4-3-1. PREPARATION FOR TRANSMISSION

In order to assure that NOTAMs are processed and distributed properly, data for transmission must be coded as prescribed in this order.

The ADP equipment is programmed to accept and begin processing a NOTAM upon receipt of the ADP code.

c. When two or more new NOTAMs or cancellations, or a combination of new NOTAMs and cancellations are transmitted in a series, they shall be separated by the ADP code and a new line.

AISR FORMAT:

GG KDZZNAXX

!ABQ C04/003
!ABQ ABQ RWY 8/26 CLSD
!ABQ C02/057

4-3-4. TRANSMISSION OF NOTAMs EXCEEDING 20 LINES

If the text of a NOTAM is expected to exceed 20 lines, you shall call the USNOF (1-888-876-6826) for assistance in composition and guidance.

4-3-5. CONFIRMING ACCEPTANCE BY THE NOTAM SYSTEM

a. When a new NOTAM is accepted into the NOTAM file, a copy of the NOTAM with the NOTAM number will be returned back to the originating facility and also sent to WMSCR for distribution.

b. If the NOTAM is rejected, a USNS-generated service message will be relayed back to the facility of origin indicating the reason for rejection as shown in para 4-5-2.

4-3-6. TRANSMISSION BY ANOTHER FACILITY

When unable to transmit a NOTAM directly into the system due to equipment failure or other situation, relay the information to another facility and request that the data be transmitted into the system.

4-3-7. RETRIEVING DOMESTIC NOTAMs

Domestic NOTAMs shall be retrieved via NADIN using the following formats:

a. When the location identifier and number are known:
