“Hello Agorians!Can one explain, how the ARC part of this restricted area should be built […]”
“... there's an ambiguity: must I draw it convex (I think so!) or concave?”
“Draw a circle with 75Km radius, on appropriate transparent paper and same scale as chart used. Fit the circle on the chart in such a way as both points B and C (previously plotted on the chart) become part of the circle.The geodesic (WGS84) distance between B and C is 94497,25m, this geodesic being a chord of the circle.”
“I think the times are over where we have to construct restricted areas geometrically on transparent paper, but being able to put it into some piece of software. So I think it is absolutely not practical to define an area like that […] you can interpret this in two different ways. This definition definitely misses the centre of the arc.”
The problem - lost capacity
“In such cases I would draw a huge circle around all points. If nobody can say for sure how this area is built, why should the guys firing the rockets be able to tell”…
The solutionDigital Aeronautical Information
Digital NOTAM (xNOTAM)
The solution
Current NOTAM
“A notice distributed by means of telecommunication containing information concerning the establishment, condition or change in any aeronautical facility, service, procedure or hazard, the timely knowledge of which is
essential to personnel concerned with flight operations.”
Digital NOTAM
“A data set made available through digital services containing information concerning the establishment, condition or change in any aeronautical facility, service, procedure or hazard, the timely knowledge of which is essential to systems and automated equipment used by personnel
concerned with flight operations.”

• SESAR: The ATM Deployment Sequence
[IS-0204] xNOTAM
Implementation Plans
• Technical and operational validation (2008 – 2009)
– EUROCONTROL xNOTAM Trial
– FAA Digital NOTAM Submission Project
– etc.
• AIXM 5.1
– Incorporate all corrections/enhancements identified during validation phase
– To be published by mid 2009
– To be used for operational implementations
EUROCONTROL xNOTAM Trial
• To demonstrate the maturity of the “digital NOTAM” concept– based on AIXM version 5
• Objectives:– Validate AIXM 5
• encoding the information contained in NOTAM messages• temporality concept
– Provide a proof of concept for a “digital NOTAM encoding application”
• demonstrate to NOTAM operators• not intended for operational use or for production
– test bed for human-machine interface ideas– Provide a significant amount of test xNOTAM data
• to system developers
