INTERNATIONAL NOTAM (Q) CODES

This appendix is to be used to interpret the contents of coded international NOTAM's. a. A NOTAM code group contains five letters. The first letter is always the letter "Q'' to indicate a code abbreviation for use in the composition of NOTAM's. b. The second and third letters identify the subject being reported. (See Second and Third Letter Decode Tables). c. The fourth and fifth letters identify the status of operation of the subject being reported. (See Fourth and Fifth Letter Decode Tables).
