NOTAMs are special messages for pilots alerting them to airspace changes that may impact their flights. They have also been identified as a top operational safety risk due to the sheer volume of NOTAMs — on any given day, there are some 35,000 active NOTAMs circulating globally.
In response to this, NAV CANADA has developed a NOTAM Strategy focused on reducing the volume of NOTAMs and the risk of safety-critical information being missed.
As part of this strategy, the Company will focus on streamlining our use of NOTAMs, making sure they are clear and concise, and improving the commonality of practices and output in each of our flight information regions (FIR).
