1. State publishes NOTAM2. Eurocontrol plots it in EVITA

EVITA OPS: NOTAM declaring Danger Areas

1. State uses EVITA to determine coordinates

2. Coordinates published in NOTAM and EVITA

EVITA – Future developments• Ash concentration data, Danger Areas (NOTAM)

– Display data received, at the frequency received

• Features

– Dynamic (e.g. zooming, overlays with airspaces, a/d, etc.)

– Static (e.g. snap shot of the tailor made chart, etc.)

• General

• AO specific

– Which of my flights are impacted? By which ash

concentration & for how long?

– Archive
