NOTAM
A NOTAM (officially meaning notice to air men, as used by the ICAO, FAA and the EASA; or notice to aviation (NOTAN), as used by the CAA; and also previously known as notice to air missions in the United States ) is a notice filed with an aviation authority to alert aircraft pilots of potential hazards along a flight route or at a location that could affect the flight. NOTAMs are notices or advisories that contain information concerning the establishment, conditions or change in any aeronautical facility, service, procedure or hazard, the timely knowledge of which may be essential to personnel and systems concerned with flight operations. NOTAMs are created and transmitted by government agencies and airport operators under guidelines specified by Annex 15: Aeronautical Information Services of the Convention on International Civil Aviation (CICA). A NOTAM is filed with an aviation authority to alert aircraft pilots of any hazards en route or at a specific location, or flight information region. The authority, in turn, provides a means of disseminating relevant NOTAMs to pilots.
