What is the record maintenance requirement for Airport Conditions (NOTAMS)?

The record maintenance requirement for Airport Conditions, as indicated in the NOTAM system, is to keep these records for a minimum of 12 months (12 CCM). This duration reflects the need for consistent documentation of significant airport conditions, which can impact safety, operations, and regulatory compliance.

Keeping records for 12 months allows airport operators to analyze various conditions over a longer period, offering insights into trends, recurring issues, or seasonal variations that may affect airport operations. This timeframe is essential for ensuring that data is consistently available for review by internal stakeholders, regulatory bodies, and in situations where historical information is necessary for decision-making or operational adjustments.

Other options, which suggest shorter or no maintenance requirements, do not align with the established industry standards and regulations set forth for maintaining critical airport operational information in the NOTAM system. Proper documentation and adherence to these requirements uphold safety and efficiency in airport operations.
