The following changes are required to align the order
with current operational procedures. These changes
also support the standardized use of FAA Form
7233-4, International Flight Plan, and inform
stakeholders that legacy procedures may be used by
parties that do not have the necessary equipment to
adhere to the new ICAO forms and or procedures.

GPS NOTAM and receiver autonomous integrity
monitoring (RAIM) information is currently located
in the overview section of the AIM/AIP. This change
consolidates all of the NOTAM information into one
procedures section and updates current NOTAM
language. This update references how to report GPS
anomalies, as well as edits two tables with example
NOTAMS on GPS testing and pseudo-random
satellite numbers.

planning information being updated to reflect the two
temperature limitations that may be found on an FAA
produced instrument approach procedure (IAP). The
new paragraph also directs operators to Chapter 7 to
review the information on cold temperature altimetry
errors and current procedures for CTA and
baro-VNAV temperature limitations.
i. 5-2-7. DEPARTURE RESTRICTIONS,

RELEASE, AND RELEASE TIMES
A recent change to FAA Order JO 7110.65 requires
that ATC give a pilot departing from an airport
without an operating control tower a departure
release, a hold for release, or a release time when
issuing the departure clearance. This AIM change
reflects the change made to FAA Order JO 7110.65
and clarifies pilot and controller responsibilities.

This change adds a statement that diverse vector areas

instrument departure (SID) when the SID is included
as part of the instrument flight rules (IFR) clearance,
and addresses a new requirement imposed on ATC
that pilots will receive an amended clearance if
departure procedures are changed from SIDs to
DVAs and vice versa.
