Section 1. Introduction
This order prescribes direction used to format and distribute information regarding unanticipated or temporary changes to services, components of, or hazards in, the National Airspace System (NAS). The NOTAM System does not advertise published or charted data and information. Originators of aeronautical information are expected to inform the Aeronautical Data Team in sufficient time before the effective dates of changes to permit publishing of aeronautical data on the various charts or in the appropriate publications. When time does not allow for publication of a change or an outage and if the subject matter meets NOTAM criteria, issue a NOTAM until published.
Audience for this order is any office responsible for originating NOTAMs and those who use aeronautical information.
This order is available on the FAA's Air Traffic Plans and Publications website at http://faa.gov/air_traffic/publications and Orders & Notices website at
