Information About

Notam

NOTAMs are issued (and reported) for a number of reasons, such as:

hazards such as air-shows and parachute jumps

flights by important people such as heads of state

closed runways

inoperable radio navigational aids

military exercises with resulting airspace restrictions

inoperable lights on tall obstructions

temporary erection of obstacles near airfields (e.g. cranes)

Software is available to allow pilots to identify NOTAMs near their intended route or at the intended destination.
