AviNOTAM

Read full description

AviNOTAM turns raw NOTAM text into something you can actually read and shows you where it applies. Enter an ICAO code and get the current NOTAMs for that aerodrome, decoded: the plain-language meaning of the Q-code, validity in UTC, active schedules and altitude bands. Anything with a defined area is drawn straight onto an aviation chart, so "circle 5NM radius centred on 375412N 0234356E" becomes a shape you can see.

Saved routes can be shared as GPX files for use in navigation apps that support GPX, such as OsmAnd. Sharing happens only when you choose it through the iOS share sheet. After the trial, the base app and Route Map are two separate one-time purchases. To use Route Map, the base app must also be unlocked.
