Changing Your View of NOTAMs

Notice to Airmen, NOTAMs, are difficult to find, hard to read, and very time consuming, even for the experienced pilot. When including a departure airport, takeoff alternate, destination airport, primary and secondary alternates, it is not uncommon for a dispatch release or DUATS flight briefing to include over 200 NOTAMs, all listed as separate line items. We have found a solution to this issue…

AeroNavData has made it possible to decode NOTAMs into a simple to understand, intuitive graphic image.

While there are various tools available that convert the standard format to plain text, they still do not create the same effect as a visualization. With our unique capabilities, database, and skill set at AeroNavData we have solved this problem by performing a prototype proof of concept for NOTAM Visualization .

By seeing NOTAMs rather than reading NOTAMs, pilots will be able to understand much more information instantaneously.
