This is unofficial. It has been tested thoroughly but could contain errors. Moreover, there is no reliable free source of the raw Notam data. As such you may miss something important. Verify at http://www.ais.org.uk
Notams are available for the following FIRs: EGPX EGTT.
Because of the unreliability of the source and the mechanism for obtaining Notam data it is possible that the data may be correct for some FIR and not for others. Therefore, for each FIR used in your briefing you will see a line which tells you when the data was downloaded and its period of validity. Data is downloaded every 30 minutes, so should never be more than 30 minutes old.
Notams are available for a single location or for a route. Typically you might choose to use the single location briefing if you want to check Notams for a local area flight. A route briefing would be more appropriate for flying from A to B.
Whichever type of briefing you use, you are given the opportunity to filter the output. For example, you can choose to only see Notams applicable to VFR flight, those for a particular day and to filter by type. Once your filtering preferences are selected they will be used for each subsequent briefing (provided you have either logged in or use the same browser next time).
Notams can be overlayed on a Google Map. These are interactive maps which can be scrolled and zoomed. If you're getting a route briefing then your route will be displayed too. Note that Notams with a radius of over 250nm are not displayed on the maps. Click the small start in the centre of a Notam to see its text. Click the notam identifier anywhere it appears to see the full details of just that one notam. Text output should work on almost any browser, even on a mobile device, but maps will most likely not.
A display of Restricted Airspace (Temporary) [formerly TRA, now RA(T)] is also available, from a very simple address: http://fly.dsc.net/tra or for a graphical display http://fly.dsc.net/trag
New! You can also have new RA(T) (formerly TRA's) emailed to you as they become available. To do this you must register (a simple process of entering your email address and a password). Once you register the option to receive the emails will appear at the bottom of this page.
To get a briefing for a single location, go to the Search page, find the location you want (it can be an airfield or any other type of location) and then click the appropriate radius around that point for which you wish to see Notams. If your point is an airfield, you should note that the system will NOT show you only the airfield Notams - you'll see any that are available for that location. For example, if you ask for Notams for Cambridge Airfield, you'll see any Notams that cover all of England.
To get a route briefing, simply create the route on the Plan page. Once the route has been planned select the route width that you want to use and click the Notams button. If you register you can save your planned route and get up-to-date Notams for it at any time, straight from the home page with a single click. Note also that you can bookmark your briefings using your browser's bookmarks/favourites feature in order to easily get a new briefing.
The output is designed to be easy to scan. Types of Notam are grouped together. The subject is shown in bold above the text, so you can quickly read the nature of the specific notam and then decide whether it is something that concerns you.
