Section 3. Coding and Transmission of NOTAMs

4-3-1. PREPARATION FOR TRANSMISSION

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

4-3-2. AUTOMATIC DATA PROCESSING (ADP) CODES

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

4-3-3. NOTAM TRANSMISSION

a. The following examples illustrate the proper coding of NOTAM data for transmission by stations entering their own NOTAM data in the system.

EXAMPLE-
AISR Format:
GG KDZZNAXX
131345 KPIRYFYX
!PIR PIR NAV VOR OUT OF SERVICE
1306151200­1311302359

b. The following example illustrates the proper coding of NOTAM data for transmission by a station entering NOTAM data into the system for a tie­in location.

EXAMPLE-
AISR Format:
GG KDZZNAXX
131345 KPIRYFYX
!EKN W22 AD AIRPORT CLSD
1307040000­1307061200

c. When two or more new NOTAMs or cancellations, or combinations of new NOTAMs and cancellations are transmitted in the same message, they must be separated by the ADP code and a new line.

EXAMPLE-
AISR Format:
GG KDZZNAXX
131500 KABQYFYX
!ABQ C04/003
!ABQ ABQ RWY 8/26 CLSD 1307040000­1307061200
!ABQ C02/057

NOTE-
No confirmation will be received on cancellations.

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

If the text of a NOTAM is expected to exceed 20 lines, you must 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 sent to WMSCR for distribution.

EXAMPLE-
(Confirmation)

GG KDENYFYX
131346 KDZZNAXX
!DEN 04/003 DEN NAV VOR OUT OF SERVICE
1307040000­1307061200

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

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 must be retrieved via National Airspace Data Interchange Network (NADIN) using the following formats:

a. When the location identifier and number are known:
AISR Format:
GG KDZZNAXX
041503 KTUSYFYX
)SVC RQ DOM LOC=CID NT=02/020

b.  When the accountability identifier and number are known:
AISR Format:
GG KDZZNAXX
051612 KYNGYFYX
)SVC RQ DOM ACC=FOD NT=03/040

c.  To request all NOTAMs for a given location:
AISR Format:
GG KDZZNAXX
061832 KBZNYFYX
)SVC RQ DOM LOC=DSM

d.  To request all NOTAMs for a given accountability:
AISR Format:
