b. DATA NOT NORMALLY PUBLISHED
(1) Any condition which is expected to remain in effect for less than 60 days (30 days for
Europe). This includes: Presence or removal of hazardous conditions due to snow, ice, water or
temporary obstructions on or adjacent to the landing area; remarks such as "runway slippery
when wet", "do not use runway or taxiway", etc.
(2) Data regarding IFR arrival and departure procedures.
(3) Temporary shortages of certain types of fuel, starting equipment or other aircraft services.
(4) Data regarding closures or restrictions at stations due to air shows, close proximity to
athletic events, etc.
(5) Data regarding availability of box lunches, hotel reservations, government transportation,
billeting, VIP arrivals, etc.
(6) Instructions as to how to fly the VFR traffic pattern.
27 COMMUNICATIONS - consists of radio communications (call signs and frequencies)
available. Applicable remarks follow appropriate entry.
28 FREQUENCIES - are listed in ascending order in groups following the call sign, e.g.,
LF/MF, VHF, UHF, HF (any suffix frequencies come last). The primary frequency (when known) will
be listed first followed by the secondary. HF frequencies are AM unless otherwise indicated.
29 NAVAIDS - consists of radio aids to navigation which have the same name as the radio
facility and/or airport, and different name radio aids to navigation which are located on the
airport or are used to furnish final approach guidance on a published DoD instrument approach
procedure (high or low) serving the airport. NAVAIDS “At Fld” are located less than 1 NM from
the Airport Reference Point. When Bearing and Distance to Fld is used, it represents the
magnetic bearing and nautical mile distance from the NAVAID to geographical coordinates
shown in Item 8. Where VOR Test Facilities (VOT) are located, the designation VOT and
frequency will follow the title "NAVAIDS". For stand-alone NAVAIDS in the continental U.S.,
"bearing and distance" may reference an airfield in the IFR-S or the VFR-S.
