FNS Digital NOTAMS -- The Level Setting to Pilot’s Bill of Rights


The Federal NOTAM System (FNS)

Pilot’s Bill of Rights

3


Pilot’s Bill of RightsSection 1•Instructions to call this the “Pilot’s Bill of Rights”

Section 2•Deals with Legal aspects of approval, denial, amendment, modification, suspension, or revocation of an individual’s certificate

•Framework for providing notice to the person subject to investigation

Section 3 (In detail on following slide) •Section dealing with NOTAMs ~ the FAA Air Traffic Organization (ATO) body of work

•Title 14 CFR Section 91.103 lays the framework for operators

Section 4•Deals primarily with Medical Certificates for airmen

4


Pilot’s Bill of Rights – Notices To AirmenSection 3 – Notices To Airmen (NOTAM)•NOTAM Improvement Program (NIP)

– RELEVANT to ROUTE of FLIGHT: “Improve the system providing airmen pertinent and timely information”

– SEARCHABLE: “NOTAM Archive – public, central location”

– FILTERABLE: “Filters for pilots to prioritize critical flight safety info”

•Program Goals1) Decrease overwhelming volume of NOTAMs for flight planning

2) Make NOTAMs specific / relevant to route and in a user friendly format

3) Provide full set of NOTAM results in addition to specific info requested

4) Provide a document that is easily searchable

5) Provide filtering mechanism similar to that used by DoD

•Timeframes– Begin NOTAM Improvement Program within 180 days of legislation

– Phase in improvements within 1 year

13

Legacy Origination = 15 min. average | Digital Origination = 5 seconds


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

14

60% SO WHAT?!

So, that means that 60% of NOTAMS are now: Sortable & Filterable via tailorable criteria


AIM Modernization Segment 1- March 27, 2013Origination Services: NOTAM Manager; eNOTAM II; NOTAM Origination Service

Distribution Services: NOTAM Search; NOTAM Distribution Service (Beta)

Management Services: FNS Administrator; Transformation Engine; NM

Airport Self-Certification; FNS Dashboard

System Deployments & Active Users – as of 8/8/2013NOTAM Manager (NM): 149 Airports – 1,600+ users

NOTAM Manager -Tech Ops: FAA Operations Control Centers – 200+ users

eNOTAM 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

Distribution

DATALINK

Web

Distribute NOTAMs to the Users

- Electronically Direct to FAA customers

- Computer Readable

FNS NOTAM Distribution Service

- Direct System-to-System Interface

- Enables Graphical Display

NOTAM Search ATC

- Search Preferences

- Assured Delivery

NOTAM Search

- Graphical NOTAM Display

- Contextual Information (links)

18


NOTAM Search• Public NOTAM Search Site: https://notams.aim.faa.gov/notamSearch/

• 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)

19


NOTAM Distribution Service: FNS-NDS

20

• 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


NOTAM Search Air Traffic Control (NSATC)

21

• 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

Distribute NOTAMs to Terminal ATC Facilities

FAA Notional Way Forward & TOC Feedback

22


FAA Notional ~ Bridge to Pilot’s Bill of Rights

23

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”


Scoping the “RELEVANCE” Piece

24

• 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:

• What format benefits you (pilots) most?

RELEVANCE – It’s not a technical gap…It’s a scoping issue

PBoR NIP Panel key to

helping identify relevance
