Good day!
I recently created a free tool to monitor metar, taf and notam while working as dispatcher and more recently as a pilot.
Please feel free to comment and share if you like.

Nice idea but beware that your email server might be caught as SPAM if it sends every 30 minutes a new METAR !

For Flight Dispatcher, I think if there would be a tool that would monitor NOTAMs and warns you when any new NOTAM is issue for a specific FIR or Airport that would be a brilliant idea that I don't know if it's already available

For example : You release the flight and the aircraft is already enroute on a 6 - 7 hours flight and the destination or alternate airport suddenly has a Disabled aircraft and runway is closed and they issue a NOTAM so you get a NOTIFICATION that new NOTAM has been issued

There was something similar by Eurocontrol which is : NOTAM Ticker but I didn't manage to reach them in order to see if it's still availale

Do you have a link for the product ?
I never heard of it before although we use Jetplanner

Sorry mate, I don't. A quick call to your account manager should be able to provide that information though.

It's a good product, makes my life easier.

And NMT is integrated into JetPlanner from version 5.1 which displays all the affected flights. :D
