The problem
A national feed doesn't know which line is about to expire on you
The FAA's NOTAM feed is exactly right and exactly the same for everyone, which means nothing about it is scoped to your airport specifically. A NOTAM about to close out on your own field reads no differently than one three states away unless somebody is actively watching that specific line.
And a NOTAM that has to be quoted precisely in a briefing or a written record shouldn't depend on somebody's typing. Copying it by hand is exactly how a single wrong digit slips into something that's meant to be exact.
How it works
Scoped to your ICAO, refreshed without you asking twice
- 01
Narrowed to your ICAO before it reaches the screen
The same public FAA source feeds this list, but Glidepath narrows it down first, so every line already belongs to your airport and nothing else.
- 02
You don't have to remember to check back
A NOTAM inside its last 24 hours picks up a flag in the list view and a tally in the sidebar, so a countdown you'd otherwise track by memory is already being watched for you.
- 03
It checks in without waiting to be asked
The list updates itself the moment the page opens, and a single button pulls the newest version anytime after that, with no separate site to visit to confirm it.
- 04
What's on screen is what goes in the export
Whatever the filters currently show (reference number, type, status, the full text, and both effective dates) becomes the PDF, or routes straight to an inbox by email, without re-keying a single field.
The benefit
What it automates
Filtered before you ever see it
Every entry on screen has already been narrowed to your own ICAO, so there's no scanning required through NOTAMs that belong to some other airport entirely.
A closing NOTAM flags itself
Cross into a NOTAM's last 24 hours and it stands out immediately (flagged in the list, counted in the sidebar), so nobody's stuck holding an expiration date in their head.
What you export is what's already true
The PDF comes straight off the same data driving the screen, so there's no second version to keep in sync or double-check against the original.

FAQ
Straight answers
Does Glidepath issue NOTAMs itself?
No. Every NOTAM still comes from the FAA through the normal channel. Glidepath's part is pulling that feed in, narrowing it to your airport, and adding the alerting and export around it.
How would I notice one about to lapse?
Anything inside the last 24 hours before its end time gets a visual flag in the list and adds to a count in the sidebar. No need to scan every entry yourself.
Is the feed live, or does someone have to refresh it manually?
Both: it loads current data automatically when you open the page, and a refresh button is there anytime you want to check again sooner.
Can this feed into a briefing packet or a formal record?
Yes. Whatever's currently filtered on screen turns into a PDF in one step, or goes out by email instead, whichever the moment calls for.
