Not retain it, you probably have a copy with you which you would read if you did end up diverting somewhere. NOTAMs also affect which airports go in your "would divert to" list when you're planning the flight. E.g. if the NOTAMs say AirportA's lights are unserviceable, you wouldn't plan it as a diversion airport for your night flight.

- cjrp 4y agoThere are many reasons to divert, not all of them big emergencies. Weather at your destination is worse than forecast, for example.
