Briefing Sheet Submissions

Briefing Sheets can be used when a temporary change considered operationally significant is submitted to AIS containing extensive text or graphics but there is insufficient time to publish an AIRAC AIP Supplement or an AIC and a NOTAM is issued promptly to inform users about the changes. This NOTAM shall point to the Briefing Sheet which contains the full text and graphics detailing the temporary change. For more information see CAP 1054.  

A list of current Briefing Sheets can be found here:

Layout of the Briefing Sheet

The content of a Briefing Sheet is not managed by AIS and not stored as a database feature. The sponsor must provide the Briefing Sheet in accordance with the templates provided, including any graphics.

Information Flow

Completed Briefing Sheets shall be provided to AIS via a change Request (CR) in the Aurora Portal and will be processed during office hours Mon – Fri 08:00 – 16:00.

AIS will assign a unique reference number to the Briefing Sheet and will provide the sponsor with a web link to the document which can be used for reference within the NOTAM. 

The sponsor is responsible for raising the NOTAM using their normal proposal method.

Confirmation of NOTAM Issued 

The authorised source shall, following the publication of a NOTAM that it has originated, review its content to ensure its accuracy and raise any potential issues with the NOF.
