Revamped U.S. Notam Format Delayed At Least One Year
Agency gave no reason for the delay in aligning format with ICAO standards

The December 2024 target date for the U.S. to align its notam format with ICAO international standards has been delayed by at least one year, missing both the FAA’s schedule and a congressional deadline. “We are in the process of making changes and plan on implementing the ICAO notam format late next year,” the FAA told AIN.

According to the agency, the updated format will improve accuracy and accessibility of notam data for pilots, dispatchers, and other notam consumers; provide notam consumers with one consistent format for domestic and international operations; and allow for enhanced search, sorting, filtering, and archiving capabilities of notam data.
