What is a NOTAM and its types, examples, and working in aviation?

There are many typical words and formats in aviation, and NOTAM is one of them. The NOTAM has its bad and good reviews which are based on some incidents that happened in the past, which would be discussed later in this article.

What is a NOTAM in aviation?

A NOTAM is a kind of notice (A notice to an Airman or a notice to an Air Mission) containing essential information about the flight route or its location. In these unclassified notices, those flight operations are mentioned that could affect aviation. 

By using special concentrated characters the language in these notices (i.e NOTAMs) is become unique and needs to be decoded by the aviation authority. 

What are the examples of NOTAMs?

Given below is a typical form of concentrated characters that call NOTAMs in aviation language. Here we are using the NOTAM of London Heathrow AirPort.
