NOTAMS - NOTICES TO AIRMEN - These detail planned airspace restrictions and navigational warnings - issued by NATS

"Checking NOTAMs is a fundamental responsibility for every pilot. NOTAMs warn of various hazards and changes which may affect your flight on a particular day - including changes which, if ignored, could actually endanger either the pilot or other aviators. Access to the UK AIS Website is free but requires simple and rapid one off registration for NOTAM checking."
