The virgule ( / ) is used in the NOTAM text to

• A. indicate the word or
• B. indicate a pause
• C. separate runway pairs
• D. indicate the word until

Answer: (C)

In NOTAM text, the virgule (/) is used to separate runway designators that belong to the same runway pair at an aerodrome. The slash shows that the condition or status applies to both directions of that runway pair, not just one direction. For example, RWY 04/22 indicates that both the 04 and the 22 directions share the same NOTAM. It’s not about pausing or separating words; its function is to group paired runways under one notification.
