TALKING POINTS • Pilot’s Bill of Rights • The NOTAM Problem • Federal NOTAM System (FNS) Overview & Accomplishments to Date: • AIM Modernization Segment 1 ~ In-Service Decision 03.27.13 • Impact to the National Airspace System (NAS) • Capabilities in Development • FAA Notional Way Forward FNS Digital NOTAMS -- The Level Setting to Pilot’s Bill of Rights
The Federal NOTAM System (FNS) Pilot’s Bill of Rights
Pilot’s Bill of Rights Section 1 • Instructions to call this the “Pilot’s Bill of Rights” Section 2 • Deals with Legal aspects of approval, denial, amendment, modification, suspension, or revocation of an individual’s certificate • Framework for providing notice to the person subject to investigation Section 3 (In detail on following slide) • Section dealing with NOTAMs ~ the FAA Air Traffic Organization (ATO) body of work • Title 14 CFR Section 91.103 lays the framework for operators Section 4 • Deals primarily with Medical Certificates for airmen
Pilot’s Bill of Rights – Notices To Airmen Section 3 – Notices To Airmen (NOTAM) • NOTAM Improvement Program (NIP) • RELEVANT to ROUTE of FLIGHT:“Improve the system providing airmen pertinent and timely information” • SEARCHABLE: “NOTAM Archive – public, central location” • FILTERABLE: “Filters for pilots to prioritize critical flight safety info” • Program Goals • Decrease overwhelming volume of NOTAMs for flight planning • Make NOTAMs specific / relevant to route and in a user friendly format • Provide full set of NOTAM results in addition to specific info requested • Provide a document that is easily searchable • Provide filtering mechanism similar to that used by DoD • Timeframes • Begin NOTAM Improvement Program within 180 days of legislation • Phase in improvements within 1 year
The Federal NOTAM System (FNS) The NOTAM Problem
Why are we here? For every flight, pilots sort through pages of NOTAMs, all in effort to find the essential notices that are relevant to their flight.

The Federal NOTAM System (FNS) FNS Overview & Accomplishments to Date
FNS Concept of Operations (CONOPS) Distribution Collection Management Web Web DATALINK Web- service Web- service • Distribute NOTAMs to the Users • Digitally Direct to FAA customers • Online or System-to-System • Originate NOTAMs at the Source • Digitally capture temporary hazard information • Online or System-to-System Standardize & Harmonize - Apply Business Rules - Validate/Standardize Data - Translate/Transform - Publish/Archive
FNS - NOTAM Origination 101 NOTAM Manager - Digital NOTAMs - Direct NOTAM Submission Collection • Management • Distribution Web • Web • DATALINK eNOTAM II - Analog NOTAMS - Flight Service Approval Web- service • Web- service Originate NOTAMs at the Source - Digitally Capture Temporary Hazard Information • Integrate Permanent and Temporary Information • Apply Business Rules, Validate Data, Translate, and Publish • Distribute NOTAMs to the Users • Electronic Distribution to FAA customers, Computer Readable NOTAM Origination Service - Digital NOTAMs - Direct System-to-System interface Legacy Origination = 15 min. average | Digital Origination = 5 seconds
AIM Modernization Segment 1 60% SO WHAT?! So, that means that 60% of NOTAMS are now: Sortable & Filterable via tailorable criteria • Deputy Chief Operating Officer signed In-Service Decision (ISD) 03/27/13 • Now base-lined in the NAS • Direct digital NOTAM entry capability delivered to • 100+ airports in the NAS & 3 Tower Light Operators • 3 FAA Technical Operations Control Centers (OCCs) • FAA Flight Services (FS) now originating NOTAMs via FNS • FNS transformation engine IDs qualified FS analog, legacy NOTAMs & stores them digitally for dissemination • Enabled 60% of all NOTAMs originated to be truly digital
FNS Right Now – Impact to NAS NM FY14 GOAL = 250 AIRPORTS AIM Modernization Segment 1- March 27, 2013 Origination Services: NOTAM Manager; eNOTAM II; NOTAM Origination Service Distribution Services: NOTAM Search; NOTAM Distribution Service (Beta) Management Services: FNS Administrator; Transformation Engine; NM Airport Self-Certification; FNS Dashboard System Deployments & Active Users – as of 8/8/2013 NOTAM Manager (NM): 149 Airports – 1,600+ users NOTAM Manager -Tech Ops: FAA Operations Control Centers – 200+ users eNOTAM II: Flight Services & non-NM airports – 600+ FSS users, 3,300+ submitters NOTAM Origination Services: 4 Tower Light Operators NOTAM Search: Publically available NM Self Cert: 15 Airports deployed; 30 pending Baseline Data Editor (BDE): Deployed May 23; rapidly reducing baseline data backlog
The Federal NOTAM System (FNS) Capabilities in Development
FNS - NOTAM Distribution 101 NOTAM Search - Graphical NOTAM Display - Contextual Information (links) Distribution Web NOTAM Search ATC - Search Preferences - Assured Delivery DATALINK Web- service FNS NOTAM Distribution Service - Direct System-to-System Interface - Enables Graphical Display Distribute NOTAMs to the Users - Electronically Direct to FAA customers - Computer Readable
NOTAM Search • Public NOTAM Search Site: https://notams.aim.faa.gov/notamSearch/ • Provides the ability to: • Search (location, accountability, geography, free text) • Sort (location, NOTAM #, class, date, NOTAM condition, advanced) • Find / Filter (NOTAM #, condition) • View NOTAM Details (domestic, ICAO, plain language) • Export (in excel format) • Links to additional airport information (National Flight Data Center, NFDC, diagrams, Terminal Procedures, construction notices)
NOTAM Distribution Service: FNS-NDS • Data feed that uses Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) standards • Graphical representation web-service • Standards: AIXM 5.1 format • ALL or Some: Provides the user with the ability to query and select types of data • External Market: Enables third party application development • Standards support the information management necessary for fusing data FNS
NOTAM Search Air Traffic Control (NSATC) Distribute NOTAMs to Terminal ATC Facilities • Prototype web application for NOTAM Distribution to Terminal ATC Facilities • System assures delivery of NOTAM • Notification Alarm (ATC Notifier) • Audibly and visually alerts user of new NOTAMs • NOTAMs must meet user- defined criteria • Brings attention to unopened new NOTAMs and NOTAMs that will become effective in < 4 hours • NOTAMs can be filtered based on preferences FNS
The Federal NOTAM System (FNS) FAA Notional Way Forward & TOC Feedback
Scoping the “RELEVANCE” Piece • FNS NM enables digital NOTAM originators to sort & filter: • Airport Originators: • Aerodrome, Runway, Apron, Taxiway, & Obstructions • Technical Operations Originators: • Aerodrome, Runway, Communications, Lighted Aids, Navaids, Radar, Weather • These categories define what originators consider relevant • Challenge exists in knowing what commercial, military, General Aviation (GA), & other pilots ALL consider relevant…from a receiving view point. • We can distribute NOTAMS with various categorical keywords: Dates, Geography, International, Military, & Procedures…..but we need to know what pilots’ prioritized list is: • What format benefits you (pilots) most? PBoR NIP Panel key to helping identify relevance RELEVANCE – It’s not a technical gap…It’s a scoping issue
