NotamPro Overview

NotamPro® is a PC program, especially written for pilots, that will download the latest NOTAMs from the Internet, decode any longitude/latitude co-ordinates and display them in an easy to interpret graphical form.

The main NotamPro screen is split into two side by side frames with a menu bar and tool bar at the top and a status bar at the bottom. Clicking on the Download button will display a selection of descriptions put in by the user to denote various web pages containing NOTAM information. Clicking on the button alongside an entry will download that NOTAM data and display it in the usual text format in the left frame. The right frame will display a map of your area and clearly show the location of each NOTAM with a red marker. Within moments it is possible to get a visual image of the NOTAMs that may conflict with your intended route and those which should be investigated in more detail. Clicking on any of the NOTAM markers will highlight the relevant text of the NOTAM in the left frame. Double clicking any of the markers will place a unique number alongside it and the relevant longitude/latitude within the NOTAM text making it easy to match the two together. Your whole route can be checked in less time than it would take to decode and locate the first NOTAM longitude/latitude on a map in the conventional way.

The default display shows the NOTAM text and map side by side. Each can be displayed as full screen at the click of a button. The map can be set to display the locations of a selection of towns/cities and airfields. Clicking anywhere on the map will move that location to the centre of the map frame. Using this method and by scrolling and zooming, specific areas may be examined in more detail.

Hard copies of the map and NOTAM details can be printed to enable you to take them with you on your flight.

NotamPro has been designed to reduce pilot workload by making the downloading and displaying of NOTAMs as easy as possible. Pilot awareness of potential hazards is improved by displaying the NOTAMs in a quick and easy to absorb visual format.
