For all iPhone users out there, add the appropriately titled NOTAMS app. You enter the start and destination airports and all the relevant NOTAMS appear within a 20 mile radius of each airport and 20 mile buffer either side of track. Also gives a map of your route. Takes seconds.
Absolutely brilliant.
How does that work, then, given that location information is not required to be encoded in any particular machine readable format in NOTAMs, and all the other NOTAM plotting applications have to guess a bit. Which is why none of the others claims to plot "
all the relevant NOTAMS", just that subset that they can interpret.
How does your iPhone application invent information that isn't there? Is there a human being sitting at the other end doing the plotting for you (that
would work, if you were willing to pay for it, but nothing else can)?
