Military Airfields / NOTAMs
NOTAMs
The live FAA feed scoped to your airfield, with expiring-NOTAM alerts.
The problem
A NOTAM is only useful if you see it before it matters
The FAA feed is public and current, but it isn't scoped to remind anyone of anything. A NOTAM about to expire for your airfield looks like any other line in a national feed unless someone happens to be watching for it, and nobody has time to re-read the same feed all day waiting for a countdown.
And when a NOTAM needs to go into a briefing or a record, retyping it from the feed is its own chance to get a character wrong in something that has to be exact.
How it works
The live feed, scoped and watched for you
- 01
Your airfield's NOTAMs, not the whole national feed
Glidepath pulls the live FAA feed scoped to your airfield's ICAO: the same source, filtered down to what's actually yours to track.
- 02
A 24-hour window, watched for you
Anything closing out within 24 hours shows on the list and counts on the sidebar, so an expiration surfaces well before it becomes a problem.
- 03
Refreshed when it needs to be
The feed pulls on load and refreshes on demand with a manual button, so there's no separate step to go check the source yourself.
- 04
A clean register, out as a PDF
Export the current, filtered list to a PDF (number, type, status, text, and both dates) and send it by email straight from the module.
The benefit
What it automates
Scoped to your airfield, not a national list
Every NOTAM shown is pulled live and filtered to your ICAO, so nobody scans a national feed looking for the ones that are actually theirs.
An expiring NOTAM doesn't depend on memory
The 24-hour warning shows on the list and on the sidebar count, so a NOTAM closing out doesn't rely on somebody re-checking the feed that day.
The register is a byproduct, not a rebuild
Exporting the current list to a PDF pulls directly from the live feed. Nothing gets retyped to produce the record.

FAQ
Straight answers
Can I create or edit a NOTAM in Glidepath?
No. Glidepath doesn't originate NOTAMs. It pulls the live FAA feed scoped to your airfield and adds alerting and export on top of it; a NOTAM itself is still issued through the normal FAA process.
How do I know a NOTAM is about to expire?
Anything closing out within 24 hours is flagged on the list and counted on the sidebar, so it surfaces without re-reading the whole feed.
How current is the feed?
It pulls fresh on page load and refreshes on demand with a manual button, so there's no separate step to go check the source.
Can I export the list for a briefing or a record?
Yes. Export the current, filtered list to a PDF register, or send it by email straight from the module.
