NOTAM FORMAT
Overview of changes
 NAV CANADA

WHAT’S HAPPENING?
Two changes are coming on October 10, 2019:

› NAV CANADA will transition to the ICAO › NOTAMS retrieved directly from a NAV
NOTAM format CANADA web site will be access through
the Collaborative Flight Planning
Services (CFPS) web site instead of the
Aviation Weather Web Site (AWWS)
 NAV CANADA

BENEFITS OF ICAO
NOTAM FORMAT

› Aligned with ICAO standards

› Pilot briefings will contain NOTAM that are pertinent to flight thus reducing risk of
misinformation
› Automation assists with entry and validation of NOTAM
