Graphical NOTAMs (not just TFRs)
Hi, I'm mostly a lurker, sometime poster on this forum and the other
rec.aviation forums. I've been a private pilot for almost two years now, and to support my flying habit I'm also a software programmer (yeah, throw a rock at a group of private pilots and there's a good chance you'll either hit a doctor, lawyer or computer geek). Anyway more to the point, I'm a huge fan of looking up aviation information online, especially weather (I'm addicted to adds.aviationweather.gov). But I'm disappointed in the lack of decent software for accessing NOTAMs. There's DUATs and PilotWeb...and not much else. So a year ago I decided to build an application to get NOTAMs and graphically draw the geographical data in the NOTAM text and overlay it on a map. If you have some time feel free to take a look (its free, no registration or signup required) its called Preflight Pro and its located at http://www.notduats.com. To see some sample NOTAM results take a look at the following links: http://www.notduats.com/notam.aspx?s...n,dc&radius=20 http://www.notduats.com/notam.aspx?s...rnia&radius=20 http://www.notduats.com/notam.aspx?s...land&radius=20 http://www.notduats.com/notam.aspx?s...exas&radius=20 If you have any questions or feedback I'd like to hear them. Thanks for your time! Patrick Pohler PP-SEL |

Terrific site, Patrick -- I'll be using it often. Now if you could only figure out a way to decode the absurd government-speak abbreviations used in NOTAMs, you'd REALLY have a winner! :-) -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

Thanks a lot Jay! I'm a big fan of your posts, and I hope to visit the
Inn someday soon. I'm from the Midwest and I've only been West of the Mississippi twice. g I have written an experimental decoder, but every time I run it my computer starts to smoke.... :P Pat |

Stop in sometime, and we'll doing some hangar lying, er, flying! :-) Where are you based? -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

That sounds great! Currently I'm based at OSU in Columbus Ohio.
Although I started my training two years ago in Louisville, KY (LOU) at Bowman Field. |

I've entered "SAC" and "Sacramento" and keep getting the same image of
Columbus... Am I missing something? Best Regards, Todd |

I've entered "SAC" and "Sacramento" and keep getting the same image of
Columbus... Am I missing something? Strangely, when I first entered "KIOW", Columbus came up for me, too. In a second or two, it displayed Iowa City correctly. Maybe you've gotta have the "K" in "KSAC"? -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

hmmm...??? That didn't work either... I also tried "MHR" and "KMHR",
which should have returned something, but keep getting the same picture of Columbus with the following response: "No available notams found for this search!" Todd |
