A NOTAM contains:
-
any important information that could affect the safe flight of
an aircraft, or
- information
that is required by the pilot to conduct safe operations.
A NOTAM is issued when:
- there
is insufficient time to publish information in the AIPNZ, or
-
changes are of short duration.
A NOTAM can be requested by completing
a NOTAM Request Form (see Submission
Forms) or requesting via the Airways IFIS website at www.ifis.airways.co.nz.
Before a flight, pilots should request
a printout of any NOTAM that are relevant to the route, alternate
and destinations for the flight.
A NOTAM can only be issued for a maximum
of 90 days. A NOTAM can not include graphics. If graphics
are required an AIP supplement will be needed and this takes longer
to organise. See SUBMISSION CUT OFF DATES on the menu bar for more.
If the change or condition is to last more than 90 days, an amendment
to the AIPNZ will also be required. See the section on The Submission
Process under Submission Guidelines for more on requesting changes
to the AIP.
