Q

Purpose of NOTAM distribution.

A

The distribution of information, that may affect safety and operations in advance of the event to which it relates, except in the case of unserviceable facilities or unavailability of services; volcanic activity; release of radioactive material and toxic chemicals that cannot be foreseen. Thus, to realize its purpose the addressee must receive a NOTAM in sufficient time for any required action to be taken. (The value of a NOTAM lies in it’s “news content” and it’s residual historical value is therefore minimal.)
