WATRS PLUS FAA NAVIGATION CHART DISCREPANCIES

NOTAM A0367/08

Includes GRANN/KRAFT Clarifications

Effective immediately and until further notice

This NOTAM provides corrections to routes and waypoints published by the
United States Federal Aviation Administration to be effective 5 June
2008 in the New York Center Oceanic CTA/FIR (WATRS airspace) and the San
Juan CTA/FIR. The corrections are associated with WATRS Plus route
structure redesign.

A separate NOTAM providing corrections to waypoints and routes within
the Atlantic portion of the Miami Oceanic CTA will be published by Miami
Center.

For an e-mail version of this NOTAM please forward your request to:
Peter.C.Ehrlein@faa.gov.

Operators should be aware that the corrections provided in this NOTAM
also apply to NON-FAA commercial products. Operators should contact
their respective vendors for updates on their respective products.

Some commercial charts have identified WATRS Plus Transition Routes
Designators (e.g., TR-1, TR-2, etc.). Operators are not to file
Transition Route Designators. Operators are to follow the procedures
detailed in FAA New York Center NOTAM A0308/08 (9 May 08) during the
transition to the new WATRS Plus route structure on 5 June 2008. NOTAM
A0308/08 states that aircraft entering a WATRS Plus CTA at/after 0700Z
on 5 June 08 shall file direct between the stand-alone transition fixes.
See the NOTAM for the transition time schedule and procedures. It is
posted on the WATRS Plus Webpage.

Operators are encouraged to obtain current information on the WATRS PLUS
project at the following web site:
