Trigger Notam???

Can someone fill me in on what a "Trigger Notam" is and what would be the difference between a Notam and a "Trigger Notam"?

[What time is ECT?]

Great question TBT.

A trigger NOTAM is a NOtice To AirMen that the Aeronautical Publications have changed. It comes out to advise that the next cycle is active, and remains active for about half of that cycle (i.e. 14 days for a 28 day cycle).

A trigger NOTAM is a great reminder to update your AIP, because it's easy to forget when the things are posted to you so early and just sit in the flight bag.

How do I remember? Triggers are on Guns.
I'm GUNNA update my AIP.

ECT?

ECT, good mnemonic there - I must adopt that one, as opposed to my usual which is NOTAM - NOT time to do the amendment yet, but I AM surely going to do it when the time comes, and then I find it scrunched up in the bottom of the nav bag about 2 months later!
