  1. Digital NOTAMs – A new paradigm

  2. Discussion Points • NOTAMs – what are they? • Recommendations from the AIM Global Congress • Components of a digital NOTAM • Digital NOTAM strategy • Introducing the AIXM digital NOTAM trials

  3. What is a NOTAM? • 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”

  4. What is a NOTAM? • Example A0667/07 NOTAMN Q) MMFR/QMRLC/IV/NBO/A/000/999/1926N09904W A) MMMX B) 0702141700 C) 0702141800 E) RWY 05L/23R CLSD New NOTAM A0667 issued in 2007 Issued by the MMFR Flight Information Region Concerning Runway Closure Affecting IFR and VFR flights For immediate attention affecting flight operations Information should be included in pilot briefing For FL 000 to FL 999 near 19 26N, 99 04W For MMMX Airport Between 17:00 and 18:00 UTC on February 14, 2007 Runway 05L/23R is closed

  5. But what is a NOTAM really? • Legal authoritative document • Encoding of a system change • Change Location • Time period • Facility change • “Human-readable” output for customer 1 A0667/07 NOTAMN Q) MMFR/ QMRLC/ IV/ NBO/ A/ 000/ 999/ 1926N09904W A) MMMX B) 0702141700 C) 0702141800 E) RWY 05L/23R CLSD 2 3 A digital NOTAM concept must consider these characteristics

  6. 2006 Global AIS CongressThe NOTAM problem • Presentation given to AIS Congress • By Capt. Ed Lyons • VP Safety & Airworthiness Air Operations for Federal Express • Madrid Attendance • Over 500 attendees • Over 80 Countries • High Level Representation • FAA ATO VP of System Operations • EUROCONTROL Director General • ICAO Director of Air Navigation Message: “US NOTAM system is broken” Request: NOTAM (AI) data directly to the cockpit

  7. What pilots wantDirect to the cockpit x x x x x x x x x x From Ed Lyons (FedEx) Presentation at 2006 AIS Congress

  8. Today’s NOTAM system cannot meet future needs • NOTAMs are text-based and manual • Difficult to read and understand • Inconsistent application of standard terminology • Misapplied – never expires/never canceled; issued late • Computer readable NOTAMs demand new approach • Electronic flight bag • Integrated electronic pilot briefings • Analytical capabilities, simulations and flight planning

  9. Create the NOTAM at the source To ensure data integrity, traceability Encode digitally Integrated into global AIM Permanent and dynamic XML encoding Distribution to customers Digital NOTAM Concept DATALINK AIM EVENTNOTAM trigger (e.g., Runway damage) AUTHORAirport Authority PUBLISH Web Service,Product Specs GLOBAL AIM NET Aeronautical Information Transactions • Achieving these characteristics requires • Policy and SARP Changes • Digital description of NOTAMs (AIXM) • Concept of operations for global distribution

  10. Strategy for digital NOTAMsFoundations Information Model AIXM 5 “Digital NOTAM ready” Proof of Concepts Digital NOTAM Trials EUROCONTROL, FAA Industry Requirements RTCA/EUROCAE SC206 – Concept of Operations Policy AIS Operating Procedures ICAO Annex 15 US NOTAM Manual

  11. RTCA SC-206/EUROCAE WG-76AIS Data Link • Identify air and ground AIS (Aeronautical Information Services) data link requirements • For all airspace domains and ground operations • For all airspace users • Generate standards for “tactical use” of aeronautical information products • Examples: Graphical depiction of • Temporary flight restrictions • Other Special Use Airspace • Charting NOTAMs • Airport surface NOTAMs • Address synchronization for up-to-date displays

  12. Strategy for digital NOTAMsTimetable and Activities • AIM Global Congress and AIM Strategy workshops • June 2006 - EUROCONTROL • 2006-2011 Trials, Feasibility and Policy • University of Darmstadt feasibility trials • EUROCONTROL digital NOTAM (called xNOTAM) • FAA digital Airport Surface NOTAM • Industry standards for data link

  13. Report on Digital NOTAM trials • Report on • Early EUROCONTROL trials with University of Darmstadt • AIXM-AMDB • Terminal Procedures • EUROCONTROL xNOTAM project • FAA Digital Airport Surface NOTAMs • Consider, Discuss, Question…
