NAS Common Reference (NCR)

Login

NCR is a NAS Program that provides SWIM Services for parsing, storing and correlating NAS Data.

The NAS Common Reference (NCR) Service integrates information, such as current and predicted NAS status and constraint data including aeronautical information, weather, and Traffic Management Initiatives (TMIs), from disparate sources and correlates it in terms of spatial and temporal relationships. Information consumers can access filtered subsets of any of the published information with a single request to NCR’s agile, application-level interface. In lieu of developing their own publication services, information producers (a.k.a. authoritative sources) can publish their information via NCR, thus re-using its functionality instead of duplicating it.

Datasets

This service has the following datasets available:
  • NCR Subscription Service - Allows users to create and manage NCR Subscriptions

    Each Service Consumer must demonstrate the Service Consumer’s ability to limit the display of or distribution (i.e., block) the aircraft from their systems.  Except under the direction of the aircraft owner or operator, no data (to include historical data) may be displayed or distributed for any aircraft registration or call sign while the aircraft registration or call sign is listed on the FAA Limiting Aircraft Data Displayed (LADD) program list.  If the aircraft registration or call sign is later removed from the LADD list, a Service Consumer is no longer required to limit the data display for the aircraft registration or call sign.  Historical data for the aircraft or call sign must be limited for time listed for LADD.

     

    Various FAA Services include real time and recent positon and other relevant flight data associated with civil instrument fight rules (IFR) aircraft.   While commercial operators conduct business according to a published listing of service and schedule, general aviation operators and on-demand air charter aircraft operating under 14 CFR part 135 (“on-demand aircraft”) do not.  It is possible that knowledge of certain general aviation and on-demand aircraft operators could compromise the security of individuals or property.  Accordingly, general aviation aircraft identification numbers must be excluded from Services that provide real time positon and other relevant flight data at all times while the aircraft registration or call sign is listed on the LADD list.  Further, even after an aircraft is no longer on the LADD list, any historical data for the aircraft produced while the aircraft was listed on the LADD list must remain protected.

     

    All Service Consumers (as a condition of signing the FAA Terms of Service) and Indirect Consumers (as a condition of signing an agreement with a Service Consumer) must block any general aviation aircraft and on–demand aircraft registration numbers, call signs, or flight numbers included on the FAA-provided Limiting Aircraft Data Displayed (i.e., block) list.  If the FAA determines that any Direct or Indirect Consumer develops or markets products that violate this provision, the FAA may suspend or stop Services per Terms of Service (TOS) Section “Using our Services.”

     

    The LADD list represents those private aircraft owners or operators who have requested the limiting of their aircraft flight data from any public dissemination or display while operating within the United States controlled airspace.

     

    The FAA LADD list is made available on the first Thursday of each month.  Service Consumers must access the electronic list of aircraft participating in the Limiting Aircraft Display program via the NAS Aeronautical Data Exchange (ADX) portal at: https://adx.faa.gov and download the “IndustryLADD” list.  Both Service Consumers and Indirect Consumers must update their respective systems within FIVE business days of this monthly publication of the updated LADD list.

We may add or remove functionalities or features, and we may suspend or stop a Service altogether.  We may suspend or stop a Service for cause without any notice.  If we are suspending or stopping a Service without cause, we will notify the Service Consumer’s primary point of contact for each account.  You can stop using our Services upon appropriately notifying us by selecting to stop service through the agreement portal.  

    We may change or add to these terms or any additional terms that apply to a Service to, for example, reflect changes to the law or changes to our Services.  The Service Consumer primary point of contact on each account will receive an email notification of these changes and a copy of the modified or additional terms.  Your continued use of our Services once notification has been sent signifies your acceptance of these changes.  You should look at the terms regularly.  If at any point you no longer agree with these terms, it is your responsibility to cease use of the Services and immediately notify us of your rejection of the terms and intent to no longer use the Services by selecting to stop service at the agreement portal. If you do not comply with these terms, and we do not take action right away, this does not mean we are giving up any rights that we may have (such as taking action in the future).  If a particular term is not enforceable, such unenforceability will not affect any other terms.

    Indirect/Secondary Consumer- Any consumer who receives FAA data indirectly through a Service Consumer.

    Service Description Document – An overarching document for each Service that includes the necessary technical information to establish an interface with the FAA and any additional relevant terms.

    Using our Services

    You must follow any policies made available to you within the Service Description Document.  Do not misuse our Services. For example, do not interfere with our Services or try to access them using a method other than the interface and the instructions that we provide. You may use our Services only as permitted by law, including applicable export and re-export control laws and regulations. We may suspend or stop providing our Services to you without any prior notification if you do not comply with our terms or if we are investigating suspected misconduct.

    Using our Services does not give you ownership of any data rights. Do not remove, obscure, or alter any legal notices displayed in or along with our Services. In connection with your use of the Services, we may send you (the Service Consumer) announcements, administrative messages, and other information.

    We are providing you our Services in accordance with the HR 302 FAA Reauthorization Act of 2018: Section 566: RIGHT TO PRIVACY WHEN USING AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL SYSTEM[1].   If you wish to redistribute any information gained through this Service, you may not characterize it as FAA data.

    If you choose to use additional Services from us, you must review and accept an additional agreement for each Service.  Any additional terms applicable to different Services can be found in section 4.5 of the relevant Service Description Document.

    Service Consumer

    Privacy Policies

    Our privacy policies explain how we treat your data and protect your privacy when you use our Services. By using our Services, you agree that we can use such data in accordance with our privacy policies, including but not limited to FAA Order 1370.121 - FAA Information Security and Privacy Program & Policy:

     

    https://www.faa.gov/regulations_policies/orders_notices/index.cfm/go/document.information/documentID/1030708

     

    Each Service Consumer must demonstrate the Service Consumer’s ability to limit the display of or distribution (i.e., block) the aircraft from their systems.  Except under the direction of the aircraft owner or operator, no data (to include historical data) may be displayed or distributed for any aircraft registration or call sign while the aircraft registration or call sign is listed on the FAA Limiting Aircraft Data Displayed (LADD) program list.  If the aircraft registration or call sign is later removed from the LADD list, a Service Consumer is no longer required to limit the data display for the aircraft registration or call sign.  Historical data for the aircraft or call sign must be limited for time listed for LADD.

     

    Various FAA Services include real time and recent positon and other relevant flight data associated with civil instrument fight rules (IFR) aircraft.   While commercial operators conduct business according to a published listing of service and schedule, general aviation operators and on-demand air charter aircraft operating under 14 CFR part 135 (“on-demand aircraft”) do not.  It is possible that knowledge of certain general aviation and on-demand aircraft operators could compromise the security of individuals or property.  Accordingly, general aviation aircraft identification numbers must be excluded from Services that provide real time positon and other relevant flight data at all times while the aircraft registration or call sign is listed on the LADD list.  Further, even after an aircraft is no longer on the LADD list, any historical data for the aircraft produced while the aircraft was listed on the LADD list must remain protected.

     

    All Service Consumers (as a condition of signing the FAA Terms of Service) and Indirect Consumers (as a condition of signing an agreement with a Service Consumer) must block any general aviation aircraft and on–demand aircraft registration numbers, call signs, or flight numbers included on the FAA-provided Limiting Aircraft Data Displayed (i.e., block) list.  If the FAA determines that any Direct or Indirect Consumer develops or markets products that violate this provision, the FAA may suspend or stop Services per Terms of Service (TOS) Section “Using our Services.”

     

    The LADD list represents those private aircraft owners or operators who have requested the limiting of their aircraft flight data from any public dissemination or display while operating within the United States controlled airspace.

     

    The FAA LADD list is made available on the first Thursday of each month.  Service Consumers must access the electronic list of aircraft participating in the Limiting Aircraft Display program via the NAS Aeronautical Data Exchange (ADX) portal at: https://adx.faa.gov and download the “IndustryLADD” list.  Both Service Consumers and Indirect Consumers must update their respective systems within FIVE business days of this monthly publication of the updated LADD list.

     

    For questions regarding this appendix or requesting access to the ADX SCBlockAtIndustry Collaboration Community portal, contact LADD program office at (202) 267-0346 or LADD@faa.gov.
