Jeppesen recently began delivering Multiple Approach Indicator Procedures to our customers. A Multiple Approach Indicator Procedure is one which has a special designator such as a Y or Z in the approach title; for example, RNAV (GPS) Z Rwy 22. However, not all avionics equipment is able to accept these added procedures. If your avionics equipment cannot handle a Multiple Approach Indicator, it will usually contain one of the procedures without the Multiple Approach Indicator; for example, RNAV 22.

In most cases the first procedure will be contained in your database when A, B, C or 1, 2,3 designators are used. When the  X, Y, Z designators are used, the last procedure will normally be contained in your database. The Z procedure will normally be contained in your database. However, in cases where an RNAV (RNP) or an RNAV (GPS) procedure with 'LPV only' minimums is designated as the Z procedure, we will include the Y, X, etc. procedure in your database.

In accordance with ARINC 424 documentation, Jeppesen will begin providing runway gradient data for runway (PG) records as documented in ARINC Specification 424, Section 5.212. This document serves as the contractually required advanced notification for implementation of the new coding rules and practices scheduled for implementation in AIRAC cycle 0907, effective date 02 July 2009.

If you want to receive runway gradients in the Runway record, please evaluate your systems to determine the impact of these changes. Make the appropriate adjustments to accept this new information by AIRAC cycle 0907, effective2 July 2009,and contact your Jeppesen Business Representative.

NavData Notices are intended for Jeppesen's Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) Customers only.  End Users of the data may contact their Avionics Providers with questions on the availability of data in their specific units.  If you want to receive runway gradients, please contact your Jeppesen Business Representative. If you have Technical questions about this notice, please contact Jeppesen NavData Technical Support at phone (USA) 303-328-4445 or e-mail navdatatechsupport@jeppesen.com.

GENERAL
The purpose of this bulletin is to convey to our valued customers our current policy regarding the applications of
chart and database changes based on state issued NOTAMs. The following is a summary of that policy and is
specific to the processing of state issued NOTAMs only.

BACKGROUND
The “Notice to Airmen” (NOTAM) has been an integral part of the system for disseminating critical aeronautical
information world wide for a very long time. Typically, NOTAMs publicize aeronautical information that is timecritical
as well as temporary in nature. NOTAMs are also used when the information is not known sufficiently in
advance to allow for chart publication and/or database extraction.

NOTAMs communicate aeronautical information that has a direct impact on a pilot’s flight preparation. It is for
this reason that all pilots are required by regulation to review all available NOTAMs applicable to their particular
flight. The following policy regarding the application of NOTAM information to Jeppesen products is based on
that fundamental principal.

NOTAM POLICY
All Permanent or “P” NOTAMs are analyzed when received and applied to the Jeppesen charts and/or database
as appropriate, based on normal Jeppesen workflow and process criteria.

Temporary NOTAMs published without an active duration, or those published with an active duration of 90 days
or less, are not analyzed for possible application due to their short life span and volatility. It would be part of a
pilot’s normal flight preparation to familiarize themselves with this type of NOTAM.

Temporary NOTAMs published with an active duration of more than 90 days will be analyzed and may be applied
to the charts and/or database after considering its complexity as well as other factors. Not all temporary NOTAMs
with an active duration of more than 90 days are applied to the charts and/or database. The decision regarding
when to apply a temporary NOTAM to the charts and/or database is based on a wide range of factors, and is
done on a case by case basis. Again, based on a normal pre flight process, pilots would access these NOTAMs
prior to flight.

NOTE: Jeppesen scans all Temporary NOTAMs upon receipt to assess a basic level of impact. Special consideration
is given to Temporary NOTAMs that have a direct effect on permanent source documents.

We continue striving to supply you, our valued customers, with highly accurate, on time flight information. The
above policy helps us meet that lofty goal. We look forward to fulfilling your aeronautical charting and database
needs now and in the future.
