  1. U.S. Aeronautical Information Management (AIM) Modernization Update on digital Federal NOTAM System Brett Brunk Aeronautical Information Management group December 2008

  2. Purpose • To share our experience as the United States modernizes Aeronautical Information Management and delivers a digital Federal NOTAM System (FNS) • Goals • Challenges • Concept of Operation • Progress towards digital Federal NOTAM System

  3. Shortfalls addressed • High operating costs • Convoluted and stove-piped system architecture – “Accidental Architecture” • Many point-to-point system interfaces • Hardware and software at or beyond End of Service Life (EOSL) • Services do not meet customer needs • Demand for digital information (Digital, Graphical NOTAM) • Plain language • Improve quality of service • Ensure service delivery to customers • Foundation for advanced flight planning and trajectory analysis • Not compliant with ICAO

  4. Text EntryFaxDigital EntryPhoneSystem Interface AirportMilitaryForest ServiceSecurityFacilitiesProcedures ManualValidation NOTAM Databases Publish Distribution of NOTAM is equally complicatedtoday! NOTAM entry pathways today

  5. AIM Validate and Publish by FAA Integrated permanent and temporary informationComputer readableElectronic distribution to customers Originate NOTAMs at the Source Digital Capture (AIXM via templates) New Concept of OperationsFederal NOTAM System DATALINK Web Web Page Service (AIXM) Legacy Formats Web service (AIXM) Originator Federal NOTAM System

  6. Expected Benefits • Decrease in incidents where NOTAMs are a contributing factor • Decrease data collection and interpretation costs • Approximately $2M annually for major US carriers • Decrease system operations costs • Approximately $4M annually for US government • Timely, accurate and complete aeronautical information benefits flight operations • Improvements for controllers and pilot situational awareness

  8. Federal NOTAM System2008/2009 operational demonstration 2008 2010 2012 2014+ FNS 2 • Digital Entry • AIXM Event Specifications • SNOW, Runways and Obstacles • Web site concepts • Airport NOTAM summary • NOTAM queries • Concept validation • Technology, Policy, Safety and Outreach • Field studies • Limited deployment demonstrations Federal NOTAM System(FNS 1) Tower Operators and Airports System and Web Interfaces Digital NOTAM Entry US NOTAM System Database of Record NOTAM Query and NOTAM Summary Legacy Users Digital Consumers

  9. Demonstrations Airport NOTAM Display NOTAM Web Entry System to System

  10. Digital NOTAM Capture Demo

  11. System to System NOTAM Entry “Lights Out” Entry Sample Airport Entry • “Lights out” NOTAM Capture (42% of all NOTAMs, 75% of D NOTAMs) • NavAid Capture • Procedures Capture • Airports Capture • Electronic System Interface Capture for large airports (SWIM compliant web services) • Web Capture as backup and other airports

  12. Field Summary Demonotams.aim.faa.gov

  13. Summary of Demonstration • NOTAM Entry • Web page and system interface • Airport operators – Runway NOTAMS and SNOW NOTAMs • Tower operators – Tower lights out NOTAMs • 2008/2009 demonstration • For test access please email donaldsmith@cssiinc.com • NOTAM Query and Summary pages • Web pages for distribution • Demonstrations available at http://notams.aim.faa.gov
