  1. NOTAM are safety critical Source: HindSight - Aviation Safety Magazine for Air Traffic Controllers - Skybrary

  2. PIB NOTAM numbers Source: European AIS Database (EAD)

  3. NOTAM also have quality problems … irrelevant information … obstacles with imprecise positions … runway shortenings when the NOTAM simply gives a new TORA and does not really say WHERE the runway have been shorter (in what end) 10% of the NOTAM have errors according to a study done by the EAD on randomly selected messages! … complex restricted area boundaries that take hours to put on a map! … very long and complex to read!!! … typing errors

  4. “Last line of defense” for safety Typically have less time to review NOTAMs than other customers NOTAM data not filtered or prioritized Digitize NOTAM data Pilot’s Perspective

  5. What is a “digital NOTAM” • Instead of <text>TAXIWAYS OUTER 7 AND E6 CLSD</text> • Use explicit feature properties • For example… <taxiway> <name>OUTER 7</name> <status>CLOSED</status> </taxiway> <taxiway> <name>E6</name> <status>CLOSED</status> </taxiway>

  6. Benefits – improved data quality • Digital data: • clearer / more precise than free text • enables validation • automatic by the system • visually by the operator

  7. Benefits – improved PIB Positive impact on safety

  8. Benefits – airspace activity maps for VFR http://shgc.org.uk/php/notams.php

  12. Digital NOTAM Event Specification • Incremental approach • Version 1.0 • Published June 2011 • Reviewed / tested by industry in prototypes • Version 1.1 – in preparation • Modifications based on feed-back from industry • Include “missing” events (surface contamination, TWY closure) • Include additional events • Working version available on line (see link in the document)

  13. Version 1.1 (tentative)

  14. First implementations • SESAR P.13.2.2 • Thales prototype – Airport closure • Frequentis prototype – New obstacle • Other implementations by industry • IDS (cooperation with ENAV) prototype – All increment 1 • Comsoft prototype – Runway closure, etc. • Eurocontrol • DiNO prototype – airspace warnings / reservations • FAA • Digital NOTAM submission – operational system • System deployed at more than 100 airportsalready

  15. FAA Digital NOTAM implementation

  16. Digital SNOWTAM Trial 2009-2012

  17. AIXM 5.1 data WFS Trial – Application architecture • Users can access the data : • through REST interface • through WFS

  18. Electronic Input Forms - Digital NOTAM

  19. Electronic Input Forms - Digital NOTAM

  20. Digital NOTAM in EAD (project) • New Digital NOTAM Application (DNA) • Progressive development • Airspace • Obstacle • … Increment 1 • … Increment 2 • … • Pre-operational phase • NOTAM data providers may use DNA (via ECIT) • Support post-digitisation of NOTAM
