My airline's ops manual and JAR Ops etc state that "Route specific NOTAM
documentation, if specifically edited by the operator" must be retained for a period of three months. Can anyone tell me where I can find a definition of route specific NOTAMs? We get a whole load of NOTAM information printed off automatically at the start of the flight duty. It includes the departure, destination, enroute, and multiple alternate aerodrome notams, for each sector. The company "policy" is to only retain the destination and first alternate NOTAM's at the end of the day, and throw away everything else. Of course this policy is not written down anywhere. The ops manual simply states to retain NOTAMS, full stop. I am wondering is this simply so they can store thousands of smaller envelopes, rather than thousands of larger ones. Does anyone know what the regulation actually means?
