New NOTAM Search Features Now Available

Posted on by

To help pilots streamline their search for Notices to Airmen (NOTAMs) during flight planning, the FAA rolled out some new search features now available at http://notams.aim.faa.gov/notamSearch/. Among the new features is a “search by flight path” capability that allows pilots to see NOTAMS that apply only to the route they custom select using airports, navigational aids, named fixes, and/or route/airway designators to define a flight path. That flight path width can also be adjusted from one to 125 nautical miles on each side and NOTAMs for up to five alternate airports can also be included. The “search by free text” feature allows you to search for NOTAMs based on a keyword, airport designator, NOTAM number or scenario. Search results can also be custom sorted by location, number, class, start and end dates, and condition. Users can also export search results to a Microsoft Excel or Adobe PDF document. Additional enhancements to search capability are expected in the near future.

For more on how to use the search function, click the “help” button at the top right of the NOTAM Search home page to access a user’s guide. Feedback is also encouraged to help make improvements. Next to the help link is a feedback button where you can submit comments.

Don’t forget that tomorrow, Wednesday the 19th, is our monthly meeting. Most likely, it’ll be a short meeting, starting at 7pm, but come early if you wish to join us for dinner… due to the weather, it’ll most likely be pizza! This month’s meeting will again be at Tony’s hangar, facing the runway.

Also, don’t forget cash or check to reserve your seat(s) at next month’s Christmas Dinner! Look up Ken, Stan or Jack to get your tickets. They have tickets and sign up sheet to make your entree choice.

Thanks to their efforts, the fuel discount for Display Day weekend will be offered. Look for $4.79/gallon self-serve 100LL from Friday evening through Monday morning.

  4. Speaking of annuals, the Pietenpol is down for its annual, but that’s not important right now. But what is important is that our President (Richard, not that other guy), has a very exciting, surprise announcement to make at the membership meeting.
