3. Ch 1 – Introduction - What is NES? The NOTAM Entry System (NES) is an FAA program designed to simplify and expedite the TFR request process. The NOTAM Entry System (NES) is an FAA program designed to simplify and expedite the TFR request process. It was created by the FAA to enable authorized users a method 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.

30. 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. “ 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)Low Frequency Radio RangeVHF omnidirectional rangeTACAN 30 NES Power point presentation by Julie_Stewart@blm.gov on 10/29/09

31. Know your NavAids 31 NES Power point presentation by Julie_Stewart@blm.gov on 10/29/09 NES suggests St George (OZN) Do not use even if it is the closest Nav Aid as it is a TVOR. (for further information, see Chapter 6)

It is a Terminal or Airport VOR often with limited range. Did you forget what a TVOR is? It is a Terminal or Airport VOR often with limited range. 93 NES Power point presentation by Julie_Stewart@blm.gov on 10/29/09

94. 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. 94 NES Power point presentation by Julie_Stewart@blm.gov on 10/29/09

95. Know your NavAids 95 NES Power point presentation by Julie_Stewart@blm.gov on 10/29/09 NES suggests St George (OZN) As the closest NavAid. Do not use – It is a TVOR – see next slide.

96. You can also check a Nav Aid Type at www.airnav.com 96 NES Power point presentation by Julie_Stewart@blm.gov on 10/29/09 Note under characteristics that it Says T-VORW/DME which means it Is a Terminal VOR associated with An airport and has no distance.

Care must be taken when using NES in Alaska to not use NDB’s. Often, NES will list NDBs that have Distance Measuring Equipment (DME) particularly in Alaska.

98. 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. 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) “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.

99. 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.
