Notices, Department of State Advisories, and Overland/Oceanic Airspace
Notices.
8.2.3.6.4. Part 4 contains graphical notices of items that will impact flight
operations in the following areas: General Information, Special Military
Operations, Major Sporting and Entertainment Events, Northeast United States,
Southeast United States, East Central United States, South Central United States,
Southwest United States, Northwest United States, Alaska/Hawaii and Special
Airshow Section.
8.2.3.7. GPS NOTAMs. There are three types of GPS NOTAMs – satellite outage
NOTAMs, RAIM availability NOTAMs and GPS jamming NOTAMs. Satellite
outage NOTAMs are accessed through the DINS web page by entering the 4-letter
identifier “KGPS”. When entered, this identifier will provide information on satellite
outages. Out of service satellites will be identified by their PRN. RAIM availability
NOTAMs maybe obtained by entering the 4-letter ICAO airfield identifier on the
NOTAM home page for selected military airfields. Additionally, information on
planned GPS jamming operations for the US NAS is listed in the appropriate center
NOTAMs. In areas of predicted jamming, aircraft may not plan to use GPS to fly
instrument procedures, however, if GPS is available it may be used. Both types of
GPS NOTAMs must be retrieved for all flights that will use GPS.
8.3. DoD Internet NOTAM Distribution System (https://www.notams.jcs.mil or backup
https://www.notams.faa.gov). DINS provides real time NOTAM data validated by the U.S.
NOTAM System (USNS), which includes domestic, international, military and FDC
NOTAMs. DINS undergoes frequent changes to improve the content and format of
information provided. The information is broken down into multiple pages including the
Home Page/United States NOTAM Office, FDC NOTAMs, TFRs, Special Notices, ARTCC
NOTAMs, Radius/Flight Path Search, the North Atlantic and Pacific Track Systems,
Reduced Vertical Separation Minima (RVSM), European Theater, FM Immunity, and ICAO
Search/Listing. DINS will provide a plain language notice, highlighted in red, when a
requested location is not in the U.S. NOTAM System. If the requested location is not
covered, it does not transmit NOTAM information for the USNS. You must contact the
requested location to receive NOTAM information.
8.3.1. Home Page/United States NOTAM Office Page. Input the four-letter ICAO
identifiers for the airfields you want to check NOTAMs for. You can enter up to 50
ICAO identifiers at any one time. You may also enter Flight Information Region (FIR)
identifiers, Military Operations Areas (MOA) names, special use airspace identifiers and
ARTCC identifiers to check their NOTAMs as well as KFDC and KGPS to check FDC
and GPS NOTAMs respectively. GPS NOTAMs must be retrieved prior to flight where
GPS will be used. Click the “View NOTAMs” button to view the current NOTAMs for
your selections. NOTAMs are displayed in plain language text with the tracking number
unless “raw” format is selected. When raw format is selected, NOTAMs are presented in
the international, machine-readable, ICAO code format with multiple report fields,
NOTAM series and NOTAM tracking numbers displayed.
8.3.2. FDC TFRs, Special Notices & ARTCC NOTAMs Page (Applies to CONUS only).
This page offers the flexibility for the user to extract TFRs from the FDC NOTAMs and
