Notices to Airmen Foreword
Submissions should be sent to AJV−8 well in advance of but no later than 28 days prior to the effective date
of the Notices to Airmen edition to ensure adequate lead time for inclusion in the publication.
Notices to Airmen (NOTAMS) submitted for inclusion in the NTAP are published no earlier than two
publication cycles (56 day periods) prior to the cycle in which the NOTAM becomes effective. Special
NOTAMS capture special events, like the Super Bowl, and are generally published in the NTAP for two
consecutive publication cycles. NOTAMS that are more permanent in nature are posted in the NTAP until
transferred to other appropriate Air Traffic Publications.
With the exception of dated special events, any notice submitted for inclusion must include the following
information at the end of the notice: submitting office and date of the revision (e.g., AJV−81, 2/2/2017). In
addition, all electronic mail submissions should specify a time frame in which to expect the removal of the
notice from the publication. Regional offices should notify AJV−8 when notices are no longer needed in the
publication.
Text files should be submitted as Word documents. Any graphics submitted for inclusion must be of high
quality and in camera ready form; FAX copies will not be accepted. Electronic mail submissions are required
and should be addressed to 9−ATOR−HQ−PubGrp@faa.gov. Graphics should be submitted in one of the
following formats: GIF, JPEG, TIFF, BMP, or PDF. Please do not submit graphics with a “.doc” file extension.
Each graphic must be submitted as a separate attachment. Graphic notices may be submitted in color or black
and white. Avoid using white text in any graphic. Copyrighted materials, such as maps, should not be
submitted for publication without written permission of the copyright owner.

INTERNATIONAL
NOTICES TO AIRMEN
Notices to Airmen International
GENERAL
This part features significant international notices to airmen (NOTAM) information and special notices.
The information contained in the International Notices to Airmen section is derived from international
notices and other official sources. International notices are of two types: Class One International Notices are
those NOTAMs issued via telecommunications. They are made available to the U.S. flying public by the
International NOTAM Office (Washington, DC) through the local Flight Service Station (FSS). Class Two
International Notices are NOTAMs issued via postal services and are not readily available to the U.S. flying
public. The International Notices to Airmen draws from both these sources and also includes information
about temporary hazardous conditions which are not otherwise readily available to the flyer. Before any
international flight, always update the International Notices to Airmen with a review of Class One
International Notices available at your closest FSS.
Foreign notices carried in this publication are carried as issued to the maximum extent possible. Most
abbreviations used in this publication are listed in ICAO Document DOC 8400. Wherever possible, the
source of the information is included at the end of an entry. This allows the user to confirm the currency of
the information with the originator.
International Information Source Code Table
Code Information Source
I or II (followed by the NOTAM number) Class One or Class Two NOTAMs
AIP Aeronautical Information Publication (followed by the AIP change
number)
AIC Aeronautical Information Circular (followed by the AIC number)
DOS Department of State advisories
FAA Federal Aviation Administration.
The International Notices to Airmen section gives world wide coverage in each issue. Coverage for the U.S.
and its external territories is limited and normally will not include data available on the domestic NOTAM
circuit or published in other official sources available to the user.
Each issue of this section is complete in itself. Temporary data will be repeated in each issue until the
condition ceases to exist. Permanent data will be carried until it is sufficiently published or is available in
other permanent sources. New items will be indicated by a black bar running in the left or right margin.
This section includes data issued by foreign governments. The publication of this data in no way constitutes
legal recognition of the validity of the data. This publication does not presume to tabulate all NOTAM data,
although every effort is made to publish all pertinent data. The Federal Aviation Administration does not
assume liability for failure to publish, or the accuracy of, any particular item.

INTERNATIONAL OCEANIC AIRSPACE NOTICES
INTRODUCTION
The following information contains the most current notices involving airspace matters pertaining to U.S.
internationally delegated airspace. The information provided is divided into two sections: General and
Region Specific.
GENERAL
2. Anchorage, New York and Oakland OCAs are “high seas” (international) airspace (for U.S. operators,
14 CFR § 91.703 refers). Therefore, all operations therein must comply with ICAO Annex 2 (Rules of the
Air), which requires that aircraft “maintain continuous air−ground voice communication watch on the
appropriate communication channel…” (Paragraph 3.6.5.1). This means that a long−range communication
system (LRCS) is required whenever operations will exceed the range of VHF voice communications
between aircraft and air traffic control. Additionally, regulations issued by the State of Registry/ State of the
Operator may stipulate how many LRCS are required. Examples of such regulations, for U.S. operators,
include 14 CFR §§ 91.511, 121.351, 125.203 and 135.165.
4. When first establishing communications with New York or San Francisco RADIO via SATVOICE, the
flight crew should request a “callback check.” Such a check will help ensure RADIO can contact the crew
during the period of SATVOICE use. The table below illustrates a sample callback check. Additionally, in
the event the operator has indicated capability for SATVOICE via both Iridium and Inmarsat (by listing codes
M1 and M3 in Item 10 of the ATC flight plan), the flight crew should inform the RADIO operator of the
service to use for communicating with the aircraft.

Note: Whenever a NAT OTS track infringes on a Tango route, data link equipage is required on that part of
the route infringed upon, for operations at FL 350 through FL 390, for the duration of the published OTS time.
b. Certain specific categories of aircraft are also exempt from the data link equipage requirement. Those
aircraft for which Item 18 of the ATC flight plan includes codes STS/FFR, HOSP, HUM, MEDEVAC SAR,
or STATE are exempt. However, depending on traffic loading, ATC may not be able to clear those
non−equipped flights on the requested route and/or flight level.
c. Pilots of non−equipped aircraft may request a continuous climb or descent, without intermediate level
off, through DLM airspace (i.e. FL 350 through FL 390). ATC will approve such requests as traffic allows.
d. Altitude reservation (ALTRV) requests will likewise be considered by ATC on a case by case basis.
3. Contingency Procedures. The following procedures should be followed by operators/pilots
experiencing data link equipment failure:
a. Failure prior to departure. Pilots/operators of aircraft with less than fully operational CPDLC
and/or ADS−C equipment should flight plan to remain clear of NAT region data link mandate airspace (i.e.
FL 350 through FL 390).
b. Failure after departure. ATC may clear aircraft with less than fully operational CPDLC and/or
ADS−C equipment to operate in NAT data link mandate airspace as traffic permits. Pilots of such aircraft must
notify ATC of their data link equipment status before entering NAT DLM airspace.
c. Failure after entering DLM airspace. Pilots must immediately notify ATC of a CPDLC or ADS−C
equipment failure while operating within data link mandate airspace. Depending on traffic, ATC may permit
the degraded aircraft to continue in DLM airspace, otherwise a climb or descent out of DLM flight levels may
be required.
4. U.S. Operator Authorization to Use FANS 1/A (or equivalent) Data Link Systems.
a. U.S. operators intending to fly in NAT DLM airspace are required to have been issued operational
authorization via Operations Specification, Management Specification or Letter of Authorization (as
appropriate) A056 Data Link Communications. Advisory Circular (AC) 90−117 Data Link Communications
provides guidance on operational use, aircraft eligibility, minimum performance and services of
communication service providers, performance monitoring, training requirements, and discrepancy
reporting related to the use of data link communication systems.
b. Operators may also find helpful the information posted in the “FAA NAT Resource Guide for U.S.
Operators,” under the Comm/Nav/Surveillance, Data Link Communications sections. Operators can find the
resource guide at the following address:

In accordance with Federal Aviation Regulations 91.511, 121.351, 125.203, and 135.165 (as applicable) an
approved Long-Range Navigation System (INS, IRS, GPS or Loran C) is required for operation on these
routes.
In addition, operators will not flight plan or operate on these routes unless their aircraft are equipped with
RNAV systems that are approved for IFR navigation and the pilots are qualified to operate them. Aircraft may
be considered eligible to operate on these routes if they fall under one of the following categories:
1. For new installations, the Airplane Flight Manual must show that the navigation system installation has
received airworthiness approval in accordance with one of the following FAA ACs:
2. Installations that have previously received airworthiness approval under the following ACs are eligible
for Gulf of Mexico Q-route operation provided it is shown in the Airplane Flight Manual:
1. Class I Navigation: operations on Q100, Q102 and Q105 will continue to be categorized as Class I
navigation, as defined in FAA Order 8900.1, Vol. 4, Chapter 1, Section 3, Class I Navigation.
2. Operations Specifications: operators are considered eligible to conduct operations on the Q-routes
provided that aircraft are equipped with the appropriate equipment in accordance with the “Operator
2−INTL−18 SECTION 2
Notices to Airmen International
Determination of RNAV Equipment Eligibility” paragraph above and operations are conducted in accordance
with paragraph 3, 4, 5 and 6 below. Title 14 CFR Parts 121, 125, 135 operators are authorized to operate on
the Q-routes when they are issued Operations Specifications (OpSpecs) paragraph B034 (Class I Navigation
Using Area Navigation Systems). In addition, OpSpecs B034 must be annotated in OpSpecs paragraph B050
(Enroute Authorizations, Limitations and Procedures), for the Gulf of Mexico High Offshore Airspace.
3. Pilots in command filing on RNAV routes are certifying that the crews and equipment are qualified to
conduct RNAV operations.
4. Pilots in command shall be responsible for navigating along route centerline (as defined by the aircraft
navigation system) in accordance with the requirements of Title 14 CFR 91, section 181 (course to be flown)
and ICAO Annex 2, paragraph 3.6.2.1.1. (Annex 2, paragraph 3.6.2.1 states that flights shall ”in so far as
practical, when on an established ATS route, operate on the defined centerline of that route.”)
5. Pilots in command shall notify the Air Route Traffic Control Center (ARTCC) of any loss of navigation
capability that affects the aircraft’s ability to navigate within the lateral limits of the route.
6. INS or IRS LIMITATION. For the purposes of operating on the following RNAV routes, Q100, Q102,
and Q105, aircraft equipped with Inertial Navigation Systems (INS) or Inertial Reference Systems (IRS) that
cannot receive automatic position updates (e.g., DME/DME update) for the entire length of the route, are
limited to 1.5 consecutive hours of un-updated operation. In preparation for take-off, this time starts at the
time that the INS or IRS is placed in the navigation mode. En route, the maximum time allowed between
automatic position updates is 1.5 hours. Systems that perform updating after the pilot has manually selected
the navigation aid are considered to have ”automatic update” capability.
7. Radar monitoring will normally be provided. In the event of loss of radar, aircraft will be advised. ATC
will ensure that the appropriate nonradar separation is applied during these time periods.

ASEPS minima, using ADS−B as the advanced surveillance, beginning no earlier than March 28, 2019. To
support this trial, and maintain regional procedural harmony, all of the NAT ANSPs are planning to
implement the proposed contingency procedures at the time the trial starts. The trial is intended to last until
November 2020 when the new ASEPS minima are published in ICAO Doc 4444. At that time, the use of trial
minima will transition to actual usage by those ANSPs who wish to do so.
c. The procedures contained herein are to be used in place of the procedures contained in the U.S.
Aeronautical Information Publication (AIP), ENR 7.3, paragraphs 1, 2, and 4 for operations within the
entirety of the New York Center oceanic CTA/FIR. The contingency procedures contained in the U.S. AIP,
ENR 7.3, paragraphs 1, 2, and 4 remain applicable to operations within the Anchorage and Oakland Air Route
Traffic Control Centers.
d. Although all possible contingencies cannot be covered, the procedures in paragraphs 2, 3, and 4
provide for the more frequent cases, such as:
(1) inability to comply with assigned clearance due to meteorological conditions (see paragraph 4);
(2) enroute diversion across the prevailing traffic flow (for example, due to medical emergencies (see
paragraphs 2 and 3); and
(3) loss of, or significant reduction in, the required navigation capability when operating in an airspace
where the navigation performance accuracy is a prerequisite to the safe conduct of flight operations, or
pressurization failure (see paragraphs 2 and 3).
NOTE−
Guidance on procedures to follow when an aircraft experiences a degradation in navigation capabilities can be
found in ICAO Doc 4444, Procedures for Air Navigation Services – Air Traffic Management, chapter 5, section
5.2.2.
e. The pilot shall take action as necessary to ensure the safety of the aircraft, and the pilot’s judgement
shall determine the sequence of actions to be taken, having regard to the prevailing circumstances. Air traffic
control shall render all possible assistance.
2. General Procedures
NOTE−
Figure 1 provides an aid for understanding and applying the contingency procedures contained in paragraphs 2
and 3.
a. If an aircraft is unable to continue the flight in accordance with its ATC clearance, a revised clearance
should be obtained, whenever possible, prior to initiating any action.
b. If prior clearance cannot be obtained, the following contingency procedures should be employed until
a revised clearance is received:
(1) leave the cleared route or track by initially turning at least 30 degrees to the right or to the left in
order to intercept and maintain a parallel, same direction track or route offset of 9.3 km (5.0 NM). The
direction of the turn should be based on one or more of the following:
(b) the direction of flights and flight levels allocated on adjacent tracks;
2−INTL−20 SECTION 2
Notices to Airmen International
(2) the aircraft should be flown at a flight level and an offset track where other aircraft are less likely
to be encountered;
(3) maintain a watch for conflicting traffic both visually and by reference to ACAS (if equipped)
leaving ACAS in RA mode at all times, unless aircraft operating limitations dictate otherwise;
(4) turn on all aircraft exterior lights (commensurate with appropriate operating limitations);
(5) keep the SSR transponder on at all times and, when able, squawk 7700, as appropriate;
(6) as soon as practicable, the pilot shall advise air traffic control of any deviation from assigned
clearance;
(7) use whatever means is appropriate (i.e. voice and/or CPDLC) to communicate during a
contingency or emergency;
(8) if voice communication is used, the radiotelephony distress signal (MAYDAY) or urgency signal
(PAN PAN) preferably spoken three times, shall be used, as appropriate;
(9) when emergency situations are communicated via CPDLC, the controller may respond via
CPDLC. However, the controller may also attempt to make voice communication contact with the aircraft;
NOTE−
Additional guidance on emergency procedures for controllers and radio operators, and flight crew, in data link
operations can be found in the Global Operational Data Link (GOLD) Manual (Doc 10037).
(10) establish communications with and alert nearby aircraft by broadcasting, at suitable intervals on
121.5 MHz (or, as a backup, on the inter−pilot air−to−air frequency 123.45 MHz) and where appropriate on
the frequency in use: aircraft identification, the nature of the distress condition, intention of the person in
command, position (including the ATS route designator or the track code, as appropriate) and flight level;
and
(11) the controller should attempt to determine the nature of the emergency and ascertain any
assistance that may be required. Subsequent ATC action with respect to that aircraft shall be based on the
intentions of the pilot and overall traffic situation.
b. the potential for User Preferred Routes (UPRs) parallel to the aircraft’s track or route;
SECTION 2 2−INTL−21
International Notices to Airmen
b. Once established on a parallel, same direction track or route offset by 9.3 km (5.0 NM), either:
(1) descend below FL 290, and establish a 150 m (500 ft) vertical offset from those flight levels
normally used, and proceed as required by the operational situation or, if an ATC clearance has been obtained,
proceed in accordance with the clearance; or
NOTE−
Descent below FL 290 is considered particularly applicable to operations where there is a predominant traffic
flow (e.g. east−west) or parallel track system where the aircraft’s diversion path will likely cross adjacent tracks or
routes. A descent below FL 290 can decrease the likelihood of conflict with other aircraft, ACAS RA events, and
delays in obtaining a revised ATC clearance.
(2) establish a 150 m (500 ft) vertical offset (or 300 m (1000 ft) vertical offset if above FL 410 from
those flight levels normally used, and proceed as required by the operational situation, or if an ATC clearance
has been obtained, proceed in accordance with the clearance.
NOTE−
Altimetry system error may lead to less than actual 500 ft vertical separation when the procedure above is applied.
In addition, with the 500 ft vertical offset applied, ACAS RAs may occur.

a. General
NOTE−
The following procedures are intended for deviations around adverse meteorological conditions.
(1) When weather deviation is required, the pilot should initiate communications with ATC via voice
or CPDLC. A rapid response may be obtained by either:
(a) stating, “WEATHER DEVIATION REQUIRED” to indicate that priority is desired on the
frequency and for ATC response; or
(2) When necessary, the pilot should initiate the communications using the urgency call “PAN PAN”
(preferably spoken three times) or by using a CPDLC urgency downlink message.
(3) The pilot shall inform ATC when weather deviation is no longer required, or when a weather
deviation has been completed and the aircraft has returned to its cleared route.
(1) The pilot should notify ATC and request clearance to deviate from track or route, advising when
possible, the extent of the deviation requested. The flight crew will use whatever means is appropriate (i.e.
CPDLC and/or voice) to communicate during a weather deviation.
NOTE−
Pilots are advised to contact ATC as soon as possible with requests for clearance in order to provide time for the
request to be assessed and acted upon.
(2) ATC should take one of the following actions:
(a) when appropriate separation can be applied, issue clearance to deviate from track; or
(b) if there is conflicting traffic and ATC is unable to establish appropriate separation, ATC should:
[1] advise the pilot of inability to issue clearance for the requested deviation;
(b) advise ATC of intentions and execute the procedures provided in paragraph 4.c. below.
2−INTL−24 SECTION 2
Notices to Airmen International
(b) establish communications with and alert nearby aircraft by broadcasting, at suitable intervals:
aircraft identification, flight level, position (including ATS route designator or the track code) and intentions,
on the frequency in use and on 121.5 MHz (or, as a backup, on the inter−pilot air−to−air frequency 123.45
MHz);.
(c) watch for conflicting traffic both visually and by reference to ACAS (if equipped);
(d) turn on all aircraft exterior lights (commensurate with appropriate operating limitations);
(e) for deviations of less than 9.3 km (5.0 NM) from the originally cleared track or route remain at
a level assigned by ATC;
(f) for deviations greater than or equal to 9.3 km (5.0 NM) from the originally cleared track or route,
when the aircraft is approximately 9.3 km (5.0 NM) from track, initiate a level change in accordance with
the Table below;
(g) if the pilot receives clearance to deviate from cleared track or route for a specified distance and,
subsequently, requests, but cannot obtain a clearance to deviate beyond that distance, the pilot should apply
an altitude offset in accordance with the Table below before deviating beyond the cleared distance;
(h) when returning to track or route, be at its assigned flight level when the aircraft is within
approximately 9.3 km (5.0 NM) of the centerline; and
(i) if contact was not established prior to deviating, continue to attempt to contact ATC to obtain
a clearance. If contact was established, continue to keep ATC advised of intentions and obtain essential traffic
information.
NOTE−
If, as a result of actions taken under the provisions of 4. c. (1), the pilot determines that there is another aircraft at
or near the same flight level with which a conflict may occur, then the pilot is expected to adjust the path of the
aircraft, as necessary, to avoid conflict.

Cold Temperature Restricted Airports Notices to Airmen
Subject: Cold temperature altitude corrections at airports with a published cold temperature restriction.
Purpose: 1. To provide an updated list of 14 CFR Part 97 Cold Temperature Restricted Airports (CTRA) and
segments designated with a temperature restriction; 2. Describe how to calculate and apply altitude
corrections during cold temperature operations; 3. Describe the two methods, All Segments Methods and
NTAP Segment(s) Method, which operators are allowed to use when making cold temperature altitude
corrections.
This year’s list includes restricted temperatures based on standard Required Obstacle Clearance (ROC)
values and published approach altitudes that account for additional altitude adjustments. These adjustments
do not only reflect the minimum ROC for an approach segment based on terrain and/or an obstacle, but also
an upward adjustment for other operational and/or ATC needs. These adjusted approach altitudes can result
in the segment no longer being identified with a restriction or in a revised restricted temperature for the airport
being published, i.e. (−24C now −30C).
This list may also be found at the bottom of the, “Terminal Procedures Basic Search” page.
http://www.faa.gov/air_traffic/flight_info/aeronav/digital_products/dtpp/search/
Background: In response to aviation industry concerns over cold weather altimetry errors, the FAA
conducted a risk analysis to determine if current 14 CFR Part 97 instrument approach procedures, in the
United States National Airspace System, place aircraft at risk during cold temperature operations. This study
applied the coldest recorded temperature at the given airports in the last five years and specifically determined
if there was a probability that during these non−standard day operations, anticipated altitude errors in a
barometric altimetry system could exceed the ROC used on procedure segment altitudes. If a probability, of
the ROC being exceeded, went above one percent on a segment of the approach, a temperature restriction was
applied to that segment. In addition to the low probability that these procedures will be required, the
probability of the ROC being exceeded precisely at an obstacle position is extremely low, providing an even
greater safety margin.
The CTRA risk analysis was only performed on airports of 2500 ft. and greater due to database constraints.
Pilots must calculate a cold temperature altitude correction at any airport included in the airports list below.
Pilots operating into an airport with a runway length less than 2500 feet may make a cold temperature altitude
correction in cold temperature conditions, if desired. Pilots must advise ATC with the corrected altitude when
applying altitude corrections on any approach segment with the exception of the final segment.
All Segments Method: Pilots may correct all altitudes from the IAF altitude to the missed approach final
holding altitude. Pilots familiar with the NTAP procedure for making altitude corrections and choosing to use
the All Segments Method are only required to use the published “snowflake” icon, /CTRA temperature
limit on the approach chart for making corrections and do not need to reference the restricted airports list in
this NTAP. Calculations will be made based on the altitude at the Final Approach Fix (FAF)/Precision Final
Approach Fix (PFAF), the Minimum Descent Altitude or Decision Altitude (DA) and the Missed Approach
(MA) final holding altitude. The calculations made at these fixes will be used to make altitude corrections
on the other fixes in the applicable approach segment(s).
NTAP Segment(s) Method: Pilots may correct only the required segment(s) indicated in this NTAP’s
restricted airports list. Pilots using the NTAP Segment(s) Method will need to reference the NTAP restricted
3−GEN−4 GENERAL
Notices to Airmen Cold Temperature Restricted Airports
airports list to determine which segment(s) require a correction. Calculations will be made based on the
altitude at the Final Approach Fix (FAF)/Precision Final Approach Fix (PFAF), the Minimum Descent
Altitude or Decision Altitude (DA) and the Missed Approach (MA) final holding altitude. The calculations
made at these fixes will be used to make altitude corrections on the other fixes in the applicable approach
segment(s).
Actions:
When and where to correct: Pilots must make an altitude correction to the published, “at”, “at or above” and
“at or below” altitudes on all designated segment(s), for all published procedures and runways when the
reported airport temperature is at or below the published airport cold temperature restriction on the approach
plate. Pilots must advise ATC of the amount of altitude correction applied when correcting on any segment
of the approach other than the final segment. ATC requires this information to ensure appropriate vertical
separation between known traffic. Reference the How to Apply Cold Temperature Altitude Corrections
on an Approach for examples and additional information.
Affected Airports: Cold Temperature Restricted Airports are identified by a “snowflake” icon ( ) and
temperature limit, in Celsius, on U.S. Government approach charts or a “textual” Note published on
commercial charting publications. The NTAP will maintain the list of airports and segment(s) affected. Pilots
correcting all segments will need only to use the instrument approach chart to determine whether the approach
requires a cold temperature altitude correction.
Altitudes not corrected: ATC does not apply a cold temperature correction to Minimum Vectoring Altitude
(MVA) charts. Pilots must request approval from ATC to apply a cold temperature correction to an ATC
assigned altitude or an assigned altitude when flying on a radar vector in lieu of a published missed approach
procedure. Pilots must not correct altitudes published on Standard Instrument Departures (SIDs), Obstacle
Departure Procedures (ODPs) and Standard Terminal Arrivals (STARs).
Use of corrected MDA/DA: Pilots must use the corrected Minimum Descent Altitude (MDA) or Decision
Altitude/ Decision Height (DA) as the minimum for an approach. Pilots must meet the requirements in 14
CFR Part 91.175 in order to operate below the corrected MDA or DA. Pilots must see and avoid obstacles
when descending below the MDA.
Methods for Calculating Altitude Corrections: Pilots of aircraft not equipped with an RNAV system capable
of temperature compensation must use the AIM 7−2−3, ICAO Cold Temperature Error Table to calculate a
cold temperature altitude correction. The calculations for the approach will be calculated from three points
on the approach:
NOTE: For the purpose of this procedure, when the FAF is referenced, it is the FAF altitude or the
PFAF/Glideslope intercept altitude.
1. The FAF/PFAF will be used to calculate the correction to be applied to all altitudes from the
FAF/PFAF:
a. Up to but not including the intermediate fix (IF) altitude for the NTAP Segment(s)
Method
b. Up to and including the initial approach fix (IAF) for the All Segments Method
2. The published MDA or DA will be used to calculate the correction to be applied to all altitudes in
the final approach segment as applicable.
3. The final missed approach (MA) holding altitude will be used to calculate the correction to be
applied to the final missed approach holding altitude only.
NOTE: Pilots may use Real Time Mesocscale Analysis (RTMA): Alternate Report of Surface
Temperature, for computing altitude corrections, when airport temperatures are not available via

approach plates is independent of the temperature restriction established at a “Cold Temperature Restricted
Airport”. The charted temperature restriction for an uncompensated baro−VNAV system is applicable when
the LNAV/VNAV line of minima is used on an RNAV (GPS) approach. The temperature restriction for an
uncompensated baro−VNAV system on an RNAV (RNP) AR approach applies to the entire procedure.
Aircraft without a compensating baro−VNAV system may not use the LNAV/VNAV line of minima on the
RNAV (GPS) approach when the actual temperature is above or below the charted baro−VNAV temperature
restriction. For aircraft without a compensating baro−VNAV system, the RNAV (RNP) AR approach is not
authorized when the actual temperature is above or below the charted baro−VNAV temperature restriction.
In all cases, a cold temperature altitude correction must be applied when the actual temperature is at or below
the cold temperature restricted airport temperature restriction.
All Segments Method: All segments corrected from IAF through MA holding altitude:
Step 1: Determine if there is a published “snowflake” icon, /CTRA temperature limit on the approach
chart.
Step 2: If the reported airport temperature is at or below the published CTRA temperature limit, apply cold
temperature altitude corrections to all published altitudes from the IAF altitude to the MA final holding
altitude.
A Aircraft not equipped with a temperature compensating RNAV system or not using that system (use
manual correction).
S All altitudes from the FAF/PFAF up to and including the IAF altitude: Calculate correction
by taking FAF/PFAF altitude and subtracting the airport elevation. This number will be used
to enter the height above airport in the ICAO table until reaching the reported temperature.
Round this number as applicable and then add to all altitudes from the FAF altitude through
the IAF altitude.
S All altitudes in final segment: Calculate correction by taking the MDA or DA for the approach
being flown and subtract the airport elevation. This number will be used to enter the height
above airport in the ICAO table until reaching the reported temperature. Use this number or
round up. Add this number to MDA or DA/DH, as applicable, and any applicable step−down
fixes in the final segment.
S Final holding altitude in the Missed Approach Segment: Calculate the correction by taking the
final missed approach (MA) holding altitude and subtract the airport elevation. This number
will be used to enter the height above airport in the ICAO table until reaching the reported
temperature. Round this number as applicable and then add to the final MA altitude only.
B If flying an aircraft equipped with a RNAV system capable of temperature compensation, follow
the instructions for applying temperature compensation provided in the AFM, AFM supplement, or
RNAV system operating manual. Ensure that temperature compensation is active prior to the IAF and
remains active through the entire approach. Manually calculate an altimetry correction for the MDA
or DA. Determine an altimetry correction from the ICAO table based on the reported airport
temperature and the height difference between the MDA or DA, as applicable, and the airport elevation.
NOTE: Some RNAV systems apply temperature compensation only to those altitudes associated with
an instrument approach procedure loaded into the active flight plan while other systems apply
temperature compensation to all procedure altitudes or user entered altitudes in the active flight plan,
GENERAL 3−GEN−7
Cold Temperature Restricted Airports Notices to Airmen
including altitudes associated with a STAR. For those systems that apply temperature compensation to
all altitudes in the active flight plan, delay activating temperature compensation until the aircraft has
passed the last altitude constraint associated with the active STAR.
Step 3: For RNAV (GPS) approaches flown to the LNAV/VNAV line of minima using baro−VNAV vertical
guidance, determine if there are published uncompensated baro−VNAV temperature limits. If the reported
airport temperature is above or below the published limits, do not use the LNAV/VNAV line of minima unless
the RNAV system is capable of temperature compensation and the system is active. Use an alternative line
of minima (e.g., LNAV). CTRA correction must still be made on this approach if applicable.
Step 4: For RNAV (RNP) AR approaches, determine if there are uncompensated baro−VNAV temperature
limits published on the approach. If the reported airport temperature is above or below the published
temperature limits, the RNP (AR) approach may not be flown.
NOTE: When executing an approach with vertical guidance at a CTRA airport (i.e., ILS, LPV,
LNAV/VNAV), pilots are reminded to follow the glideslope/glidepath as published when it is
intersected inbound on the approach at the corrected altitude. The ILS glideslope and WAAS generated
glidepath are unaffected by cold temperatures and will be provide reliable vertical guidance to the
corrected DA/DH. A baro−VNAV generated glidepath will be affected by cold temperatures and must
be corrected when at or below the published temperature limit and using the LNAV/VNAV line of
minima to DA/DH.
Step 1: Determine if there is a published “snowflake” icon, /CTRA temperature limit on the approach
chart.
Step 2: If the reported airport temperature is at or below the published CTRA temperature limit, apply cold
temperature altitude corrections to all published altitudes, on the affected segments, listed in Cold
Temperature Restricted Airports List found in this NTAP.
A Aircraft not equipped with a temperature compensating RNAV system or not using the system will
make a manual correction using ICAO Cold Temperature Error Table.
S Intermediate Segment: All altitudes from the FAF/PFAF up to but not including the
intermediate fix (IF) altitude. Calculate correction by taking FAF/PFAF altitude and
subtracting the airport elevation. This number will be used to enter the height above airport
in the ICAO table until reaching the reported temperature. Round this number as applicable
and then add to FAF altitude and all step−down altitudes.
S Final segment: Calculate correction by taking the MDA or DA for the approach being flown
and subtract the airport elevation. This number will be used to enter the height above airport
in the ICAO table until reaching the reported temperature. Use this number or round up. Add
this number to MDA or DA/DH, as applicable, and any applicable step−down fixes in the final
segment.
S Missed Approach Segment: Calculate the correction by taking the final missed approach
(MA) holding altitude and subtract the airport elevation. This number will be used to enter the
height above airport in the ICAO table until reaching the reported temperature. Round this
number as applicable and then add to the final MA altitude only.
B If flying an aircraft equipped with a RNAV system capable of temperature compensation, follow
the instructions for applying temperature compensation provided in the AFM, AFM supplement, or
3−GEN−8 GENERAL
Notices to Airmen Cold Temperature Restricted Airports
RNAV system operating manual. Ensure that temperature compensation is active on the segment being
corrected. Manually calculate an altimetry correction for the MDA or DA. Determine an altimetry
correction from the ICAO table based on the reported airport temperature and the height difference
between the MDA or DA, as applicable, and the airport elevation.
NOTE: Some RNAV systems apply temperature compensation only to those altitudes associated with
an instrument approach procedure loaded into the active flight plan while other systems apply
temperature compensation to all procedure altitudes or user entered altitudes in the active flight plan,
including altitudes associated with a STAR. For those systems that apply temperature compensation to
all altitudes in the active flight plan, delay activating temperature compensation until the aircraft has
passed the last altitude constraint associated with the active STAR.
Step 3: For RNAV (GPS) approaches flown to the LNAV/VNAV line of minima using baro−VNAV vertical
guidance, determine if there are published uncompensated baro−VNAV temperature limits. If the reported
airport temperature is above or below the published limits, do not use the LNAV/VNAV line of minima unless
the RNAV system is capable of temperature compensation and the system is active. Use an alternative line
of minima (e.g., LNAV). CTRA correction must still be made on this approach if applicable.
Step 4: For RNAV (RNP) AR approaches, determine if there are uncompensated baro−VNAV temperature
limits published on the approach. If the reported airport temperature is above or below the published
temperature limits, the RNP (AR) approach may not be flown.
NOTE: When executing an approach with vertical guidance at a CTRA airport (i.e., ILS, LPV,
LNAV/VNAV), pilots are reminded to follow the glideslope/glidepath as published when it is
intersected inbound on the approach at the corrected altitude. The ILS glideslope and WAAS generated

corrected DA/DH. A baro−VNAV generated glidepath will be affected by cold temperatures and must
be corrected when at or below the published temperature limit and using the LNAV/VNAV line of
minima to DA/DH.
Communication: Pilots must request approval from ATC whenever applying a cold temperature altitude
correction. Pilots do not need to inform ATC of the final approach segment correction (i.e., new MDA or
DA/DH). This report should be provided on initial radio contact with the ATC facility issuing approach
clearance. ATC requires this information in order to ensure appropriate vertical separation between known
traffic. Pilots should query ATC when vectored altitudes to a segment are lower than the requested corrected
altitude. Pilots are encouraged to self−announce corrected altitude when flying into non−towered airfields.
The following are examples of appropriate pilot−to−ATC communication when applying cold−temperature
altitude corrections.
S On initial check−in with ATC providing approach clearance: Hayden, CO (example below).
d Vectors to final approach course: Outside of PICIN: “Request 12000 ft. for cold temperature
operations.”
d Vectors to final approach course: Inside of PICIN: “Request 10500 ft. for cold temperature
operations.”
d Missed Approach segment: “Require final holding altitude, 10500 ft. on missed approach
for cold temperature operations.”
S Pilots cleared by ATC for an instrument approach procedure; “Cleared the RNAV RWY 28 approach
(from any IAF)”. Hayden, CO (example below).
d IAF: “Request 13500 for cold temperature operations at TUSKK, TILLI or HIPNA”

Notices to Airmen Prototype Runway Status Lights (RWSL) at DFW
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) operates prototype Runway Status Lights (RWSL) system at
DFW.
Runway Status Lights, indicate when a runway is unsafe to enter, cross, or take−off through the use of
in−pavement red lights installed only at selected intersections and runways as described below.
LIGHTING
RWSL conveys the runway occupancy status, indicating when a runway is unsafe to enter through the use
of red in−pavement warning Runway Entrance Lights (RELs) and when it is unsafe to take off through the
use of red in−pavement warning Takeoff Hold Lights (THLs).
The RELs are a series of red lights, typically 6, 7 or up to 20+ in−pavement lights spaced evenly along the
taxiway centerline from the taxiway hold line to the runway edge. One REL is placed just before the hold line
and one REL is placed near the runway centerline. All RELs are directed toward the runway hold line and
are oriented to be visible only to pilots and vehicle operators entering or crossing the runway from that
location.
The THLs are directed toward the approach end of the runway and are visible to pilots in position for takeoff
or just commencing departure roll. There are two sets of THLs, each comprising a series of red in−pavement
lights at 100’ spacing along the runway centerline.
When operating at airports with RWSL, pilots will operate with the transponder “On” when departing the gate
or parking area until arrival at the gate or parking area. This ensures interaction with the FAA surveillance
systems which provide information to the RWSL system.
Runway Status Lights indicate runway status only. They do not substitute for an ATC clearance. Pilots are
still required to receive an ATC clearance as they normally would for any operation on the runway.

VFR ARRIVALS/DEPARTURES
Due to the anticipated increase in the volume of traffic, enroute aircraft desiring to transverse the DFW Class
B airspace may encounter delays and alternate routes outside the Class B airspace. (See Dallas/Fort Worth

ARRIVAL PROCEDURES
MONITOR ATIS on 134.05. Enter the traffic pattern with lights on and gear down. Maintain a pattern as close
to the airport boundary as safety will allow. Be alert for specific landing point and runway exit instructions.
Expeditious compliance is expected. After exiting the runway, airport personnel will direct you to parking.
There is a limited amount of paved parking, anticipate parking in grassy areas. Comply promptly with airport
ground crew directions to keep the runway clear of traffic.
CAUTION: Use extreme caution when entering the area around the Talladega Airport due to limited radar
coverage, high minimum vectoring altitude (4,000FT) and mountainous terrain in the KASN area.
Two−way radio is required. MONITOR Talladega Tower frequency and contact the tower no earlier than 10
miles from the airport. Keep transmissions brief to reduce frequency congestion. Unless otherwise directed
by the Tower, enter the traffic pattern via a standard downwind entry. Traffic pattern directions: RWY 22
left−hand, RWY 04 right−hand. Only arrival/departure aircraft operations authorized below 2500MSL
within 5NM of ASN.
IFR ARRIVALS
There is LIMITED radar coverage in the Talladega area. To minimize delays and make the best use of
the radar coverage west of Talladega, expect visual approach or ILS/RNV RWY 04 approach if weather
requires. Pilots should expect radar vectors 15NM west of Talladega and to remain at or above 4000MSL for
radar coverage. Due to the close proximity of PLR, ASN, and ANB, expect holding for non−radar separation
and sequencing.
NOTE: IFR arrivals on April 28, 2019 from 1600−2000 CDT (2100−0100 UTC) may expect a 2−3 hour
delay due to KASN/KANB departure traffic. Pilots should plan to arrive before 1600 CDT or after 2000 CDT.
3−SPORT−22 ALABAMA
Notices to Airmen NASCAR − GEICO 500
Due to close proximity and limited radar coverage, KASN, KANB, and KPLR are one airport for departure
clearance purposes.
MONITOR ATIS on 134.05 prior to engine start to determine the runway in use and applicable procedure.
Pilots must adhere to departure procedures to reduce frequency congestion and provide ATC a method of
sequencing and spacing. It is critical that pilots MONITOR the correct frequency as indicated.
IFR aircraft departing after the race on Sunday, April 28, 2019 prior to 1930 CDT, are asked to file flight
plans with a 1530 CDT (2030Z) proposed departure time to ensure flight plan delivery to the temporary tower
and reduce departure delays. Atlanta ARTC Center will ensure flight plans with a 2030 UTC departure time
remain in the system until 0030 UTC (April 29, 2019).
NOTE: IFR clearances are available at the FBO thirty minutes prior to the filed proposed departure time.
Users are encouraged to obtain clearance at the FBO to reduce frequency congestion and expedite the overall
departure process.
Aircraft parked in the grass between the airport and the racetrack, taxi to the STOP sign located between
taxiways A2 and A3 via the designated taxi route. (See airport diagrams). When number one (1) at the STOP
sign, call Ground Control on 121.7.

Pilots are expected to adhere to all published LAL arrival and departure procedures and ATC instructions.
Failure to do so may jeopardize your safety and the safety of others.
No Radio (NORDO) aircraft must land at an airport within approximately thirty (30) minutes of LAL, call
Lakeland Tower at 863−834−3335, and receive ATC approval for arrival. Specific routes and runway
assignment will be issued based on traffic and weather conditions.
To ensure clear and concise communications with ATC, pilots are asked to carry a copy of the Sun ’n Fun
NOTAM aboard their aircraft.
All VFR departures requesting airborne activation of IFR flight plans or VFR flight following in the central
Florida area should use published procedures. (See: IFR Pick Up/VFR Flight Following)
When weather at Lakeland or along your route of flight is marginal VFR, it is strongly suggested that you
file IFR from your departure airport and receive your IFR clearance and departure release on the ground.
Tampa, Orlando, and Jacksonville Approaches may be unable to issue IFR pick−up clearances due to traffic
volume and complexity.
When traffic volume is low, Air Traffic frequencies and positions may be combined. Ground Air Traffic
Operational Remote (GATOR) and flagmen positions may not be staffed. Continue to follow ATC
instructions.
Pilots should check Local and FDC NOTAMs frequently for current information that may affect your flight.
Pilots must obtain ATC clearance prior to entering Class B airspace around Tampa and Orlando.
Due to the large number of departures after the daily airshow, arrival traffic is normally not accepted until
at least one (1) hour after the airshow ends. Check arrival ATIS to determine when the airport is reopened.
Do NOT plan to arrive or depart after the night airshow. The airport is closed.
Do NOT make unnecessary radio transmissions where procedures state, “Monitor the frequency only”.
Pilots landing or departing LAL should display a sign in the LEFT side of their windshield to designate their
intended parking/camping area or type departure. The sign should have LARGE dark letters readable from
at least 50 feet. Computer or tablet signs are not acceptable.
