FNS Concept of Operations

Originate NOTAMs at the Source

-Digitally capture temporary hazard information

-Online or System-to-System

Standardize & Harmonize

- Apply Business Rules

- Validate/Standardize Data

- Translate/Transform

- Publish/Archive

Distribute NOTAMs to the Users

-Digitally Direct to FAA customers

Web

Distribute NOTAMs to the Users

- Electronically Direct to FAA customers

- Computer Readable

NOTAM Search (NM Search)

2 - Web Apps

1 - Data Services


FNS Web Application: NM 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)– Link to additional airport information (National Flight Data Center, NFDC

diagrams, Terminal Procedures, construction notices)


FNS Web Application: NSATC

11

• System assures delivery of NOTAM• Notification Alarm (ATC Notifier)

– Audibly and visually alerts– NOTAMs must meet user-defined criteria– Alerts 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

FNS


FNS Web Applications

12

NOTAM SearchNOTAM Search ATC

Who: End users, operations teams, pilots, analysts, air traffic control supervisors, etc.

What: Web page which provides interactive features with a graphical user interface.

Where: On your computer in a web browser (Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome, Safari, etc.)

When: You want immediate information using the available functionality of the web application.

Why: To view information available from the web application. Example: to view NOTAMs matching your search criteria.

How: Enter URL into your web browser and enter your query criteria.


FNS Web Data Service: FNS-NDS

13

• Data feed that uses OGC Web Feature Services (WFS)

– Graphical representation web-service

• Standards: AIXM 5.1 format

• ALL or Some: Query and select types of data

• External Market: Enables 3rd party app development

• Standards: Include info needed for fusing data

FNS


FNS Web Data Service

14

NOTAM Distribution Service

Who: Web developers, computer programmers, data modelers, etc.

What: Web code that computers can read and interpret for use in exchanging information in a computer application.

Where: In the backend coding environment used by developers.

When: You want to create a custom application that uses the data available through the web service.

Why: To code an application that displays NOTAM information, including geometries. Example: to develop a smartphone/tablet application.

How: Hire a developer to create an application that meets your business requirements.
