Andrew Hall has created a Java application which maps all UK Notams, making planning cross country hang glider and paraglider flights in Britain much easier.
Notam Map uses Preflight Information Bulletins (PIBs) published by the UK Aeronautical Information Service of the National Air Traffic Service (NATS) and presents them in a user-friendly way.
The software is available free (presently) to all, and can be downloaded from the Notam Map website. The expiry date on the trial software is primarily to ensure users regularly dowload the latest version, as the project is not yet compete and the software is being frequently revised.
Andrew has added the following disclaimer: “While every effort has been made to produce a quality product, this application is provided with absolutely no guarantees either to the accuracy, completeness or presentation of the data supplied. Notam Map is not approved or recognised by NATS and should not be used as the primary means of obtaining pre-flight information for flight planning purposes.”
