ESTIMATED (EST) |
|---|---|
| Meaning: | When used in NOTAMs "EST" is a contraction that is used by the issuing authority only when the condition is expected to return to service prior to the expiration time. Using "EST" lets the user know that this NOTAM has the possibility of returning to service earlier than the expiration time. Any NOTAM which includes an "EST" will be auto-expired at the designated expiration time. |
| Previous Term: | ESTIMATED ELAPSED TIME [ICAO] |
