NOTAMs, or Notices to Airmen, are the way pilots get the most current information about everything from airport conditions to navaids, from TFRs to GPS status, and from braking action to volcanoes. Important stuff, but to many pilots the NOTAM system is a bit of mystery. How do you find the stuff you need to know about without getting lost in stuff you don’t?
Let’s spend some time taking a closer look a the NOTAM system and explore the different kind of NOTAMs. Where do they come from and what are some of the best places to look for the ones you need to know about.
Come to a BBQ Lunch with a program on NOTAMs on Saturday, April 14, at the EAA Chapter 1541 hangar (Hangar S-12) at the Lincoln Regional Airport. Lunch starts at 11:00 ($6), the one hour program at 12:00.

In the course of running events for the chapter, we can always use volunteer help.
Right now we are in special need of a few individuals who want to help us cook our pancake breakfasts and BBQ lunches. It doesn’t take too much time on a Saturday morning or Wednesday evening to help, and the more people we have available to cook the easier it is on everyone.
We also hope to offer a pancake breakfast in conjunction with the LRAA display day starting in May, so we’ll need some more hands, and there’s ample time to practice!
For anyone who’s interested, we are cooking a BBQ lunch tomorrow, Saturday, after 11:00. If you want to see what is involved, come to the EAA hangar at about 10:00 or so as we start the food prep and fire up the BBQ.
