Section
4. Canceling/Extending NOTAMs
4-4-1. EXTENDING NOTAM
DURATION
a. When
there is a need to extend an existing NOTAM time duration, cancel the
original NOTAM, and reissue the data as a new NOTAM with the new time.
4-4-2. CANCELLATION OF
NOTAMs
a. To
cancel a NOTAM, use the same NOTAM/serial number assigned to the original
NOTAM by the USNS computer, preceded by the letter “C.” If the serial number
of a NOTAM cancellation is invalid (number not in a master file), no action
is taken within the NOTAM system. A cancellation must receive the same
dissemination as the NOTAM it cancels. Do not carry the NOTAM text in the
cancellation.
EXAMPLE-
!ABC C05/005
b. Stations
canceling NOTAMs must check the NOTAM data to ensure the NOTAM's deletion.
Retransmit cancellations not acted upon.
c. Cancel
NOTAMs containing erroneous information, and reissue. Originate a new NOTAM
when data is received amending a current NOTAM, and cancel the previous
NOTAM.
4-4-3. CANCELING
PUBLISHED NOTAM DATA
a. When
data appearing in a NOTAM is printed correctly in a publication or on a
chart, cancel the NOTAM. The cancellation must be formatted in the following
manner:
EXAMPLE-
!ABC C05/005 PUBLISHED
Or
!DEF C06/006 CHARTED
NOTE-
A cancellation which is transmitted without an explanation means the NOTAM
is canceled; for example, !GHI C07/007
b. NOTAMs
must remain current until the data is published in one or more of the
following, with the exception of NAVAID NOTAMs, which must remain in effect
until the NAVAID is returned to service or decommissioned:
1. Airport/Facility
directory.
2. En
route low altitude charts.
3. En
route high altitude charts.
4. Terminal
procedures publications.
NOTE-
FDC NOTAMs relating to instrument approach and obstacle departure procedures
and airways must remain current until published in the Terminal Procedures
Publication or applicable en route chart.
5. Supplements
(Alaska and Pacific).
6. Charts
(VFR):
(a) Sectional
charts.
(b) World
aeronautical charts.
(c) Terminal
area charts.
NOTE-
The
Notice to Airmen Publication (NTAP) conveys NOTAMs to the public until
printed correctly on publications listed in subparagraph b above. The NTAP
does not cancel NOTAMs but may supplement briefings. The NTAP must not be
used as a basis to cancel NOTAMs.
c. NOTAMs
concerning Army airfield operations, in addition to the above listed
sources, must be researched in the Army Aviation Flight Information
Bulletin, if applicable.
