Facility Classification
The facility status classification indicates the general performance of a facility as
determined from each flight inspection. The flight inspector will assign one of the
following classifications:
Unrestricted The facility meets established tolerances.
Restricted The facility does not meet established tolerances. The areas that do
not meet tolerances must be clearly defined as unusable in a NOTAM. The
ATCFO shall ensure that restricted areas (altitude, radials/bearings, and
mileages) are subsequently published in FLIP products.
Unusable The facility is unsafe or unreliable for navigation. A NOTAM must be
issued for the facility defining it as unusable.
