Aviation Weather & NOTAM Parsing App

This app parses aviation weather notifications and NOTAMs (Notice to Air Missions) and displays them for pilots, with a goal of ensuring no relevant information is hidden while providing a mechanism to surface more important notices, such as a runway closure, above the noise of dozens of low-relevance notices about cranes and unlit objects.

01 / The problem

What it addresses

The global NOTAM system is broken and operates on the basis of legal liability: NOTAMs are published to comply with requirements, and pilots are required to know all relevant information, but important things get lost in the noise—for example, a single runway-closure notice can be missed unless one carefully reads 100 notices.
