After a NOTAM is issued regarding an airfield problem, what must occur next?

Once a NOTAM (Notice to Airmen) is issued regarding an airfield problem, it is imperative that a work order needs to be placed. This is because the NOTAM is typically used to inform relevant stakeholders about temporary changes or hazards that may affect operations at the airfield. By placing a work order, the necessary corrective actions and maintenance can be scheduled and executed to resolve the issue identified in the NOTAM.

This action is crucial for ensuring that the safety and operational integrity of the airport are maintained, and it allows personnel to take appropriate steps to rectify the situation promptly. Other related processes, such as investigations or public announcements, may follow or be a part of a broader response strategy, but initiating a work order is the first concrete step directly tied to resolving the airfield problem as signaled by the NOTAM.
