Who is responsible for Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) action, if necessary?

The responsibility for Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) action typically lies with the Flight Service Station (FSS). The FSS plays a critical role in the dissemination and management of NOTAMs, ensuring that pilots and aviation stakeholders receive timely and accurate information regarding flight operations, airspace changes, or any potential hazards.

FSS personnel are trained to evaluate and process NOTAMs, making necessary updates and ensuring they are communicated effectively to the aviation community. This helps maintain safety and operational efficiency in aviation.

While other entities may have roles in the overall air traffic management system, such as ATC controlling the flow of air traffic or Airport Operations managing the day-to-day activities at an airport, the FSS is specifically designated to handle NOTAM actions.
