FAA is updating the U.S. NOTAM System
January 25, 2008
The FAA is updating the U.S. NOTAM System (USNS) from 0000 EST to approximately 0300 EST on Monday, January 28, 2008, to implement the new definition for Distant NOTAMs. No new NOTAMs will be available during the system upgrade; however, queries will remain active for NOTAMs issued prior to the outage. Upon completion of the system upgrade, all new Distant NOTAMs entering the USNS will include a keyword at the beginning of the NOTAM text. Over the next 120-days, legacy civil Local NOTAMs will transition to the new Distant NOTAM format. During this transition period, some Local NOTAMs will only be available from Flight Service. Users should continue to check with Flight Service during this time. This is an historical change that could only have been possible by the continued support and encouragement of our stakeholders and partners.
