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)
Federal Aviation

FNS Web Application: NSATC
Distribute NOTAMs to Terminal ATC Facilities
•
•
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
