Thanks to Nick Roberts and Steve Jones for the following information which they have asked me to make available on the website regarding NOTAMS and codes to be used for the clubs local sites:
http://www.swwsc.co.uk/index.php?page=20Military Freephone (NOTAM) Information Page
NOTAM or NoTAM is the quasi-acronym for a "Notice To Airmen". NOTAMs are created and transmitted by government agencies under guidelines specified by Annex 15: Aeronautical Information Services of the International Convention on Civil Aviation. A NOTAM is filed with an aviation authority to alert aircraft pilots of any hazards en route or at a specific location. The authority in turn provides means of disseminating relevant NOTAMs to pilots.
What should I do before flying from a site during the week?
