Key Takeaways:

  • Jeppesen ForeFlight's ClearNOTAMs simplifies pre-flight information gathering by decoding complex, abbreviated Notices to Airmen (NOTAMs) into clear, concise plain English summaries.
  • The AI-powered system provides an accurate translation of each NOTAM's operational impact, with automated cross-checks and the option for pilots to view the original coded text for verification.
  • The app enhances usability with customizable filters (e.g., airport, airspace), sorting by relevance, and features to pin or collapse specific NOTAMs, making information management more efficient.
  • ClearNOTAMs will offer a three-month complimentary trial for individual ForeFlight users, after which it will be exclusively available with ForeFlight's Premium and specific business/military subscription plans.

One of the most challenging parts of being a pilot is gathering “all available information before a flight” as required by regulation.

This is especially true when it comes to sifting through information dispersed in the form of Notices to Airmen (NOTAMs). Jeppesen ForeFlight is trying to make obtaining and understanding the information easier with ClearNOTAMs, an app that takes the raw NOTAMs, delivered in all capital letters and abbreviations, and decodes them to allow a pilot to sort them by relevance to the flight.
