Shortly after the EAA AirVenture show in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, Jeppesen ForeFlight will release ClearNotams, an AI-powered translation of notams that makes them easier to interpret while preserving the raw language for verification and confirmation purposes. In another effort to tap into AI tools, Jeppesen ForeFlight has released ForeFlight AI Connector, a way for users to connect ChatGPT to ForeFlight for AI-assisted flight planning, and also part of ForeFlight’s new AI platform, called Airflow. Another new Jeppesen ForeFlight release is Scheduler, designed to help flight schools and independent instructors manage their businesses.

Making Notams Clearer

“Notams…the system as a whole has been sort of the butt of jokes for pilots for decades,” said Sam Taylor, senior product marketing manager, general aviation, “where it’s like, ‘did you read every single notam for that flight, all 300 of them?’ Notams are something that pilots have been frustrated with, and it’s annoying to try to brief all of these things when they look like they’re in this teletype font that was implemented back in the 1950s. We have tried to rectify that situation to the extent that we’re able with a capability that we’re calling ClearNotams.”
