All Notam Plot needs is the data in a text format. Surely this must still exist for flying clubs etc who are not online.

All NATS have to do is have a page with the docs in the old format somewhere accessable on thier web site. It is very easy to repoint Notam Plot to another web page.

Saying this, if anybody knows of a web site that has the info in text format. Can you please mention it. Problem solved
The FAA web site has the info in text format, but not the same format as AIS used to present their bulletins in, so NOTAMPlot will not work. I've tried pasting the FAA report and raw formatted data into a text file and having NOTAMPlot process the tet file, with no success.

It should be possible for Ian to change NOTAMPlot to work from the FAA RAW format relatively easily, as the RAW format is very well structured. Let's hope he does so.
