Aeronautical Information Management Department

International NOTAM office (NOF)

The information service is provided based on the following ICAO documents:

• Annex 15 Aeronautical Information Services;
• Doc 10066 Aeronautical Information Management;
• Doc 8126 Aeronautical Information Services Manual.

AIM department is responsible for a collection and dissemination of information for the entire territory and airspace of the Republic of Kazakhstan and for the airspace over the high sea.

Aeronautical information is provided in the form of aeronautical information products and associated services:

• Aeronautical Information Publication (AIP), including amendments and supplements;
• Aeronautical Information Circulars (AIC);
• Aeronautical charts;
• NOTAM including monthly checklist and “trigger” NOTAM;
• SNOWTAMs
• Pre-flight information bulletins (PIB);
• Digital data sets.

AIP Supplements (AIP SUP) contain information of a temporary nature. Generally they deal with:

• Publications valid for 3 months or more;
• Publications containing charts or with an extensive text, even if valid for less than 3 months.

Operationally significant AIP supplements are published in accordance with the AIRAC system and they are identified as AIRAC AIP SUP.

Each AIP Supplement (regular or AIRAC) is allocated a serial number which is consecutive and based on the calendar year, i.e. AIP SUP 001/2019, AIRAC AIP SUP 002/2019.

Valid supplements are available on Kazaeronavigatsia’s website www.ans.kz.

NOTAM contains the information concerning the establishment, condition or change in any aeronautical facility, service, procedure or hazard, the timely knowledge of which is essential for personnel concerned with flight operations.

If the scope of NOTAM activities regards more than one FIR, NOTAM is issued in series N and K. Trigger NOTAM is published only in series K and N as well.

NOF issues NOTAMs:

• Series A, C and K using NOTAM service of European AIS Database (INO EAD);
• Series B, D and N using NOTAM service of automated system (AS NOTAM).

NOTAMs are distributed by aeronautical fixed telecommunication network (AFTN) and Internet. Upon prior request, AFTN address may be included in the distribution list to receive all issued NOTAM. Briefing units provide a selective distribution of NOTAMs by providing Pre-flight Information Bulletins (PIB).

Pre flight information bulletins (PIB) contain a summary of current NOTAM and other information of an urgent nature and of significance to the operator/flight crews. They are available at the Briefing units in English and Russian languages.

SNОWТАМ is a special series NOTAM given in a standard format providing a surface condition report notifying the presence or cessation of hazardous conditions due to snow, ice, slush, frost, standing water or water associated with snow, slush, ice or frost on the movement area.

The following aeronautical information is provided free of charge via Internet: AIP (including aeronautical charts), AIP AMDT, AIP SUP, AIC, data sets, electronic version of Aeronautical Chart - ICAO 1:500 000.

The following aeronautical information is provided free of charge via AFTN: NOTAMs, SNOWTAMs, checklists of valid NOTAM and “trigger” NOTAM.

AIP of Kazakhstan is available on the website – www.ans.kz in downloadable form, and via EAD web service.

Access to eAIP on the website is free of charge and no user login or subscription is required.

AIP amendment and, if possible, AIP supplement are provided according to the AIRAC system.

Aeronautical information regulation and control (AIRAC) system is based upon a series of common effective dates at intervals of 28 days and information provided does not change within this period.

Provided under the AIRAC system information is published at least 42 days in advance of the effective date (major changes - 56 days).

“Trigger” NOTAM is distributed not later than one cycle before the AIRAC effective date concerned and contains a brief description of the contents, the effective date and the reference number of the amendment or supplement. It comes into force at the same time with the amendment or supplement and remains valid for fourteen days. NIL notification is indicated in “trigger” NOTAM when information has not been submitted to the AIRAC date.

A NIL notification to announce that an AIP amendment will not be published at the established interval or publication date is distributed by NOTAM checklist at least 28 days before the AIRAC effective date.

The table below indicates AIRAC effective dates for coming years.
