The Federal NOTAM System (FNS) FNS Overview & Accomplishments to Date Federal Aviation Administration 11

FNS Concept of Operations (CONOPS) Collection Distribution Management Web Webservice Originate NOTAMs at the Source - Digitally capture temporary hazard information - Online or System-to-System INK DATAL Webservice Distribute NOTAMs to the Users Standardize & Harmonize - Apply Business Rules - - Validate/Standardize Data - Translate/Transform - Digitally Direct to FAA customers Online or System-to-System - Publish/Archive Federal Aviation Administration 12

FNS - NOTAM Origination 101 NOTAM Manager Collection • Management Digital NOTAMs • Distribution - Direct NOTAM Submission Web • Web ALINK Webservice Originate NOTAMs at the Source - Digitally Capture Temporary Hazard Information • D T e. NOTAMAII • Web- Analog NOTAMS service - Flight Service Approval • Integrate Permanent and • Distribute NOTAMs to Temporary Information Origination Service the Users NOTAM • Apply Business Rules, • Electronic Distribution to - Digital NOTAMs Validate Data, FAA customers, - Direct Translate, and Publish System-to-System interface Computer Readable Legacy Origination = 15 min. average | Digital Origination = 5 seconds Federal Aviation Administration 13

AIM Modernization Segment 1 • 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 60% SO WHAT? ! So, that means that 60% of NOTAMS are now: Sortable & Filterable via tailorable criteria Federal Aviation Administration 14

FNS Right Now – Impact to NAS AIM Modernization Segment 1 - March 27, 2013 ü Origination Services: NOTAM Manager; e. NOTAM II; NOTAM Origination Service ü Distribution Services: NOTAM Search; NOTAM Distribution Service (Beta) ü Management Services: FNS Administrator; Transformation Engine; NM Airport Self-Certification; FNS Dashboard System Deployments & Active Users – as of 8/8/2013 ü ü ü ü NM FY 14 GOAL = 250 AIRPORTS NOTAM Manager (NM): 149 Airports – 1, 600+ users NOTAM Manager -Tech Ops: FAA Operations Control Centers – 200+ users e. NOTAM 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 Federal Aviation Administration 15

Digital NOTAM Volume Status Federal Aviation Administration 16

The Federal NOTAM System (FNS) Capabilities in Development Federal Aviation Administration 17

FNS - NOTAM Distribution 101 NOTAM Search Distribution - Graphical NOTAM Display - Contextual Information (links) Web NOTAM Search ATC - Search Preferences - Assured Delivery INK DATAL Webservice FNS NOTAM Distribution Service - Direct System-to-System Interface - Enables Graphical Display Distribute NOTAMs to the Users - Electronically Direct to FAA customers - Computer Readable Federal Aviation Administration 18

NOTAM Search • Public NOTAM Search Site: https: //notams. aim. faa. gov/notam. Search/ • 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) Federal Aviation Administration 19

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 Federal Aviation Administration 20

NOTAM Search Air Traffic Control (NSATC) Distribute NOTAMs to Terminal ATC Facilities • FNS • • 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 Federal Aviation Administration 21

The Federal NOTAM System (FNS) FAA Notional Way Forward & TOC Feedback Federal Aviation Administration 22

FAA Notional ~ Bridge to Pilot’s Bill of Rights FAA Enhancements Meet Pilot’s Bill of Rights Distribution Services NOTAM Search (Pilot Portal) Pilot Filters to “prioritize flight safety information” NOTAM Distribution Service Digital NOTAMs Direct to Consumer Management System NOTAM Archiving “Public Central Archive” Origination Services All Stakeholder Deployment “Providing airmen with pertinent and timely information” International Standards “Document easily searchable” System Integration Pilot Portal (Websites Consolidation) “Full set of NOTAM results” AISR, CARF, SAA, TFR Integration “NOTAMs more specific and relevant to airman’s route” USNS Replacement “timely information” Aeronautical Information Reconciliation Information Quality – accurate, timely, reliable – ‘Fit for Use’ “Decrease overwhelming volume of NOTAMs” Federal Aviation Administration 23

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: PBo. R NIP Panel key to • What format benefits you (pilots) most? helping identify relevance RELEVANCE – It’s not a technical gap…It’s a scoping issue Federal Aviation Administration 24

Thank you Federal Aviation Administration 25
