AeroNOTAM gives you easy and fast access to NOTAMs worldwide. It features offline data-management, multiple list views, map view, notifications, and filters. You can bookmark NOTAMs for later reference and share them by mail, message, or social media sites. NOTAMs are organized as routes either by flightpath (arrival/departure airport), an airport with radius, a simple list of your most used airports, or by swiping on the map and defining a radius. Appropriate FIRs will be added automatically. Optionally airport NOTAMs can be shown in local time. AeroNOTAM supports also background refresh, which (when enabled) fetches new NOTAMs automatically in background. You can define alerts (push notifications) for airports and FIRs to be notified (between 1 and 48) hours in advance before a NOTAM becomes effective. Data access after 14-days free trial period is available thru (non auto-renewable) 2-months subscriptions. Data is provided by US FAA which covers a lot of airports, however, they might not provide data for smaller airfields or local NOTAM series outside the US. Please note: AeroNOTAM will be shut down in 2026 and most functionality will be integrated into AeroWeather Pro.
