Read the first 7 NOTAM Processing & Distribution flashcards as text

  1. A pilot reports receiving conflicting information from two separate NOTAMs for the same runway. What is the correct FSS action?

    Answer: Investigate the discrepancy, contact the originating authority, and issue a clarifying NOTAM

    When conflicting NOTAMs are identified, the FSS specialist must investigate, contact the responsible authority, and coordinate issuance of a clarifying or corrected NOTAM.

  2. What is the purpose of the 'E' field in an ICAO NOTAM format?

    Answer: To provide the plain-language text description of the NOTAM subject

    The 'E' field in ICAO NOTAM format contains the full plain-language text describing the subject and nature of the NOTAM.

  3. Which type of NOTAM would be issued to correct an error in a published instrument approach chart?

    Answer: FDC NOTAM

    FDC (Flight Data Center) NOTAMs are issued to correct regulatory or procedural data, including errors in published approach charts and procedures.

  4. Under FAA procedures, who has the authority to originate a NOTAM for a privately owned public-use airport?

    Answer: The airport manager or owner, coordinated through the FSS

    The airport manager or owner has authority to originate NOTAMs for their facility, coordinating through the Flight Service Station for entry into the system.

  5. What NOTAM keyword is used when a taxiway is temporarily closed?

    Answer: TWY

    The keyword TWY (taxiway) is used in NOTAMs that describe conditions affecting taxiways, including closures.

  6. When must a NOTAM be classified as a Class I NOTAM rather than Class II?

    Answer: When it requires immediate action or is safety-critical and time-sensitive

    Class I NOTAMs are safety-critical, time-sensitive items requiring immediate dissemination, as opposed to Class II NOTAMs which cover less urgent information.

  7. A NOTAM that describes unlit construction equipment on a taxiway from 0600–1800 local daily would use which time format in its D field?

    Answer: UTC (Zulu) time

    All NOTAM times, including activity schedules in the D field, must be expressed in UTC (Coordinated Universal Time/Zulu) per FAA and ICAO standards.
