Airport Operational Note
An Operational Note is a piece of textual information that is intended for Airport users, and that cannot be otherwise modelled digitally.
Scenarios that should be entered as Operational Notes include occurrences such as potential delays, special events, parking restrictions, etc.
To facilitate the filtering of Operational Notes in client systems, some machine-readable properties are included.
Airport Operational Notes should not be used for temporary airport closures, runways closures, or any other information that can be modeled in Availability or any other part of the data model.
Property
Type
Description
validFrom
string
An ISO 8601 formatted date-time string that indicates when the Operational Note is first in force. This is expressed in Local Time.
For example 2020-01-30T08:00:00
.
validTo
string
An ISO 8601 formatted date-time string that indicates when the Operational Note ceases to be in force. This is expressed in Local Time.
For example 2020-02-02T18:59:59
criticality
string
A string indicating the level of criticality of the Operational Note. Possible values are:
INFORMATION_ONLY
for information that have no operational impact. Knowledge is considered relevant to make the operations smoother, but no operational impact arises from not knowing of it. For example: JET-A1 pressurized refuelling not available. Only overwing refuelling possible.OPERATIONALLY_RELEVANT
for information that may have an operational impact, but is not critical. Not knowing such information will likely have a minor operational impact in the form of delays or inconvenient to the crew or passengers. The flight can still take place under all circumstances. For example: Parking stands in front of the FBO are closed due to Work In Progress. Only remote stands available with a car transfer to the FBO.OPERATIONALLY_CRITICAL
for information that is relevant and critical. Not knowing will likely have a major operational impact up to refusal of service. Performance of a flight might not be possible in all conditions. For example: ILS CAT I inoperative, or JET-A1 fuel not available.
