Introduction - What is NES? The NOTAM Entry System (NES) is an FAA program designed to simplify and expedite the TFR request process. It was created for authorized users to input TFR requests using a web browser that creates a draft TFR that is sent to the appropriate ARTCC who forwards it to the US NOTAM office for issuance. NES presentation by Julie Stewart j5stewar@blm.gov 8/9/2013

Instructions for the NOTAM Entry System (NES) It is accomplished through the acquisition of an internet “Certificate” which may be considered a passport to the secured FAA NES Website. Authorized users are required to down load the “certificate” to their computer and register as users of the NOTAM Entry System. NES presentation by Julie Stewart j5stewar@blm.gov 8/9/2013

Entering the TFR Information Once in the system, select 1. Once in the system, Select/Click on 91.137 Form. NES presentation by Julie Stewart j5stewar@blm.gov 8/9/2013

NES presentation by Julie Stewart j5stewar@blm.gov 8/9/2013 2: The 91.137 (a) (1) is automatically highlighted – do NOT use. 3: You must click/select on 91.137 (A) 2 NES presentation by Julie Stewart j5stewar@blm.gov 8/9/2013

NES presentation by Julie Stewart j5stewar@blm.gov 8/9/2013 4. Click on “Select” and use drop down menu for selecting reason for requesting TFR under 91.137 (A) (2). For wildland fires select “Fire Fighting.” NOTE – you HAVE to click on “Select” and select “Fire Fighting”. If you don’t then the “Name of Fire” box will NOT appear. 5. After the word “Fire Fighting” add the words “Aviation Operations” so it reads “Fire Fighting Aviation Operations.” NES presentation by Julie Stewart j5stewar@blm.gov 8/9/2013

NES presentation by Julie Stewart j5stewar@blm.gov 8/9/2013 6. Type in Incident Name and the word “fire.” For example: The Bledsoe. This clarifies the name of the fire within the NOTAM. If you do not add “the”, it can be very confusing because of the way the NOTAM is issued. NES presentation by Julie Stewart j5stewar@blm.gov 8/9/2013

NES presentation by Julie Stewart j5stewar@blm.gov 8/9/2013 7. Click on ARTCC for Drop down menu. Select the appropriate ARTCC for the TFR location. (you must use the 3 letter code as specified. NES presentation by Julie Stewart j5stewar@blm.gov 8/9/2013

NES presentation by Julie Stewart j5stewar@blm.gov 8/9/2013 8. Select the State in which the incident is located from the Drop down menu. 9. General Location: Type in the City or well known geographical reference nearest to the Incident. NOTE – you MUST add the State abbreviation such as “24 NM West of Olympia, WA” or the TFR will NOT map correctly. NES presentation by Julie Stewart j5stewar@blm.gov 8/9/2013

NES presentation by Julie Stewart j5stewar@blm.gov 8/9/2013 Next step – Time Range You have two choices: A 24 hour a day TFR. A “time specific” TFR that has a start time in the morning and a closing time in the evening. NES presentation by Julie Stewart j5stewar@blm.gov 8/9/2013

NES presentation by Julie Stewart j5stewar@blm.gov 8/9/2013 10: Click on Time Ranges. This opens a box which allows you to specifies the time range. 11: For 24 hour a day coverage, Ignore Step 1. Click on “Get Time Range” under Step 2. NES presentation by Julie Stewart j5stewar@blm.gov 8/9/2013

NES presentation by Julie Stewart j5stewar@blm.gov 8/9/2013 12: When you click on “Get Time Range” in Step 2, This will bring in a standard clause “effective immediately until further notice.” 13: Click on “Save New Time Range” in Step 3. This will populate the box with your time range. NES presentation by Julie Stewart j5stewar@blm.gov 8/9/2013

NES presentation by Julie Stewart j5stewar@blm.gov 8/9/2013 14: Click on the exit box once your selected time range is “saved.” NES presentation by Julie Stewart j5stewar@blm.gov 8/9/2013

NES presentation by Julie Stewart j5stewar@blm.gov 8/9/2013 ALTERNATE If you want to identify specific hours of operation in your TFR Do NOT use the words “Daylight”, “Civil Twilight”, “Sunrise”, etc in your description as these are not LEGAL terms for the issuance of a regulatory FDC NOTAM. You must use actual times of operation. NES presentation by Julie Stewart j5stewar@blm.gov 8/9/2013

NES presentation by Julie Stewart j5stewar@blm.gov 8/9/2013 a: Go through Step One to populate the time range box with the words “Effective Immediately Until Further Notice”. b: Next, click after the word “notice” and add the following words to designate your time frame for example: “1200-0430 UTC” Note – this is an EXAMPLE. c: Which interprets to mean “effective immediately until further notice 1200-0430 Zulu or 0600 – 2100 Local” (UTC is the acronym for Greenwich Mean Time – aka Zulu). NES presentation by Julie Stewart j5stewar@blm.gov 8/9/2013

NES presentation by Julie Stewart j5stewar@blm.gov 8/9/2013 Next Step – Shape of TFR For a circular TFR, continue to the next page or slide For a polygon TFR, please go to Slide Number 39. NES presentation by Julie Stewart j5stewar@blm.gov 8/9/2013

NES presentation by Julie Stewart j5stewar@blm.gov 8/9/2013 15. “Affected Area”: Select either “circle” or “polygon”. DO NOT SELECT “Corridor” as that is used for Presidential motorcades. NES presentation by Julie Stewart j5stewar@blm.gov 8/9/2013

Circular TFR (For Polygon TFRs go to Slide #39.) 16. Enter Circle Radius as specified on the TFR request form. Suggested guideline is 5 NM 17. Enter latitude and longitude of the TFR. Remember to Type N (north) after latitude and W (west) after Longitude. Remember TFRs Latitude and Longitude must be in Degree,Minutes,Seconds. NOT IN DECIMALS and with no punctuation. If you do not have the seconds, use zero’s. NES presentation by Julie Stewart j5stewar@blm.gov 8/9/2013

NES presentation by Julie Stewart j5stewar@blm.gov 8/9/2013 Note the attempt to put in Degrees, Minutes, Tenths. It will be rejected by NES. NES presentation by Julie Stewart j5stewar@blm.gov 8/9/2013

NES presentation by Julie Stewart j5stewar@blm.gov 8/9/2013 18. Click on “Find Navigation Aids” Button which will provide a list of the closest NavAid VORs. 19. Select the top NavAid as this is usually the closest to the incident. (But do not select it if it is a TVOR or a NDB – see Nav Aid discussion for more information. NES presentation by Julie Stewart j5stewar@blm.gov 8/9/2013

NES presentation by Julie Stewart j5stewar@blm.gov 8/9/2013 20. When you check the VOR type, if it says “NDB” (Non Directional Beacon) or “TVOR” (Terminal VOR) , then do NOT use it and use the Nav aid listed below it. Even though NES lists it, it is NOT a valid or appropriate Nav aid for a TFR. “As the name implies, the signal transmitted does not include inherent directional information, in contrast to other navigational aids such as Low Frequency Radio Range, VHF omnidirectional range (VOR) and TACAN. However, the NDB signal is affected more by atmospheric conditions, mountainous terrain, coastal refraction and electrical storms, particularly at long range.” Therefore we do not use them in a TFR.” (Wikipedia reference) NES presentation by Julie Stewart j5stewar@blm.gov 8/9/2013

NES presentation by Julie Stewart j5stewar@blm.gov 8/9/2013 For example NES suggests St George (OZN) Do not use even if it is the closest Nav Aid as it is a TVOR. NES presentation by Julie Stewart j5stewar@blm.gov 8/9/2013

How to enter a polygon TFR 1. Latitude/Longitude information needs to be entered in a clockwise direction. 2. A rectangular shaped Polygon requires 4 data points. 3. You need to select the closest Navigation Aid for each Latitude/Longitude data point. 4. If possible, use the SAME Nav Aid for all data points. Do NOT use Canadian Nav Aids. . NES presentation by Julie Stewart j5stewar@blm.gov 8/9/2013

NES presentation by Julie Stewart j5stewar@blm.gov 8/9/2013 a: Select Polygon NES presentation by Julie Stewart j5stewar@blm.gov 8/9/2013

NES presentation by Julie Stewart j5stewar@blm.gov 8/9/2013 Polygon Point Guide #1 #2 #1 and #2 have the same Latitudes NW Point NE Point #2 and #3 have the same longitudes. #1 and #4 have the same longitudes. # 3 and #4 have the same latitudes SW Point SE Point #4 #3 NES presentation by Julie Stewart j5stewar@blm.gov 8/9/2013

NES presentation by Julie Stewart j5stewar@blm.gov 8/9/2013 c. Select your corresponding Nav aid by clicking on it. NES presentation by Julie Stewart j5stewar@blm.gov 8/9/2013

NES presentation by Julie Stewart j5stewar@blm.gov 8/9/2013 d. Now enter your second latitude and longitude. Click on find navigation aid. Select Navigation Aid and then continue in a clockwise direction with the rest of your latitude and longitudes. NES presentation by Julie Stewart j5stewar@blm.gov 8/9/2013

NES presentation by Julie Stewart j5stewar@blm.gov 8/9/2013 e. This is what it looks like after entering two sets of coordinates. Continue entering coordinates one at a time and then view your graphic to make sure you have not created a “bow tie” TFR. NES presentation by Julie Stewart j5stewar@blm.gov 8/9/2013

NES presentation by Julie Stewart j5stewar@blm.gov 8/9/2013 The only accepted lat/long format by the FAA US NOTAM office for TFR’s is Degrees, Minutes, Seconds With no punctuation. Note the attempt to put in Degrees, Minutes, Tenths was rejected by NES. NES presentation by Julie Stewart j5stewar@blm.gov 8/9/2013

NES presentation by Julie Stewart j5stewar@blm.gov 8/9/2013 e. After viewing your graphic, click on Save Polygon. NES presentation by Julie Stewart j5stewar@blm.gov 8/9/2013

Be sure to view your polygon TFR to make sure it is not a bow-tie! NES presentation by Julie Stewart j5stewar@blm.gov 8/9/2013

How do you know if a VOR is a TVOR? You don’t! It’s not on a sectional. There are three ways to make sure it is not a TVOR: Look in the Airport Flight Directory Look up the VOR in AirNav.com Check in IAMS Did you forget what a TVOR is? It is a Terminal or Airport VOR often with limited range. NES presentation by Julie Stewart j5stewar@blm.gov 8/9/2013

NES presentation by Julie Stewart j5stewar@blm.gov 8/9/2013 This is what you will see when you look up an airport in the Airport/Facility Directory (you can subscribe or find it on line if you Google “Airport/Flight Director on line at NACO). A TVOR (Airport VOR) will have a (T) in front of it. Do not use this VOR as your NAV Aid in your TFR as it has limited range. For example, notice that this NAV Aid for St. George (OZN) is not usable beyond 15 NM. NES presentation by Julie Stewart j5stewar@blm.gov 8/9/2013

You can also check a Nav Aid Type at www.airnav.com Note under characteristics that it Says T-VORW/DME which means it Is a Terminal VOR associated with An airport and has no distance. NES presentation by Julie Stewart j5stewar@blm.gov 8/9/2013

Non Directional Beacon (NDB) Discussion Often, NES will list NDBs that have Distance Measuring Equipment (DME) particularly in Alaska. Care must be taken when using NES in Alaska to not use NDB’s. There are 24 such facilities in Alaska There are only 4 NDB/DME combinations in the lower 49. Hailey, ID North Carolina Two in Minnesota NES presentation by Julie Stewart j5stewar@blm.gov 8/9/2013

NDB Discussion continued While there are hundreds of NDB’s throughout the country and many of them are listed in NES, they should NOT be used as a navigational aid associated with a TFR. “As the name implies, the signal transmitted does not include inherent directional information, in contrast to other navigational aids such as Low Frequency Radio Range, VHF Omnidirectional Range (VOR) and TACAN. However, the NDB signal is affected more by atmospheric conditions, mountainous terrain, coastal refraction and electrical storms, particularly at long range.” Therefore we do not use them in a TFR.” (Wikipedia reference) NES presentation by Julie Stewart j5stewar@blm.gov 8/9/2013

NES presentation by Julie Stewart j5stewar@blm.gov 8/9/2013 20. Check the VOR type – if it says “NDB” (Non Directional Beacon, then do NOT use it and use the navaid listed below it. Even though NES lists it, it is NOT a valid or appropriate navaid for a TFR. Do NOT SELECT. Use Burley. “As the name implies, the signal transmitted does not include inherent directional information, in contrast to other navigational aids such as Low Frequency Radio Range, VHF omnidirectional range (VOR) and TACAN. However, the NDB signal is affected more by atmospheric conditions, mountainous terrain, coastal refraction and electrical storms, particularly at long range.” Therefore we do not use them in a TFR.” (Wikipedia reference) NES presentation by Julie Stewart j5stewar@blm.gov 8/9/2013

NES presentation by Julie Stewart j5stewar@blm.gov 8/9/2013 21. Once you select the closest VOR, the latitude/Longitude and the corresponding VOR/Bearing Distance will “populate” in the Box under Preview. 22. To see a TFR on a Sectional map Select /Click on “view graphic”. This will allow you to see what the TFR will look like. NES presentation by Julie Stewart j5stewar@blm.gov 8/9/2013

NES presentation by Julie Stewart j5stewar@blm.gov 8/9/2013 23. This is a preview of a TFR NES presentation by Julie Stewart j5stewar@blm.gov 8/9/2013

NES presentation by Julie Stewart j5stewar@blm.gov 8/9/2013 So what am I looking at? You actually are looking at two circles; one red, one blue. Each circle represents the area closed by either the description of the Nav aid by distance or the latitude/longitude. The FAA accepts a certain distance between the two circles. If the distance is too far, NES will give a suggestion as to how to fix either the latitude/longitude or bearing/distance. This can be an issue in Alaska. NES presentation by Julie Stewart j5stewar@blm.gov 8/9/2013

NES presentation by Julie Stewart j5stewar@blm.gov 8/9/2013 This is what your TFR graphic looks like when you “Zoom” out. NES presentation by Julie Stewart j5stewar@blm.gov 8/9/2013

If you wish to save your graphic! You may choose at this time to send the graphic to the requesting unit to verify the position of the TFR. You can do a screen capture or save the picture by doing a “right click” and saving it as a .jpg. You can then mail it to the requesting unit if you have doubts about the location. You will not have a chance to view/save this graphic after it is submitted. NES presentation by Julie Stewart j5stewar@blm.gov 8/9/2013

NES presentation by Julie Stewart j5stewar@blm.gov 8/9/2013 23. After viewing the graphic, Click on “Save Circle.” NES presentation by Julie Stewart j5stewar@blm.gov 8/9/2013

Finding the ARTCC Boundaries NES presentation by Julie Stewart j5stewar@blm.gov 8/9/2013

How to find the right ARTCC (if you don’t know it) You have the option to zoom in, zoom out or pan. Select “Zoom out” and click on the map. NES presentation by Julie Stewart j5stewar@blm.gov 8/9/2013

Alternate way to find the ARTCC “Zoom Out” until you see the pale yellow lines on the map. These are the ARTCC Boundaries and you should be able to determine which ARTCC your TFR is within. NES presentation by Julie Stewart j5stewar@blm.gov 8/9/2013

NES presentation by Julie Stewart j5stewar@blm.gov 8/9/2013 Alternate way to describe TFR is by using a Nav Aid Bearing and Distance. a. Select or click on the grey bar “Define by Navigation Aid”. NES presentation by Julie Stewart j5stewar@blm.gov 8/9/2013

NES presentation by Julie Stewart j5stewar@blm.gov 8/9/2013 b. Enter a bearing and distance from the closest Nav aid. Click on the highlighted latitude/longitude and it will populate the description box. NES presentation by Julie Stewart j5stewar@blm.gov 8/9/2013

NES presentation by Julie Stewart j5stewar@blm.gov 8/9/2013 The dimensions of the TFR will appear in the Box under the words “Affected Area”. NES presentation by Julie Stewart j5stewar@blm.gov 8/9/2013

NES presentation by Julie Stewart j5stewar@blm.gov 8/9/2013 24. Type in Altitude from TFR request form and select MSL. All wildland fires are in MSL. NES presentation by Julie Stewart j5stewar@blm.gov 8/9/2013

NES presentation by Julie Stewart j5stewar@blm.gov 8/9/2013 25. Type in the TFR Coordinating Unit. This will be published in the TFR NOTAM. It could be the local GACC or Dispatch Center for the Incident depending on your local policy. Do not use Acronyms or 3 letter/4 letter codes. Type the full name of the unit for example “Puget Sound Interagency Dispatch Center.” NES presentation by Julie Stewart j5stewar@blm.gov 8/9/2013

NES presentation by Julie Stewart j5stewar@blm.gov 8/9/2013 26. Type in the GACC or Dispatch Center Phone number – This will be published in the TFR NOTAM. This must be a 24 hour a day contact number as per the FAA. Do not use 1-800 phone numbers. Use the FAA format with dashes. NES presentation by Julie Stewart j5stewar@blm.gov 8/9/2013

NES presentation by Julie Stewart j5stewar@blm.gov 8/9/2013 Frequency 27. Type in the Air to Air Frequency. You may use your Initial Attack Frequency since there have been noted delays in receiving a TFR frequency. You can always change the TFR when you receive the new frequency but suggest you do not change it in the middle of a shift. Work with the AOBD and change the frequency at the end of the day or in the early morning. NOTE – if your TFR exceeds 20 NMs, please contact either the Incident or GACC Communication officer as there may be some issues that need to be worked out with the FAA. Ask the Commo Unit Leader for the CENTER POINT of the frequency – you will need this to figure out if your TFR has exceeded the geographical area of the frequency. 28. Why is it optional? Because some TFRs for other disasters such as hurricanes, tornado’s, etc may not have an established air to air frequency. NES presentation by Julie Stewart j5stewar@blm.gov 8/9/2013
