Operational Need

There is a growing need for digitally-structured NOTAM information to support modern, integrated flight information and briefing systems. Geospatial NOTAMs enable the automated interpretation and visualization of operational conditions notified within the aeronautical environment, ensuring common situational awareness and improving decision-making both during pre-flight preparation and in-flight operations. By providing machine-readable data that can be overlaid on aeronautical maps and other operational layers, geospatial NOTAMs facilitate the timely identification of infrastructure and airspace impacts, enhance safety, and support advanced applications such as trajectory-based operations, dynamic airspace management, and digital briefing solutions (e.g., ePIB and SWIM-enabled services).
