When encountering a notum that affects operations, the appropriate action is to adjust operations according to the information provided. A notum typically contains important operational directives or changes, which are crucial for maintaining safety and efficiency within the airside environment. Recognizing and acting on this information ensures that all personnel can respond appropriately to changes that may impact their duties, the safety of operations, and the safety of others on the airside.

This proactive approach minimizes the risk of incidents or misunderstandings that could arise from ignoring or misinterpreting the notum. It fosters a culture of safety and responsiveness, which is essential in high-stakes environments like an airport.

While communicating with supervisors is important, simply informing the nearest supervisor without taking action does not adequately address the issue. Similarly, continuing with standard operations or disregarding the notum undermines the purpose of these notifications, which is to keep all personnel informed of critical operational factors. Therefore, adjusting operations based on the guidance provided in the notum is the most responsible and effective course of action.
