OT, but didn't NOTAM use to mean Notice to Airmen? It's still that on the ICAO website: https://www.icao.int/safety/istars/pages/notams.aspx https://www.icao.int/safety/istars/pages/notams.aspx
Did it change, or is this a CNN initiative? (And how does one notify a mission?)
- JCM9 4y agoThe original definition was deemed to be not inclusive by DEI so address that they kept the acronym but changed the meaning.
- ThinkingGuy 4y agoThe FAA's website has the updated nomenclature: https://www.faa.gov/about/initiatives/notam/what_is_a_notam https://www.faa.gov/about/initiatives/notam/what_is_a_notam
- _ea1k 4y agoThe US changed it. AFAIK, the icao definition has not changed, though I guess it could in the future. Given that the US often does these kinds of things first, I've often wondered if it is a US-centric way of thinking?
