WHAT IS NOTAM?
NOTAM (Notice to Airman) is a warning broadcast to inform officers of flight operation, the existence of any work, service, method, or hazard, and any change in weather.
Before each flight, pilots receive notices, i.e. NOTAMs, which have been posted about the route and airport to which they will travel from information offices or dispatchers, they will work on the restrictive sections of the roads and will have an idea of which areas are restricted. However, the main task here falls on the air traffic controllers.
Before starting work, air traffic controllers examine the area information with NOTAMs published for that day, which refers to their areas of responsibility, and they plan in advance how they will manage traffic based on this information.
