROACH NA BELOW 1574FT.
NOTE−
The facility is not considered restricted.
(n) Localizer does not meet tolerances in the vertical plane.
NOTAM: …NAV ILS RWY 22 LOC UNUSABLE BEYOND OM ABOVE 3500FT, AND AT THR ABOVE
500FT...
(o) An out−of−tolerance condition is determined for an ILS glide slope left or right of the localizer
centerline. For example, flight inspection finds that beyond 5° left of LOC course, there are no glide slope
clearances above path, and a glide path is not provided.
NOTAM: …NAV ILS RWY 30 GP UNUSABLE BEYOND 5DEG LEFT OF COURSE...
(p) VGSI systems can have different conditions.
(1) A PAPI could be off the air for any reason and the NOTAM would read: U/S. But, if it was found
Unsatisfactory by flight inspection, the NOTAM term “UNUSABLE” is more appropriate.
(2) When a PAPI is not visible out to the standard 10−degree lateral azimuth due to baffling or optical
performance, the NOTAM should describe the unusable area referenced to the runway centerline.
For example, the PAPI is not visible beyond 6 degrees left of centerline.
NOTAM: …RWY 18 PAPI BEYOND 6DEG LEFT OF RCL UNUSABLE...
(3) VGSI may also be restricted in usable distance for obstacle clearance.
For example, the obstacle clearance plane is penetrated at some distance.
NOTAM: …RWY 32 PAPI BEYOND 2.8NM UNUSABLE...

Candidate GPS testing NOTAMs must be properly formatted when received from Technical Operations ATC
Spectrum Engineering Services, Spectrum Assignment and Engineering Services. The USNOF will issue
NOTAMs under the accountability “GPS” with a location identifier of the associated center.
b. Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS). WAAS area−wide NOTAMs are originated when WAAS
assets are out of service and impact the service area. The term “MAY NOT BE AVBL” indicates that due to
ionospheric conditions, lateral guidance may still be available when vertical guidance is unavailable. Under
certain conditions, both lateral and vertical guidance may be unavailable. The USNOF distributes these as FDC
NOTAMs when a WAAS asset failure affects a large area. USNOF utilizes templates provided by Technical
Operations, WAAS Operations. All events must reflect an effective time and expiration time.
1. Unscheduled loss of signal or service.
2. Ionosphere storm conditions.
3. Scheduled loss of signal or service.
4. Operating under a single GEO
5. Extreme storm detector trips
6. Test
7. Emergency
c. Automatic Dependent Surveillance−Broadcast (ADS−B) and Wide−Area Multilateration (WAM). ADS−B
and WAM NOTAMs are originated when assets are out of service and impact the service area. USNOF distributes
these as FDC NOTAMs and utilizes templates provided by Technical Operations. All events must reflect an
effective time and expiration time, whether scheduled or unscheduled loss of signal or service.
1. ADS−B. Distributed as FDC NOTAMs.
2. WAM. Issued as NOTAM D, with the impacted airport as the affected location.
d. Service Availability Prediction Tool (SAPT). If SAPT is out of service, then operators are entitled to relief
from the preflight check requirements and will not be penalized. Otherwise, operators may use the
FAA−provided preflight SAPT to determine predicted navigation or surveillance availability before a flight.
SAPT predictions are based on:
1. The time, route, and airspace of the planned flight;
2. The announced status of the Global Positioning System (GPS) satellite constellation; and
3. ADS−B related avionics on the subject aircraft.
NOTE−
Under 14 CFR § 91.103, pilots and operators must use all available information in planning their flight to ensure that they
will meet the performance requirements for the duration of the flight.
e. Ground Based Augmentation System (GBAS) and GBAS Landing System (GLS). Originate NOTAMs
when the GBAS is unserviceable, is predicted to be unserviceable, or the usability of the GLS is restricted. GBAS
facilities are operated by non−federal service providers.
1. Unscheduled loss of signal or service.
2. Predicted loss of signal or service.

an arrival/departure reservation is required. NOTAMs should be in the self−canceling format whenever possible.
2. When a flow control message (for example, arrival delays, ground stops, ground delays, airborne
holding, etc.) is received from the Air Traffic Control System Command Center (ATCSCC), the tie−in FSS for
the affected airport(s) must issue a NOTAM(s) in the self−canceling format.
5−5−4. WEATHER AND WEATHER REPORTING EQUIPMENT
a. Technical Operations personnel, responsible for system monitoring, must ensure the origination of
NOTAMs on the Federal Automated Weather Observation System (AWOS) as follows:
1. When malfunctions or discrepancies are identified, they must be verified by any of the following
methods:
(a) A certified weather observer, airport manager, or fixed base operator at the observation site.
(b) Reports regarding a given observation by two pilots within 2 miles of the airport prior to the
observation.
(c) Technical operations personnel.
NOTE−
For non−federal automated weather systems, see paragraph 1−3−6, Non−Federal Facilities.
2. When verified, issue a NOTAM and notify the responsible technical operations office of the discrepancy,
unless they reported the outage. If notified of system failure or other irregularity by other than a technical
operations office that cannot be verified by the methods given above, forward the information to technical
operations office for resolution. Accept NOTAM cancellation information only from the responsible technical
operations office.
b. Accept NOTAM information on Automated Surface Observing System (ASOS) only from the NWS
Weather Forecast Office. Either the person on duty, Meteorologist in Charge, or Lead Forecaster, at the NWS
Weather Forecast Office is responsible for requesting NOTAMs to be issued and cancelled regarding ASOS
system malfunctions and return to service. When malfunctions or discrepancies of an ASOS system are reported
to a facility, they are reported to the NWS Weather Forecast Office.

a. SAA, for the purpose of this manual, includes Special Use Airspace (SUA) (restricted area, military
operations area (MOA), warning area, and alert area airspace), instrument and visual military training routes,
aerial refueling tracks and anchors.
1. A NOTAM must be in effect to activate SAA at other than published or charted times for those areas that
contain a NOTAM provision (“BY NOTAM,” “INTERMITTENT BY NOTAM,” or “OTHER TIMES BY
NOTAM”) in their times of use legal description per FAA Order JO 7400.10, Special Use Airspace, Flight
Information Publications, and related Government charting products, or if that SAA can only be activated by
NOTAM. A NOTAM must not be used to make other changes to the charted lateral dimensions or which would
exceed the lower or upper published altitude limits.
2. NOTAMs for SAA activation and cancellation for uncharted and unpublished times must be originated
by the appropriate controlling agency, with the overlying ARTCC as the location identifier, using the appropriate
accountability of SUAE, SUAC and SUAW, corresponding to the FAA service areas, east, central and west,
respectively.
b. Issue the NOTAM in the format described in 6−1−1 above using the following items:
Accountability = SUA (E, C, W) Location identifier = ARTCC Condition = “ACT” (active)
c. Lights Out/Night Vision Goggle Operations in MOAs. Upon notification of a lights out/ Night Vision
Goggle operation in an authorized MOA (as listed in FAA exemption 7960 and FAA exemption 3946), issue a
NOTAM containing the description of activity information.
d. SUA NOTAMs are originated by the controlling agency, utilizing the SUA Management System. The type
of activity included does not restrict movement into or out of the airspace. TFRs restrict movement. This is an
advisory about unusual activity within the airspace. Do not use this to report increased flight movement.
6−1−3. AIRSPACE AND ALTITUDE RESERVATIONS
a. Central Altitude Reservation Function (CARF) airspace and altitude reservation NOTAMs must be
transmitted by the USNOF, after receipt of the candidate NOTAM from the CARF office. The information will
be stored in the NS database and available for request/reply. If the altitude reservation affects international
airspace, it will be sent and stored as an international NOTAM.
NOTE−
Commercial space operations are examples of activity permitted in ALTRVs within oceanic and offshore airspace
b. Issue the NOTAM in the format described in 6−1−1 above using the following items:
1. Accountability = CARF Location identifier = ARTCC
2. Description of Activity = STNR ALT RESERVATION
c. Airspace and Altitude reservation involving a single ARTCC.
d. Missile firing and offshore airspace reservations. ARTCCs must issue as a NOTAM missile firing exercises
and offshore airspace reservations. These NOTAMs must be transmitted as an international NOTAM to the
USNOF.
e. Weather Reconnaissance Area (WRA). A WRA is established to support weather reconnaissance/research
flights. ARTCCs must use the CARF location identifier when issuing NOTAMs for a WRA.

d. Authorizations and/or Air Traffic notifications are required by the proponent for the following activities;
ensure the NOTAM Originator is aware of this. The information is not released in the NOTAM.
1. Airshows, Demonstrations, Aerobatic Areas.
2. Unmanned Aircraft Operations.
3. Parachute Jumping/Sky Diving
6−1−6. SURFACE AREA AIRSPACE
Originate an AIRSPACE NOTAM using the format described in 6−1−1a above.
a. A NOTAM D may be originated for permanent changes to part time surface area hours of operation only,
under the following conditions:
1. The change in the surface area hours of operation is due to other than seasonal daylight time changes.
2. Only those surface areas identified as part time in the airspace section of the U.S. Chart Supplement as
part time are subject to change by NOTAM. A continuous surface area “hours of operation” is changed only
through rulemaking action.
3. The change in the surface area hours of operation will thereafter be continuously published in the U.S.
Flight Information Publication U.S. Chart Supplement, Chart Supplement Alaska, or the Chart Supplement
Pacific.
b. For temporary changes to published part time surface area hours of operation, issue a Services NOTAM
(SVC) in accordance with paragraph 5−5−3, Hours of Operation. Do not issue an Airspace NOTAM.
6−1−7. AREA IMPACTED TABLES
The graphs below depict the commonly used airspace areas.
a. Polygon. Points defining lateral limits of an area must be enumerated in clockwise order. The last and the
first points of the list must be the same (TO POINT OF ORIGIN). Latitude/longitude must be followed by plain
language location between parentheses.

2. In certain circumstances, AFS−400 may determine that the use of RNAV systems that utilize
DME/DME/inertial reference unit (IRU) inputs should be allowed [see Order 8260.19, paragraph 4−6−9, for
additional information/requirements]. In these instances, AFS−400 will advise AIS by e−mail or memorandum
to insert the phrase “OR DME/DME/IRU” after “SUITABLE RNAV SYSTEM WITH GPS.” Include in the
NOTAM any required DME facilities, as provided by AFS−400 to support DME/DME/IRU operations.
h. Air Traffic Service Route NOTAMs. Under 14 CFR Part 71.13, the term “ATS route” refers to a variety
of routes, including airways, jet routes, and RNAV routes. When a restriction or a change to an ATS route requires
a NOTAM, AIS must prepare and forward an FDC T−NOTAM following the procedures in paragraph 7−1−3.
b.
1. ATS Route changes involving a single state and one or more ARTCCs must be issued with the ARTCC
identifier followed by the two−letter state code. The two−letter state code must also follow all NAVAID and fix
designators.
2. If the ATS Route NOTAM affects one, two, or three ARTCCs and multiple states, issue a separate
NOTAM for each affected ARTCC. Do not include two−letter state codes if more than one state is involved.
3. If the NOTAM affects four or more ARTCCs, send one NOTAM using “FDC” as the facility identifier.
4. If the restriction will exceed the 224−day time limit, a procedure amendment (revised 8250−series form
or permanent NOTAM) must be submitted as soon as possible to allow publication of the change within the
224−day timeframe.
i. FDC NOTAMs for Special Instrument Approach Procedures (Specials). FDC Temporary NOTAMs
may also be used to promulgate safety of flight information relating to Specials provided the location has a valid
landing area identifier and is serviced by the NS.
1. If the Special is maintained by AIS or a non−FAA service provider and the location is in the NS, then
procedures for NOTAM processing will be similar to the procedures used for public, 14 CFR part 97 instrument
approach procedures. When preparing the NOTAM for submission, include the keyword “Special” immediately
following the three or four character location identifier. (!FDC PAJN SPECIAL)
2. AIS/non−FAA service providers will notify the Regional NextGen Branch (RNGB) as soon as
practicable when a NOTAM has been issued.
NOTE−
For AIS maintained procedures, after duty hours, contact the stand−by AIS representative at (405) 954 8260.
3. If the Special procedure location is not in the NS, whoever is responsible for maintaining the procedure
will notify the applicable RNGB of the change/outage. The RNGB must contact the user(s) of the procedure to
disseminate appropriate action; (e.g., NA the procedure, raise applicable minimums, etc.)
4. Non−FAA service providers must notify Flight Inspection Services of the change/outage if flight
inspection is responsible for conducting flight inspection/validation activities.
j. NOTAM content.
1. FDC SIAP and textual departure NOTAMs must identify the procedure being amended and the current
amendment number. NOTAMs for graphic ODPs, SIDs, and STARs must reflect the current procedure
identification, including number. The NOTAM must be as concise as possible.
2. The issuing authority must prepare the NOTAM using plain language text and those contractions found
in Order JO 7340.2 and those contractions and abbreviations used on IFP charts. Specialists must keep in mind
that the NOTAM is directed to the pilot, and should be worded so that the intended change will not be
misinterpreted. Avoid the use of internal cartographic instructions that have no meaning to pilots. Spell out
NAVAID names in clear text followed by the identifier. If it appears that the NOTAM length will exceed 20 lines,
call the USNOF at (888)−876−6826 for assistance and guidance.
3. For temporary obstructions, include the type, elevation, distance, and direction from the airport or
runway threshold, as appropriate, as the last line of the NOTAM text. Do not preface this information with
“Chart”

When requested by a Flight Standards District office, the USNOF will ensure an FDC NOTAM is issued.
REFERENCE−
14 CFR Part 91.144 and FAA Order JO 7110.10, Flight Services, Chapter 3.
7−1−5. TEMPORARY FLIGHT RESTRICTIONS
a. Through system interface, the NOTAM requestor must forward the NOTAM information directly to the
USNOF for FDC NOTAM issuance and to the FSS nearest the incident site for coordination purposes. The NS
disseminates FDC NOTAMs, and the FSS must act as “coordination facility” for preflight briefings for the
ARTCC. The NOTAM must follow 4−2−1 b 1−2, including
1. ARTCC designator/location (mandatory) followed by the state(s) abbreviation; for example: ZDC VA.
2. Keyword “AIRSPACE.”
3. City/Location(s), State(s) for each area; for example: Detroit, MI Ann Arbor, MI..; Beale AFB, CA..;
Libby AAF, AZ..; Hibbing, MN..; Fargo, ND.
4. Description of activity: “TEMPORARY FLIGHT RESTRICTIONS.”
5. Plain language effective date; for example, February 26, 2014 LOCAL (applicable to 14 CFR Sections
91.141 and 99.7 only).
6. The phrase “PURSUANT TO TITLE 14 CFR SECTION 9X.XXX…(the appropriate paragraph and
sub−paragraph number) (plain language text, as needed). Include the phrase “PURSUANT TO 49 USC
(section)…” as required for 14 CFR Sections 91.141 and 99.7 only.
7. Description of area or areas impacted; each area will contain:
(a) Stated as “WI AN AREA DEFINED AS…” and if appropriate “…TO POINT OF ORIGIN.” The area
is defined as a nautical mile radius of a latitude/longitude, or an area defined by latitude/longitude or fixes. As
necessary, include an alternate description as a fix/radial/distance in parentheses, to help clarify the location. For
example, X (alt X) TO Y (alt Y) TO Z (alt Z).
(b) Lower limit then upper limit, or height, (when needed). Limits must be specified, as:
(1) For SFC, or 1 to 17,999FT with the unit of measurement (AGL or MSL). 1275FT AGL, 10500FT
MSL.
(2) For 18,000FT and above, express in flight levels (FL), FL180, FL250, FL850, or UNL (altitudes
greater than 99,900).
(3) Heights AGL may be added, for example, SFC−450FT AGL.
(c) Schedule of individual area, if needed. For example, EFFECTIVE YY02271900 UTC (1400 LOCAL
2/27/YY) UNTIL YY02280200 UTC (2100 LOCAL 2/27/YY). If a daily (or MON WED FRI) time is required,
DLY 1900−0200 (1400−2100 LOCAL).
NOTE−
Repeat 7 (a)−(c), as necessary, for each defined area.
8. Reason or purpose (when needed).
9. The FAA coordination facility and commercial telephone number.
10. Remarks (when needed). Include other information that is required or considered to be important to the
pilot. Do not use the 1−800−WX−BRIEF telephone number for the flight service stations.

b. Flight restrictions in the proximity of the President or other parties (14 CFR Section 91.141) or Special
Security Instructions (14 CFR Section 99.7) will be issued by System Operations Services, System Operations
Security, and System Operations Support Center (SOSC). Operational requirements may necessitate a change
in format to Presidential and Special Security Instructions TFRs at any time.
1. Multiple areas may be specified in one NOTAM when the areas are in the same ARTCC airspace.
2. The requirement for one effective period per NOTAM is waived for NOTAMs advertising flight
restrictions in the proximity of the President or other parties. See paragraph 4−1−1.
7−1−6. AIR DEFENSE EMERGENCY
When an air defense emergency is declared and Emergency Security Control of Air Traffic (ESCAT) has been
implemented, an FDC NOTAM will be issued in accordance with procedures in FAA Order JO 7610.4, Special
Operations, Chapter 6, Emergency Security Control of Air Traffic. NOTAMs advertising an air defense
emergency must use accountability FDC, location identifier FDC, and be preceded by keyword “SECURITY.”
REFERENCE−
FAA Order JO 7610.4, Chapter 6, Emergency Security Control of Air Traffic (ESCAT), and Appendix 17, Emergency Security Control of Air Traffic
(ESCAT).
7−1−7. SPECIAL DATA
When special data NOTAMs must be issued (for example, Department of State information and special air traffic
programs for national security, aviation security, and law enforcement, etc.), an FDC NOTAM is issued by the
USNOF using the keyword “SECURITY.” Issue the NOTAM with PERM instead of a cancellation date and
cancel the NOTAM only at the request of the originating office, System Operations Security.
NOTE−
See information on use of the System Operations Security KICZ Accountability/Location Code for United States
International Security NOTAMs in Chapter 8.
7−1−8. LASER LIGHT ACTIVITY
The service area office where the laser activity will occur must notify the USNOF via telephone (888) 876−6826
or email (9−AWA−[email protected]) within 7 days of a proposed activity. Additionally, service area
offices, when coordinated with their respective ATC facilities, may delegate notification responsibility. The
USNOF will transmit the appropriate FDC NOTAM. If the event is canceled prior to the scheduled ending
date/time, the service area office or their designee must notify the USNOF to cancel the NOTAM.
Follow 4−2−1 b 1−2, including:
a. ARTCC designator (mandatory) followed by the state abbreviation.
b. Keyword “AIRSPACE.”
c. City/state.
d. Description of activity; for example, “LASER LGT ACT.”

4. As part of the FSS supervisor’s watch checklist, the watch supervisor must check the FDC list that is
issued by the USNOF to ensure that every Presidential, Special Security Instructions, or Emergency Air Traffic
Rules FDC NOTAM has been received in the facility.
NOTE−
The purpose of this procedure is to ensure that:
1. All flight service specialists know about the Presidential, Special Security Instructions, or Emergency Air Traffic Rules
TFRs so that pilots are briefed appropriately.
2. All affected air traffic facilities receive immediate notification when these TFRs are issued.
3−1−3. MILITARY NOTAMs
The NS transmits a list of FDC NOTAM numbers issued during the previous 24 hours. The NS transmits the list
between 1715 and 1745 UTC.
a. Military Functions
1. MILITARY FACILITIES
NOTAMs pertaining to U.S. Air Force, Army, and Navy navigational aids that are part of the NAS must be
disseminated.
2. SUBMISSION OF MILITARY DATA FOR PUBLICATION
Military aeronautical data affecting FAA publications must be submitted to the FAA through the responsible
military authority.
3. MILITARY NOTAMs
Department of Defense (DOD) NOTAMs are stored in the FAA NOTAM database. Most of these facilities are
assigned to a tie−in FSS for NOTAM purposes.
NOTE−
Some Army airfields are not assigned to a tie−in FSS. Army aeronautical data and NOTAMs are not necessarily published
in FAA publications. Publication of NOTAM data in the DOD FLIP is justification for NOTAM cancellation.
4. ALASKAN MILITARY NOTAMs
Select Alaskan military facility NOTAMs may be disseminated in the FAA NOTAM system via the tie−in FSS.
The military base operations must transmit NOTAM data into the Department of Defense Aeronautical
Information Portal (DAIP) and, at a minimum, coordinate with tie−in FSS.
5. MILITARY NOTAM AVAILABILITY
(a) All military NOTAMs are stored in the NS data base. While current, they may be retrieved by both
AFTN subscribers and FAA facilities via request/reply.
(b) Refer to the DOD Flight Information Publication (EN Route), IFR, or VFR Supplements to determine
whether NOTAM service is provided for a facility.
(c) Military NOTAMs are entered in the military system using the following NOTAM format:
EXAMPLE−
281131 KLTS

Flight Services Computer Functions
E−1. CONFIRMING ACCEPTANCE BY THE NOTAM SYSTEM
a. When a new NOTAM is accepted into the NOTAM file, a copy of the NOTAM with the NOTAM number
will be returned back to the originating facility.
b. If the NOTAM is rejected, an NS−generated service message will be relayed back to the facility of origin
indicating the reason for rejection as shown in paragraph 4−5−2, NOTAM Service Messages.
E−2. TRANSMISSION BY ANOTHER FACILITY
When unable to transmit a NOTAM directly into the system due to equipment failure or other situation, relay
the information to an FSS and request that the data be transmitted into the system.
E−3. CANCELLATION OF NOTAMs
To cancel a NOTAM, use the same NOTAM/serial number assigned to the original NOTAM by the NS computer,
preceded by the letter “C.” If the serial number of a NOTAM cancellation is invalid (number not in a master file),
no action is taken within the NOTAM system. A cancellation must receive the same dissemination as the NOTAM
it cancels. Do not carry the NOTAM text in the cancellation.
EXAMPLE−
!ABC C05/005
E−4. MONITORING
a. All input transmissions from a facility are monitored by the NS computer for the presence of an ADP code.
The validity of the station identifier, format, and times are also checked before the NS computer assigns a number
and updates the NOTAM master file.
b. Errors in the station identifier or the format will result in a computer−generated service message being
sent to the facility of origin. (See paragraph 4−5−2 for examples). The service message will identify the
NOTAM parameter which was in error. A rejection (R) requires corrective action as soon as possible.
E−5. NOTAM SERVICE MESSAGES
If data is entered incorrectly, it will be rejected. Each rejection will be preceded with a service message (SVC)
explaining the cause for the rejection.
E−6. RETRIEVING FDC NOTAMS
a. Upon issuance, all FDC NOTAMs are given all circuit distribution and are stored in the NS. FDC NOTAMs
remain in the NS for the duration of their validity. FDC NOTAM cancellations remain in the NS for 72−hours
after transmission.
b. FDC NOTAMs may be retrieved via request/reply. To minimize response delays, each FDC NOTAM and
FDC NOTAM cancellation to be retrieved should be requested individually.
1. To retrieve an individual FDC NOTAM by number:
(a) When the location identifier and number are known:

2. BACKGROUND: This change is an extensive update to the order that includes multiple amendments and
corrections. Per FAA memorandum on NOTAM name modification in coordination with the FAA Administrator,
the acronym NOTAM is updated from Notice to Airmen to the more applicable term Notice to Air Missions,
which is inclusive of all aviators and missions. The order is updated to include International Civil Aviation
Organization (ICAO) contractions within NOTAM examples and to allow changes to Field Conditions (FICON)
NOTAMs to be more aligned with ICAO standards. All federally owned Automated Weather Observing System
(AWOS) equipment has been upgraded to AWOS−C, which has Aviation Selected Special Weather Report
(SPECI) capability. AWOS−C and ASOS are designed with functionally similar softward and sensor
configurations and provide the airport and Air Traffic Control (ATC) with the same Aviation Routine Weather
Report (METAR)/SPECI reports. The NTSB has recommended the standardization of NOTAM policy for ASOS
and AWOS outages during instances when automated sensors are not backed up by Weather Observers and/or Air
Traffic Controllers. The Domestic Notices and International Notices websites have transitioned from the current
28−day publication cycle to an on−demand basis with an allotted 10 days for processing. Therefore, references to
the 28−day publication cycle in several publications have been removed.
3. CHANGE:
OLD
1−1−1. PURPOSE
This order prescribes direction used to format and
distribute information regarding unanticipated or
temporary changes to services, components of, or
hazards in, the National Airspace System (NAS).
The Notices to Airmen (NOTAM) system does not
advertise published or charted data and informa
tion. Originators of airmen 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 time does not allow for
publication of a change or an outage and if the
subject matter meets NOTAM criteria, issue a
NOTAM until published.

pointing to another NOTAM, the keyword in the
pointer NOTAM must match the keyword in the
original NOTAM. If the NOTAM is pointing to a
publication, choose the most appropriate keyword
for the situation. For example, a pointer NOTAM at
a specific airport is used to highlight or “point out”

is responsible for issuing any procedural NOTAMs,
such as flight data center (FDC) NOTAMs. Consult
FAA Order 6750.24 to determine if any additional
NOTAM Ds should be issued. Ideally, a NOTAM
will allow authorized operators to continue, while
notifying unauthorized operators that the specified
approach procedure is not available. It is critical
that required NOTAMs alert users of an inoperative
facility or system. In some situations, an

"chunk_text": " modifying the acronym NOTAM from Notice to Airmen to the more applicable term Notice to Air Missions. Changes to Field Conditions (FICON) Reporting have been made regarding updated requirements for Runway Condition Codes (RwyCCs) NOTAMs, added verbiage that FICON must not be issued for a closed runway, and added verbiage stating RwyCCs are reported based on direction of assessment allowing for only one set of RwyCCs per runway. This change removes breaking action report of “good” as NOTAM criteria. This change also removes the reference to the 28−day publication cycle for International and Domestic Notices. Changes to permanent NOTAM procedures have been included. Added verbiage to allow for Simplified, Short ALS with Runway Alignment Lights temporarily changed as NOTAM criteria. Previously, unserviceable was the only option which did not accurately describe the reduced condition of the ALS. Changes also include updated United States NOTAM Office (USNOF) roles and responsibilities. This change sets the same NOTAM criteria for both Automated Surface Observing System (ASOS) and Federal Automated Weather Observation System (AWOS) regardless of who maintains them. This change also updates and makes editorial changes to publications related to this order. b. 2−1−4. DOMESTIC NOTICES AND INTERNATIONAL NOTICES This change removes the reference to the 28−day publication cycle in the paragraph concerning International Notices and Domestic Notices to reflect the transition to on−demand publication of these notices, effective May 20, 2021. c.

BACKGROUND: This change is an extensive update to the order that includes multiple amendments and corrections. Per FAA memorandum on NOTAM name modification in coordination with the FAA Administrator, the acronym NOTAM is updated from Notice to Airmen to the more applicable term Notice to Air Missions, which is inclusive of all aviators and missions. The order is updated to include International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) contractions within NOTAM examples and to allow changes to Field Conditions (FICON) NOTAMs to be more aligned with ICAO standards.

AWOS−C and ASOS are designed with functionally similar softward and sensor configurations and provide the airport and Air Traffic Control (ATC) with the same Aviation Routine Weather Report (METAR)/SPECI reports. The NTSB has recommended the standardization of NOTAM policy for ASOS and AWOS outages during instances when automated sensors are not backed up by Weather Observers and/or Air Traffic Controllers. The Domestic Notices and International Notices websites have transitioned from the current 28−day publication cycle to an on−demand basis with an allotted 10 days for processing. Therefore, references to the 28−day publication cycle in several publications have been removed. 3. CHANGE: OLD 1−1−1. PURPOSE This order prescribes direction used to format and distribute information regarding unanticipated or temporary changes to services, components of, or hazards in, the National Airspace System (NAS). The Notices to Airmen (NOTAM) system does not advertise published or charted data and informa tion. Originators of airmen 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 time does not allow for publication of a change or an outage and if the subject matter meets NOTAM criteria, issue a NOTAM until published. OLD 1−1−9.

" GENERAL 7930. 2S Chapter 2. Aeronautical Information Services Section 1. Aeronautical Information System The system for disseminating aeronautical information is made up of two subsystems, the Aeronautical Information System (AIS) and the NOTAM System. The AIS consists of charts and publications. The NOTAM system is discussed in later paragraphs. 2−1−2. DISSEMINATION OF AIRMEN INFORMATION Airmen information is disseminated by the following methods: a. Aeronautical charts depicting permanent baseline data: 1. IFR Charts: (a) Enroute High Altitude Conterminous U. S. (b) Enroute Low Altitude Conterminous U. S. (c) Alaska Charts (d) Pacific Charts 2. U. S. Terminal Procedures: (a) Departure Procedures (b) Standard Terminal Arrivals (STARs) (c) Standard Instrument Approach Procedures (SIAPs) 3. VFR Charts: (a) Sectional Aeronautical Charts (b) Terminal Area Charts (c) Helicopter Route Charts (d) Caribbean Charts (e) Wall Planning Charts b. Flight information publications outlining baseline data: 1. Domestic Notices and International Notices 2. U. S. Chart Supplement (formally Airport/Facility Directory) 3. Pacific Chart Supplement 4. Alaska Supplement 5. Aeronautical Information Manual (AIM) 2−1−3.

NAVAID MAINTENANCE SHUTDOWNS Information concerning maintenance shutdown of NAVAIDs that are part of the NAS must be handled as follows: a. Routine maintenance shutdown. When possible, approval should be obtained sufficiently in advance of the proposed shutdown time to allow dissemination of a NOTAM at least 5 hours before a shutdown will occur. A routine maintenance shutdown request must not be denied because of an inability to issue a NOTAM 5 hours in advance of the shutdown. b. Emergency shutdown. When possible, obtain at least 1−hour advance notice so that appropriate dissemination may be made before shutdown. c. Extended maintenance shutdown. Notify the Aeronautical Data Team sufficiently in advance to permit publication of the information prior to the shutdown date. When this is not possible, disseminate a NOTAM no more than 7 days before the shutdown. 5−3−5. UNMONITORED NAVAIDs a. All VOR, VORTAC, and ILS equipment in the NAS have automatic monitoring and shutdown features in the event of malfunction. b. When a navigational aid’s operational status cannot be monitored at the controlling or monitoring facility, but all indications or reports are the facility is operating normally, Technical Operations personnel must ensure the origination of a NOTAM placing the aid in an unmonitored status. c. When issuing a NOTAM describing a facility as unmonitored, do not use the category of monitor, only the phrase “NOT MNT. ” d. Do not issue a NOTAM for a standalone DME that is not monitored. e.

Technical Operations personnel, responsible for system monitoring, must ensure the origination of NOTAMs on the Federal Automated Weather Observation System (AWOS) as follows: 1. When malfunctions or discrepancies are identified, they must be verified by any of the following methods: (a) A certified weather observer, airport manager, or fixed base operator at the observation site. (b) Reports regarding a given observation by two pilots within 2 miles of the airport prior to the observation. (c) Technical operations personnel. NOTE− For non−federal automated weather systems, see paragraph 1−3−6, Non−Federal Facilities. 2. When verified, issue a NOTAM and notify the responsible technical operations office of the discrepancy, unless they reported the outage. If notified of system failure or other irregularity by other than a technical operations office that cannot be verified by the methods given above, forward the information to technical operations office for resolution. Accept NOTAM cancellation information only from the responsible technical operations office. b. Accept NOTAM information on Automated Surface Observing System (ASOS) only from the NWS Weather Forecast Office. Either the person on duty, Meteorologist in Charge, or Lead Forecaster, at the NWS Weather Forecast Office is responsible for requesting NOTAMs to be issued and cancelled regarding ASOS system malfunctions and return to service.

The USNOF must monitor the NS for compliance with the criteria and procedures set forth in this order. When questions arise on NOTAM dissemination, formats, contractions, or other aspects of the distribution system, the USNOF should be consulted. The authority for NOTAM formats is the USNOF, who will ensure that issued NOTAMs are consistent with FAA policy. NOTAM originators and certified sources must comply with USNOF personnel guidance. Discrepancies in procedures or format must be recorded, and Aeronautical Information Services must forward a list of the discrepancies to Flight Services, Safety and Operations Support, Operational Procedures, and the service area office. b. Editing: 1. The USNOF may edit any NOTAM (except FDC NOTAMs relating to instrument flight procedures) that does not conform to the formats and/or examples contained in this order. The contents of a NOTAM must not be changed without notifying the originating facility. NOTE− FDC NOTAMS relating to instrument approach and departure procedures are originated by the Mission Support Services – Aeronautical Information Services under the Flight Standards Service policy. ARTCCs must ensure the origination of NOTAMs pertaining to a Standard Terminal Arrival (STAR). 2. Should the USNOF edit a NOTAM and change the intent, the NOTAM must be canceled by the issuing facility and reissued as a new NOTAM, after consultation with the USNOF. General 4−1−1 ",

" modifying the acronym NOTAM from Notice to Airmen to the more applicable term Notice to Air Missions. Changes to Field Conditions (FICON) Reporting have been made regarding updated requirements for Runway Condition Codes (RwyCCs) NOTAMs, added verbiage that FICON must not be issued for a closed runway, and added verbiage stating RwyCCs are reported based on direction of assessment allowing for only one set of RwyCCs per runway. This change removes breaking action report of “good” as NOTAM criteria. This change also removes the reference to the 28−day publication cycle for International and Domestic Notices. Changes to permanent NOTAM procedures have been included. Added verbiage to allow for Simplified, Short ALS with Runway Alignment Lights temporarily changed as NOTAM criteria. Previously, unserviceable was the only option which did not accurately describe the reduced condition of the ALS. Changes also include updated United States NOTAM Office (USNOF) roles and responsibilities.

(2) Remaining Distance Restriction: Restriction occurs in the remaining distance to the runway, expressed in nautical miles from the runway threshold. For example, the localizer is unusable within 0. 3 NM of the threshold. (3) Usable Distance Restriction: Restrictions affecting the usable distance of the facility are measured in nautical miles from the antenna. For example, the localizer is unusable beyond 15 NM.

(a) If the NOTAM duration is expected to return to service prior to the End of Validity time, express the time by using a date−time group followed immediately by “EST” (estimate). Any NOTAM that includes an “EST” must be canceled or replaced before the NOTAM reaches its End of Validity time. If the NOTAM is not canceled or replaced, it will expire at the end of validity time regardless of EST. FDC NOTAMs relating to instrument flight procedures must not be canceled and reissued. (b) The NOTAM Originator is responsible for validating that any NOTAM that is coming to its End of Validity time can auto−expire. If the condition is still valid, the NOTAM must be canceled and reissued with a new Start/Stop time, PRIOR to the NOTAM reaching its End of Validity time. (c) When a NOTAM is",
" a. Technical Operations personnel must ensure the origination of NOTAM D concerning the malfunction or degradation of FAA maintained systems and/or equipment. b. When notified, Technical Operations and Air Traffic personnel must ensure the origination of NOTAM D concerning changes to air traffic services and capabilities, for which they are responsible. c. Services provided by air traffic control (such as surveillance approaches, practice instrument approaches, practice low approaches) do not meet NOTAM criteria as a standalone condition. 5−5−2. CHANGES TO PUBLISHED SERVICES a. The party that issues the NOTAM is responsible for formatting the information correctly. b. Originate a NOTAM for conditions pertaining to the following conditions: 1. Commissioning, decommissioning, or outage of TWRs, APPs, RAPCONs, FSSs, and ARTCCs that are part of the NAS. 2. Automatic Terminal Information Service (ATIS). 3. Automatic Flight Information Service. 4. Automated Universal Communication (AUNICOM). AUNICOMs have portions that are automatically broadcast along with the voice recordings. When these functions are unserviceable or not available, issue a NOTAM. 5−5−3. HOURS OF OPERATION Disseminate the following conditions as NOTAMs: a. Change in the hours of operation of an air traffic control facility or service. Tower hours of operation use the airport as the location identifier; for approach controls, since they cover a larger area, use the associated ARTCC(s). Approach controls located within multiple ARTCC airspace must have a separate NOTAM for each ARTCC. When needed, add which class of services is not available and whom to contact. Spell out facility names when used in the body of the NOTAM. b. Establishment of a temporary air traffic control tower. Specify the frequency(ies) to be used and, if",

Describe radial/ bearing from the station in a clockwise direction, altitude in terms of above or below an MSL altitude, and distance in terms of beyond or within a nautical mile distance. When defining a restriction adjacent to another in azimuth, the same radial should not be contained in both restrictions. For example: don’t state “020−090 and 090−110”, but rather state either, “020−090 and 091−110”, or “020−089 and 090−110. ” (1) When describing restrictions to these kind of facilities: [a] Describe the radials or bearings that are unusable. [b] Describe the mileage point beyond which the facility is unusable. [c] Describe any altitude restriction using the NOTAM format. (2) Follow this guidance for identifying specific components: [a] VOR/DME. Reference “VOR/DME” when the restriction simultaneously applies to both the VOR and DME performance. Just use “VOR” if the restriction only applies to the VOR component, and “DME” if it only applies to the DME component. [b] VORTAC. Reference “VORTAC” when all components (VOR, TACAN AZM, and DME) are being restricted together. Reference the individual component if the restriction only applies to that component. NOTE− When the DME portion of a VORTAC fails or is removed from service, the entire TACAN automatically becomes inoperative.

" (AWOS) equipment has been upgraded to AWOS−C, which has Aviation Selected Special Weather Report (SPECI) capability. AWOS−C and ASOS are designed with functionally similar softward and sensor configurations and provide the airport and Air Traffic Control (ATC) with the same Aviation Routine Weather Report (METAR)/SPECI reports. The NTSB has recommended the standardization of NOTAM policy for ASOS and AWOS outages during instances when automated sensors are not backed up by Weather Observers and/or Air Traffic Controllers. The Domestic Notices and International Notices websites have transitioned from the current 28−day publication cycle to an on−demand basis with an allotted 10 days for processing. Therefore, references to the 28−day publication cycle in several publications have been removed. 3. CHANGE: OLD 1−1−1. PURPOSE This order prescribes direction used to format and distribute information regarding unanticipated or temporary changes to services, components of, or hazards in, the National Airspace System (NAS). The Notices to Airmen (NOTAM) system does not advertise published or charted data and informa tion. Originators of airmen 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 time does not allow for publication of a change or an outage and if the subject matter meets NOTAM criteria, issue a NOTAM until published. OLD 1−1−9.

" unchanging boundaries. System Operations Security will provide Aeronautical Information Services with updates and revisions to these charted long−term, security related TFRs, as needed, to ensure the data published on the charts is current. k. The U. S. NOTAM Governance Team is the FAA’s authoritative source for US NOTAM Policy, responsible for the maintenance, update, and publication of this order, which establishes national policy for the National Airspace System (NAS) NOTAM operations. Additionally, the team is comprised of NOTAM Subject Matter Experts for domestic and international NOTAMs. This ensures global harmonization with ICAO Annexes, Standards and Recommended Practices, and other documents. The team also provides policy guidance, oversight, and interpretations for consistent application of US NOTAM standards. l. USNOF executes the operational compliance function. When operational personnel of the USNOF determine that NOTAM information submitted is not in compliance with the criteria or procedures as prescribed, they must call this to the attention of the transmitting party. The USNOF forwards NOTAM policy questions to the U. S. NOTAM Governance Team for decision−making in consultation with other interested program offices. The USNOF is responsible for operating the NOTAM system. USNOF originates NOTAMs, as needed.

A NOTAM may be originated for a scheduled condition/activity that will occur during the period. Specify the schedule between the condition/activity and the valid time string. The days of the week must be specified before the scheduled time. The term “DLY” (daily) indicates the event will occur each day at the same time during the stated time period. The start time of the schedule must correspond to the start of activity time. The end of the last schedule must correspond to the end of validity time.

" originated to advertise a permanent condition that will be published in a publication, chart or database “PERM” should be inserted as the expiration date in lieu of a 10−digit date−time group. PERM is also used as the end of validity for certain NOTAMs that 1) pertain to or support national security, law enforcement, and aviation security requirements, and 2) contain flight prohibitions for U. S. operators and U. S. airmen regarding operations in particular areas of non−U. S. controlled airspace due to weapons related hazards or other hostile threats to civil aviation. The NOTAM originator is responsible for canceling the NOTAM upon publication, as PERM will not auto−expire. (d) All NOTAMs will auto−cancel at their End of Validity time, except PERM. (e) For an uncontrolled airport, when a NOTAM originator submits a candidate NOTAM to the NOTAM System to advertise an Airport or Runway condition with a Start of Activity less than 60 minutes before the beginning of an activity that impacts/closes a runway or an airport, the activity must be reported to the Air Traffic Control (ATC) facility that has control jurisdiction. c. NOTAMs issued when the condition of a number of facilities, NAVAIDs, services, or landing areas/runways are related to the same event (for example, date/time, facility closing, part−timing, runway closures, etc. ) must be issued as separate NOTAMs. d. Each NOTAM concerning a specific aid, service, or hazard must be a complete report including all deviations unless reference is made to other restrictions already published. e. If information is published elsewhere and is still valid, reference must be made to that publication with the statement, “PLUS SEE (publication). ” A NOTAM issued not stating “PLUS SEE (publication)”",
" (CAT) II or III authorizations. Internal processes are in place between the Oklahoma City Service Center (OKC SC), the National Operations Control Center (NOCC), and Aeronautical Information Services (AIS) to ensure FDC NOTAM(s) resulting from reported facility outages, flight inspection results, or restriction changes are issued. The NOCC automatically notifies the AIS when there is a facility outage or restoration. The OKC SC will notify AIS when a flight inspection results in a new or canceled facility restriction. 4. Expanded Service Volume (ESV). When a facility no longer supports a particular ESV, an FDC NOTAM must be issued for each published instrument flight procedure that requires that ESV. 5. Preparation of NOTAM(s). (a) NOTAM(s) must include facility name, type, component, and the unusable area/altitude. The absence of a specific altitude or distance denotes all altitudes and distances. It is important to include specific information to avoid confusion. The reason for the restriction (e. g. , lack of signal, frequency interference, course structure, alignment, unlocks) serves no useful purpose and must not be included in the text of the NOTAM. (b) Restrictions to VORTAC and TACAN facilities are issued via NOTAM D, including TACAN azimuth restrictions. The NOTAM preparation for the TACAN azimuth component of a VORTAC is identical to the VOR. 6. Facility Restrictions. Restrictions to NAVAIDs are normally published by segment: for example, 020−055 degree radials. To correct a given segment, cancel the original NOTAM and issue a completely new NOTAM. Every effort should be made to restrict rather than remove from service a facility, or instrument procedure, when out of tolerance conditions are found. Describe lateral restrictions in a clock−wise (CW) direction. The following illustrate",

1. Introduction
This guidance has been created with the objective of supporting NOTAM sponsors in the
preparation and submission phase to enable clear and concise provision of information to its
readers.
1.1 NOTAM Definition - (ICAO Annex 15)
“A notice distributed by means of telecommunication containing information concerning
the establishment, condition or change in any aeronautical facility, service, procedure or
hazard, the timely knowledge of which is essential to personnel concerned with flight
operations.”
1.2 NOTAM Proliferation
Statistics indicate that the number of NOTAM being distributed globally continues to
escalate. The UK NOTAM office alone transmits in excess of 5558 NOTAM every month.
As the complexities around services and facilities increase, so the requirement to deliver
consistent information in an accurate and timely manner becomes vital.
1.3 NOTAM Sponsorship
In practical terms planned changes to facilities and services affecting the safe operation
of aircraft should be notified to AIS giving as much notice as possible. While un-
serviceable and un-planned events can only be announced as they occur.
1.4 Assessment Process
If a hazard is assessed as having a significant impact on the safe operation of an aircraft
or a change to the information published in the AIP has taken place, then a NOTAM may
be considered to announce the circumstances.
1.5 A NOTAM shall be considered for the following:
a) Establishment, closure or significant changes in operation of aerodrome(s) or
heliport(s) or runways.
b) Establishment, withdrawal or significant changes in operation of aeronautical
services (aerodromes, AIS, ATS, communications, navigation and surveillance
(CNS), meteorology (MET), search and rescue (SAR), etc.).
c) Establishment, withdrawal or significant changes in operational capability of radio
navigation and air-ground communication services. This includes: interruption or
return to operation, change of frequencies, change in notified hours of service,
change of identification, change of orientation (directional aids), change of
location, power increase or decrease amounting to 50 per cent or more, change
in broadcast schedules or contents, or irregularity or unreliability of operation of
any radio navigation and air-ground communication services or limitations of relay
stations including operational impact, affected service, frequency and area;
d) Unavailability of back-up and secondary systems, having a direct operational
impact.
e) Establishment, withdrawal or significant changes to visual aids.

UK NOTAM GUIDANCE MATERIAL
f) Interruption of or return to operation of major components of aerodrome lighting
systems.
g) Establishment, withdrawal or significant changes to procedures for air navigation
services.
h) Occurrence or correction of major defects or impediments in the manoeuvring
area.
i) Changes to and limitations on availability of fuel, oil and oxygen.
j) Major changes to search and rescue facilities and services available.
k) Establishment, withdrawal or return to operation of hazard beacons marking
obstacles to air navigation.
l) Changes in regulations requiring immediate action, eg prohibited areas for SAR
action.
m) Presence of hazards not otherwise promulgated, which affect air navigation
(including obstacles, military exercises and operations, intentional and
unintentional radio frequency interferences, rocket launches, displays, fireworks,
sky lanterns, rocket debris, races and major parachuting events.
n) Conflict zones which affect air navigation (to include information that is as
specific as possible regarding the nature and extent of threats of that conflict
and its consequences for civil aviation)
o) Planned laser emissions, laser displays and search lights if pilots’ night vision is
likely to be impaired.
p) Erecting or removal of, or changes to, obstacles to air navigation in the take-
off/climb, missed approach, approach areas and runway strip.
q) Establishment or discontinuance (including activation or deactivation) as
applicable, or changes in the status of prohibited, restricted or danger areas.
r) Establishment or discontinuance of areas or routes or portions thereof where the
possibility of interception exists and where the maintenance of guard on the VHF
emergency frequency 121.5 MHz is required.
s) Allocation, cancellation or change of location indicators.
t) Changes in aerodrome/heliport rescue and firefighting category provided (see
Annex 14, Volume I, Chapter 9, and Attachment A, Section 17).
u) Presence or removal of, or significant changes in, hazardous conditions due to
snow, slush, ice, radioactive material, toxic chemicals, volcanic ash deposition or
water on the movement area.
v) Outbreaks of epidemics necessitating changes in notified requirements for
inoculations and quarantine measures.
w) Observations or forecasts of space weather phenomena, the date and time of
their occurrence, the flight levels where provided and portions of the airspace
which may be affected by the phenomena.
x) An operationally significant change in volcanic activity, the location, date and
time of volcanic eruptions and/or horizontal and vertical extent of volcanic ash
cloud, including direction of movement, flight levels and routes or portions of
routes which could be affected.
y) Release into the atmosphere of radioactive materials or toxic chemicals following
a nuclear or chemical incident, the location, date and time of the incident, the
flight levels and routes or portions thereof which could be affected and the
direction of movement.
z) Establishment of operations of humanitarian relief missions, such as those
undertaken under the auspices of the United Nations, together with procedures
and/or limitations which affect air navigation; and
aa) Implementation of short-term contingency measures in cases of disruption, or
partial disruption, of ATS and related supporting services
1.6 The following information shall not be notified by NOTAM:
a) Routine maintenance work on aprons and taxiways which does not affect the
safe movement of aircraft.
b) Runway marking work, when aircraft operations can safely be conducted on
other available runways, or the equipment used can be removed when
necessary.

c) Temporary obstructions in the vicinity of aerodromes/heliports that do not affect
the safe operation of aircraft.
d) Partial failure of aerodrome/heliport lighting facilities where such failure does not
directly affect aircraft operations.
e) Partial temporary failure of air-ground communications when suitable alternative
frequencies are known to be available and are operative.
f) The lack of apron marshalling services and road traffic control.
g) The unserviceability of location, destination or other instruction signs on the
aerodrome movement area.
h) Parachuting when in uncontrolled airspace under VFR (see 6.3.2.3 m), when
controlled, at promulgated sites or within danger or prohibited areas.
i) Training activities by ground units.
j) Unavailability of back-up and secondary systems if these do not have an
operational impact.
k) Limitations to airport facilities or general services with no operational impact.
l) National regulations not affecting general aviation.
m) Announcement or warnings about possible/potential limitations, without any
operational impact.
n) General reminders on already published information.
o) Availability of equipment for ground units without containing information on the
operational impact for airspace and facility users.
p) Information about laser emissions without any operational impact and fireworks
below minimum flying heights.
q) Closure of movement area parts in connection with planned work locally
coordinated of duration of less than one hour.
r) Closure or unavailability of, or changes in, operation of aerodrome(s)/heliport(s)
outside the aerodrome(s)/heliport(s) operational hours; and
s) Other non-operational information of a similar temporary nature.
1.7 Permanent Changes to the UK Civil AIP
Permanent Changes to the UK AIP are to be submitted using the online process available
from the AIS Portal https://www.aurora.nats.co.uk/
Note: More information about submitting AIP Change Requests and publishing other
aeronautical information products can be found here: https://nats-uk.ead-it.com/cms-
nats/opencms/en/Publications/submit-change-request/
Do not use AFTN to sponsor a Permanent NOTAM, they should be submitted via Aurora
Data Originators Portal as part of the AIP Change Request. However, during out-of-hours,
if a Perm change is imminent and critical to Flight Safety then a temporary NOTAM may
be issued for a maximum of 7 days. The sponsor must submit an AIP CR as soon as
possible but within 7 days.
1.8 Regulatory approvals
Compliance with regulatory approval requirements shall not inhibit the urgent distribution
of aeronautical information necessary to ensure the safety of flight.
Regulatory approvals of items submitted via Aurora Data Originators Portal are sent to
the CAA directly by the AIS.
Notifying the CAA about any temporary changes promulgated via NOTAM, to data items
requiring regulatory approval, remain the responsibility of the Sponsor but UK NOF may be
asked for assistance or coordination.
10th August 2023
3 of 13
UK NOTAM GUIDANCE MATERIAL
When an aerodrome wishes to temporarily increase their declared distance, eg special
events, the AD Operator must obtain prior approval from (SRG) before a NOTAM is
proposed.
Note: More information about regulatory approvals and notifications process is provided
in CAP 1054.
1.9 Permanent Changes to the UK Mil AIP
Military units can issue permanent NOTAM via AFTN; however, the sponsor is to advise
No 1 AIDU as soon as possible to ensure the UK Mil AIP is updated.
Note: UK MIL AIP is available at https://www.aidu.mod.uk/aip/, more information on
submitting changes to the UK MIL AIP and publishing other MIL aeronautical information
products can be found here: https://www.aidu.mod.uk/aip/userSupport.html
1.10 Temporary Changes
The principle means of delivering temporary NOTAM proposals to AIS is by use of the
AFTN. If AFTN is not available due to connectivity issues, then sponsors can email their
proposal to [email protected] using the NOTAM form at the following
address: https://nats-uk.ead-it.com/cms-nats/opencms/en/NOTAM/#NOTAM_REQUEST_FORM
Authorised sponsors that do not have an AFPEX account can sign up for a free NOTAM
only account.
AFPEX can be found here: www.myafpex.co.uk
Apply for an AFPEX account: https://ts1.flightplanningonline.co.uk/applyingForAnAccount.html
AFPEX NOTAM Help/Guide can be found here: https://www.myafpex.co.uk/guides/notam.php
1.11 NOTAM Duration Information of a permanent character
Within three months from the issuing of a permanent NOTAM, the information contained
in the NOTAM shall be included in the aeronautical information products affected (eg AIP,
charts, datasets).
If at the time of NOTAM submission, it is clear that the information is permanent, PERM
NOTAM should be issued. Please see paragraph 1.7 Permanent Changes to the UK Civil
AIP above.
Information of a temporary character
Within three months from the issuing of a temporary NOTAM of long duration, the
information contained in the NOTAM shall be included in other aeronautical information
products.
It means that if at the time of NOTAM submission, it is clear to the Sponsor that the
information is temporary but of long duration, NOTAM can be issued for 90 days, and
other aeronautical information products must be proposed by the Sponsor to promulgate
the information beyond the period of validity of such NOTAM.
When a NOTAM with estimated end of validity unexpectedly exceeds the three-month
period, a replacement NOTAM can be issued once. In each case UK NOF should be made
aware of the re-issuance. A request for a second (and further) re-issuance of the same
NOTAM is subject to CAA’s approval. The CAA may agree to re-issue NOTAM if sufficient
justification is provided by the Sponsor and it is clear that it is necessary to ensure safety
of aircraft operations.
Note: UK NOF records every re-issued NOTAM and provided justification for audit
purposes.

2. Type
2.1 Airspace Activities
Planned Activities such as air exercises, flight trials, air displays, ballooning, kite flying
etc impacting upon normal flying operations must be brought to the attention of other
airspace users. To facilitate this, a department within the CAA, Airspace Regulation (AR)
([email protected] 01293 983880) acts as a focal point to validate and co-ordinate
airspace activities taking place within the UK.
Organisers of such events are required to contact the CAA giving as much notice as
possible. An individual assessment of each activity is conducted by an Airspace Specialist
resulting in an appropriate method of notification on behalf of the organiser.
Note: More information about event and obstacle notification can be found here:
https://www.caa.co.uk/Commercial-industry/Airspace/Event-and-obstacle-
notification/Event-and-obstacle-notification/
2.2 ‘Out-of-Hours’ Nav Warnings
a) When the NOF receives a NOTAM for a Nav Warning request outside the CAA AR
operational hours which has not been de-conflicted by CAA AR, NOF shall inform the
sponsor about the NOTAM policy and advise the sponsor to contact CAA AR, the NOF
should also inform CAA AR about the request.
b) However where there is an urgent need to distribute a NOTAM for a Nav Warning to ensure
safety of operations and when contact with CAA AR is not possible before the start of the
activity (or occurrence of any other hazard to air navigation) and the sponsor has
confirmed that the activity (or hazard) cannot be cancelled (or hazard eliminated) or
delayed, a NOTAM should be published. Both CAA AR and CAA AIMR should be notified via
email including a copy of the NOTAM (marked HIGH IMPORTANCE). CAA AR shall de-
conflict such notifications at the earliest opportunity.
c) It is the Sponsor’s responsibility to notify AR in advance of any planned unusual aerial
activities taking place outside an ATZ to ensure de-confliction of the airspace. Publication
of a NOTAM cannot be considered as a means of notifying the CAA about the activity and
must not be considered as approval for the activity.
d) CAA AR Operational hours for the purpose of the arrangements in this policy are:
a. Mon – Fri 08:30 – 16:30 (excluding UK public bank holidays and notified closed
periods).
e) The above policy is valid for new NOTAM requests as well as changes and cancellations of
published NOTAM for Nav Warnings unless agreed otherwise between CAA AR, NOF and
the sponsor(s).
2.3 Unlicensed Aerodromes
Unlicensed aerodromes with or without an ICAO 4-letter location indicator are able to
propose NOTAM for safety related subjects for facilities and services at their aerodrome.
Such information will be issued as an E Series NOTAM. Unlicensed aerodromes with or
without an AFTN that have unusual aerial activities shall be brought to the attention of
CAA Airspace Regulation who will consider an H series NOTAM.
2.4 En-route Obstacles
The ENR 5.4 section of the UK AIP contains a list of all known obstacles in the UK FIRs
above 100m/328ft AGL. The information includes unique references, obstacle types and
whether lighting is known to be fitted or not. The source of all information published in
this section is the Defence Geographic Centre (DGC).
10th August 2023
5 of 13
UK NOTAM GUIDANCE MATERIAL
If a permanent or temporary change is known to have taken place, e.g. a new en-route
obstacle or a lighting outage, then the CAA must be notified.
Note: More information about event and obstacle notification can be found here:
https://www.caa.co.uk/Commercial-industry/Airspace/Event-and-obstacle-
notification/Event-and-obstacle-notification/
2.5 Aerodrome Obstacles/safeguarding
An aerodrome has the sole responsibility for notifying relevant obstacles affecting
aerodrome operations in accordance with CAP 738 and 785. Consequently, a NOTAM
proposal received by NOF from an aerodrome notifying obstacles can therefore be
regarded as necessary for the purposes of aerodrome safeguarding.
A NOTAM proposal received by NOF from an aerodrome must include –
i.
Type of obstacle.
ii. Obstacle position and location, represented by geographical coordinates in
degrees, minutes, seconds and tenths of seconds if required for accuracy.
iii. Obstacle height in AGL and AMSL in feet
iv. Obstacle marking, and type and colour of obstacle lighting (if any).
(NOF will defer to proposer if any of these criteria are missing.)
The NOF will promulgate the NOTAM as scope ‘AE’ thereby ensuring the information is
included in an aerodrome PIB and En-route PIB.
CAA/AR section propose ‘N’ series (En-route) NOTAM for obstacles over 100m/328ft AGL
and not affecting aerodrome operations that are notified to CAA by owners/operators.
Obstacles above 100m/328ft AGL that are outside of the safeguarding area, but within
an aerodrome’s controlled airspace shall be promulgated using scope ‘AE’ thereby
ensuring the information will appear in an aerodrome (PIB) and En-route PIB.
2.6 Aerodrome NOTAM Processing
If the obstacle is assessed as affecting more than one licensed aerodrome, then additional
NOTAM may be issued to ensure that the notification appears on all relevant PIB. One
NOTAM will be scoped as AE (Aerodrome and En-route), any additional NOTAM will be
scoped A to identify other affected aerodrome/s.
2.7 New/Temporary obstacles regarding the safe operation of aircraft
All obstacles over 100 m (328ft) AGL are to be notified to the CAA. It is mandatory to
notify the CAA of any obstacle of a height of 100m AGL and more. This requirement
applies regardless of where the obstacle is located.
Obstacles within aerodrome notification areas should be notified to the relevant
aerodrome operator.
Occasionally unverified reports are received from the public describing the presence of
an obstacle. In response to any report received ‘out of hours’, AIS will raise a NOTAM
containing a statement “UNVERIFIED REPORT OF OBSTACLE” until verification by the CAA
or MAMC can take place.

2.11 Firework Displays
Information relating to firework displays that do not exceed 1000ft AGL will only routinely
be promulgated by NOTAM if the display falls within the area defined in Annex B to CAP
736. NOTAM action may also be taken if the display lies inside CAS or close to known
low-level aircraft routes.
3. NOTAM
3.1 The AFTN NOTAM Proposal
As a general principle, each submission should deal with only one subject and one
condition. Avoid sending a NOTAM proposal that describes a multitude of disconnected
subjects. The information must be clear and unambiguous giving the reader the ability
to quickly assess the impact.
Be mindful that the information will be delivered to an international audience where a
great many recipients will not have English as their primary language.
All proposals should be transmitted to the UK NOF using the AFTN address EUECYIYP.
This address is used by those NOF Offices that have adopted the European AIS Database
(EAD) service for broadcasting their NOTAM.
When composing the NOTAM Proposal, it is important that the first line of text is
constructed according to an explicit format. The message is to be prefixed with the type
10th August 2023
7 of 13
UK NOTAM GUIDANCE MATERIAL
of NOTAM i.e. NOTAMN to announce a new NOTAM, NOTAMR to replace a current
NOTAM and NOTAMC to cancel a NOTAM.
The use of PROPOSAL EGGN in the first line of text is compulsory and signifies that the
message is for the attention of the UK NOTAM Office.
After the first line, the message can take any format. The closer the content is aligned to
the NOTAM format the quicker AIS will be able to process the message for distribution.
Some examples follow:

CANCEL NOTAM F0125/13 WORK COMPLETED AHEAD OF SCHEDULE
NOTAMR PROPOSAL EGGN A0123/12
EXTEND NOTAM A0123/12 UNTIL 28 JUN 1500 DUE CONTINUED OUTAGE
3.2 NOTAM Format
NOTAM are required to conform to an explicit template. Using the example below, an
explanation of the format follows:
A1234/14 NOTAMN
Q) EGTT/QMRLC/IV/NBO/A/000/999/5129N00028W005
A) EGLL
B) 1408231500 C) 1409310500
D) 1500-1600, 0430-0500
E) RWY 09R/27L CLOSED DUE WIP
3.3 The NOTAM Construct:
A1234/13 represents the NOTAM Series, followed by a sequential 4-digit number,
followed by two digits to indicate the year. (Max 9999/YY).
NOTAMN Indicates this is a new NOTAM. Other options are R for NOTAM replacing
another or C for one cancelling another. Replacement NOTAM can only be used to replace
a NOTAM that is already in effect
Q) EGTT/QMRLC/IV/NBO/A/000/999/5129N00028W005
The Qualifying line, or Q Line, is an AIS tool used to categorise the NOTAM according to
its scope. It consists of up to eight fields separated by a stroke (/) comprising FIR, Q
Code, Traffic, Purpose, Scope, Vertical Limits, Co-ordinates and Radius.
EGTT is an ICAO code, identifying the (London) FIR to which the NOTAM refers. Should
the activity take place in more than one FIR then the code EGXX is applied and the
specific FIRS affected are inserted into field A of the NOTAM
QMRLC is a 5 letter NOTAM code identifying subject and status. In this case MR is a
Runway, LC indicates a closed status. IV indicates that this information is significant for
both IFR and VFR operations while NBO indicates a message for immediate attention, for
inclusion in a PIB and operationally significant.
10th August 2023
8 of 13
UK NOTAM GUIDANCE MATERIAL
A represents the scope which in this case is an Aerodrome NOTAM as opposed to an En-
Route E NOTAM or Navigation Warning W. Combinations AE and AW can also be applied
according to the subject being described.
000/999 represents the lower and upper limits expressed as a flight level. In this case
it is left as a default as it is not applicable.
5129N00028W005 is the ‘Centre point’ using degrees and minutes followed by a radius
of influence. In this case the default value of 5NM has been applied based on the
aerodrome ARP. A default radius of 999 is applied for NOTAM that cannot be associated
to a specific area and for those that affect the whole FIR.
Position (Where)
A) EGLL is the ICAO code of the aerodrome (Heathrow). While it is possible to insert
more than one FIR into this field, it is only possible to enter one Aerodrome. This means
that separate NOTAM are required if the impact is on two or more aerodromes.
Effective from (Begins)
B) 1408231500 is the Date/time group in UTC when the NOTAM becomes effective.
Year, Month, Day, Time. NOTAM used to replace or cancel other NOTAM can only be
issued With Immediate Effect (WIE) and cannot have a future effective (start) date.
Effective until (Finishes)
C) 1409310500 is the Date/time group in UTC when the NOTAM ceases to be effective.
Temporary NOTAM shall exist no longer than 90 days.
Where an expiry date/time can only be estimated EST may be included in Field C for
temporary NOTAM. Sponsors shall take action to cancel or replace the NOTAM before the
EST expiry time.
Planned Schedule (Optional)
D) 1500-1630, 0430-0500 this provides the opportunity to describe a schedule of
events within the effective date of the NOTAM. This is particularly useful for events that
take place over a period of days or weeks. Irregular schedules that do not meet certain
criteria will have to be described in the plain language part of the NOTAM
Plain Language (Free-text)
E) RWY 09R/27L CLOSED DUE WIP is the textual part of the NOTAM indicating that
Runway 09/27 is closed due to work in progress.
This item describes the ‘subject’ and ‘condition’ and is probably the most important part
of the message. The information should be explicit giving the reader the ability to quickly
assess the impact to their operation.
Start with a ‘headline’ to describe the subject and event e.g. RWY…CLOSED, TWY… WIP,
DANGER AREA … ACTIVATED, FREQUENCY … U/S. After which supplemental information
may be considered to describe the impact.
Avoid information that may be considered as ‘nice to have’ or complementary. Use
internationally recognised abbreviations (as per ICAO Doc 8400) unless their use creates
misunderstanding. A list of abbreviations is available in the General (GEN) section of the
AIP but note that National abbreviations (in italics) cannot be used for NOTAM.

UK NOTAM GUIDANCE MATERIAL
Use of Coordinates
If there is a requirement to describe an area or polygon, the provision of coordinates
Degrees/Minutes/Seconds shall be used e.g. 521049N 0012035W. When describing an
area repeat the first coordinate in full to close the polygon.
Supplementary Information
The judgment needed to assess the extent of information required in a NOTAM can be
problematical. Too much information can serve to overwhelm the reader, whereas not
enough information will fail to provide them with an opportunity to assess the impact on
the operation.
Guidance in composing the text of a NOTAM can be obtained by contacting the NOTAM
Office directly to establish that the proposal clearly captures the objective.
Vertical Parameters
Fields F & G describe lower and upper limits. They are not used for Aerodrome NOTAM
scoped A; however, they are used for airspace notifications such as navigation warnings,
airspace reservations and Danger Area activities. The sponsor should ensure that
appropriate values are included in the NOTAM proposal e.g. FL090, 3000FT AMSL.
When the values in Fields F and G are expressed as a flight level (FL) or altitude (AMSL)
the associated FL values will also be applied in the Q Line. It is recommended that the
use of AGL is avoided in fields F & G, as it demands a calculation based upon the highest
terrain elevation for the region or FIR.
3.4 Transmission
NOTAM are automatically transmitted by AFTN to the distribution list managed by UK
NOF. Requests to amend the AFTN distribution lists used for NOTAM shall be directed to
the UK NOF using email address: [email protected].

The UK NOTAM office alone transmits in excess of 5558 NOTAM every month. As the complexities around services and facilities increase, so the requirement to deliver consistent information in an accurate and timely manner becomes vital. 1. 3 NOTAM Sponsorship In practical terms planned changes to facilities and services affecting the safe operation of aircraft should be notified to AIS giving as much notice as possible"

Consequently, a NOTAM proposal received by NOF from an aerodrome notifying obstacles can therefore be regarded as necessary for the purposes of aerodrome safeguarding. A NOTAM proposal received by NOF from an aerodrome must include – i. Type of obstacle. ii. Obstacle position and location, represented by geographical coordinates in degrees, minutes, seconds and tenths of seconds if required for accuracy. iii. Obstacle height in AGL and AMSL in feet iv.

It is mandatory to notify the CAA of any obstacle of a height of 100m AGL and more. This requirement applies regardless of where the obstacle is located. Obstacles within aerodrome notification areas should be notified to the relevant aerodrome operator.

It is recommended that the use of AGL is avoided in fields F & G, as it demands a calculation based upon the highest terrain elevation for the region or FIR. 3. 4 Transmission NOTAM are automatically transmitted by AFTN to the distribution list managed by UK NOF.

NOTAM 3. 1 The AFTN NOTAM Proposal As a general principle, each submission should deal with only one subject and one condition. Avoid sending a NOTAM proposal that describes a multitude of disconnected subjects. The information must be clear and unambiguous giving the reader the ability to quickly assess the impact. Be mindful that the information will be delivered to an international audience where a great many recipients will not have English as their primary language. All proposals should be transmitted to the UK NOF using the AFTN address EUECYIYP. This address is used by those NOF Offices that have adopted the European AIS Database (EAD) service for broadcasting their NOTAM. When composing the NOTAM Proposal, it is important that the first line of text is constructed according to an explicit format. The message is to be prefixed with the type 10th August 2023 7 of 13 \fUK NOTAM GUIDANCE MATERIAL of NOTAM i. e. NOTAMN to announce a new NOTAM, NOTAMR to replace a current NOTAM and NOTAMC to cancel a NOTAM.

Introduction This guidance has been created with the objective of supporting NOTAM sponsors in the preparation and submission phase to enable clear and concise provision of information to its readers. 1. 1 NOTAM Definition - (ICAO Annex 15) “A notice distributed by means of telecommunication containing information concerning the establishment, condition or change in any aeronautical facility, service, procedure or hazard, the timely knowledge of which is essential to personnel concerned with flight operations. ” 1. 2 NOTAM Proliferation Statistics indicate that the number of NOTAM being distributed globally continues to escalate. The UK NOTAM office alone transmits in excess of 5558 NOTAM every month. As the complexities around services and facilities increase, so the requirement to deliver consistent information in an accurate and timely manner becomes vital. 1. 3 NOTAM Sponsorship In practical terms planned changes to facilities and services affecting the safe operation of aircraft should be notified to AIS giving as much notice as possible",

Replacement NOTAM can only be used to replace a NOTAM that is already in effect Q) EGTT/QMRLC/IV/NBO/A/000/999/5129N00028W005 The Qualifying line, or Q Line, is an AIS tool used to categorise the NOTAM according to its scope. It consists of up to eight fields separated by a stroke (/) comprising FIR, Q Code, Traffic, Purpose, Scope, Vertical Limits, Co-ordinates and Radius. EGTT is an ICAO code, identifying the (London) FIR to which the NOTAM refers. Should the activity take place in more than one FIR then the code EGXX is applied and the specific FIRS affected are inserted into field A of the NOTAM QMRLC is a 5 letter NOTAM code identifying subject and status. In this case MR is a Runway, LC indicates a closed status. IV indicates that this information is significant for both IFR and VFR operations while NBO indicates a message for immediate attention, for inclusion in a PIB and operationally significant. 10th August 2023 8 of 13 \fUK NOTAM GUIDANCE MATERIAL A represents the scope which in this case is an Aerodrome NOTAM as opposed to an En- Route E NOTAM or Navigation Warning W. Combinations AE and AW can also be applied according to the subject being described. 000/999 represents the lower and upper limits expressed as a flight level. In this case it is left as a default as it is not applicable. 5129N00028W005 is the ‘Centre point’ using degrees and minutes followed by a radius of influence. In this case the default "

Publication of a NOTAM cannot be considered as a means of notifying the CAA about the activity and must not be considered as approval for the activity. d) CAA AR Operational hours for the purpose of the arrangements in this policy are: a. Mon – Fri 08:30 – 16:30 (excluding UK public bank holidays and notified closed periods). e) The above policy is valid for new NOTAM requests as well as changes and cancellations of published NOTAM for Nav Warnings unless agreed otherwise between CAA AR, NOF and the sponsor(s). 2. 3 Unlicensed Aerodromes Unlicensed aerodromes with or without an ICAO 4-letter location indicator are able to propose NOTAM for safety related subjects for facilities and services at their aerodrome. Such information will be issued as an E Series NOTAM. Unlicensed aerodromes with or without an AFTN that have unusual aerial activities shall be brought to the attention of CAA Airspace Regulation who will consider an H series NOTAM. 2. 4 En-route Obstacles The ENR 5. 4 section of the UK AIP contains a list of all known obstacles in the UK FIRs above 100m/328ft AGL. The information includes unique references, obstacle types and whether lighting is known to be fitted or not.

When the values in Fields F and G are expressed as a flight level (FL) or altitude (AMSL) the associated FL values will also be applied in the Q Line. It is recommended that the use of AGL is avoided in fields F & G, as it demands a calculation based upon the highest terrain elevation for the region or FIR. 3. 4 Transmission NOTAM are automatically transmitted by AFTN to the distribution list managed by UK NOF.
