Free NOTAM search

NOTAMs, decoded into plain English.

Type any airport or FIR code and read its current NOTAMs the way a pilot reads them: a headline per notice, the validity window in UTC, and the raw text kept verbatim underneath. No account, free, from the same feed the Pilot EFB app uses.

  • Plain-English headline decoded from the Q-code, runway and taxiway designators included.
  • Active now, scheduled or expired at a glance, with the validity window in UTC.
  • Raw text kept verbatim under every notice, exactly as published.

How a NOTAM gets decoded

  1. Fetched from the feed

    Your code goes to the Pilot EFB service, which serves the FAA NOTAM Management System feed for that airport or FIR. Results show when they were fetched.

  2. Decoded, not paraphrased

    The Q-code gives the subject and condition; the E) text gives the runway or taxiway it names. Together they become one headline. The raw notice stays underneath, unaltered.

  3. Sorted by when it matters

    Active notices first, then scheduled, then expired, each with its B) and C) window in UTC. Filter by status, category or any word in the text.

The decoder on this page is the app's. What is padlocked here is everything it does with a whole flight's worth of notices, on your phone, offline-first.

  • Route brief

    Departure, destination, alternates and the FIRs between them, fetched as one list.

  • What changed since your last look

    New and amended notices flagged on every refresh, with 30 days of history per airport.

  • Alerts for watched airports

    A notification when a critical or high-priority notice lands on a field you watch.

  • Map and airfield diagram

    The closed runway drawn on the field, hazards pinned on the map with their radius.

  • Declared distances

    TORA, TODA, ASDA and LDA read out of the notice text into one panel.

  • Keyword highlights and Focus

    Your own keywords lit up, read notices ticked off, low-priority noise held back.

  • Offline-first, saved to the flight

    The last fetch stays readable without a connection and files into the Flight Folder.

  • Priority scoring and schedules

    Notices ranked by what matters first, and D-item schedules drawn on a 24-hour strip.

Questions pilots ask

Is the NOTAM search free?

Yes. Type any four-letter ICAO code on this page and read that station's NOTAMs, decoded, with no account. Lookups are rate-limited to keep the feed healthy for everyone.

Where do the NOTAMs come from?

From the FAA NOTAM Management System feed, through the Pilot EFB service that the app itself reads. Each result shows when it was fetched.

What does "decoded" mean?

Every notice gets a plain-English headline built from its Q-code, subject and condition, with runway and taxiway designators pulled out of the text, and its validity window shown in UTC. The raw NOTAM is kept verbatim underneath, so nothing is paraphrased away.

Can I search a FIR as well as an airport?

Yes. FIR indicators such as EGTT (London) or KZWY (New York Oceanic) work in the same box and return the enroute notices filed against that region.

Can I use this as my pre-flight briefing?

No. It is a reference tool, not a briefing, and Pilot EFB is not a certified EFB. NOTAMs may be incomplete here; verify with your official briefing source before you fly.

What does the app add?

Route-based briefs, a diff of what changed since your last look, alerts for watched airports, a map and airfield diagram, declared distances, keyword highlighting and offline access to the last fetch.

May be incomplete - verify officially. Pilot EFB is not a certified EFB and this search is not a briefing.
