1. What are NOTAMs? (AIM 5-1-3)
Notices To Airmen (NOTAM)—Time critical aeronautical information which is of either a temporary nature or not sufficiently known in advance to permit publication on aeronautical charts or in other operational publications receives immediate dissemination via the National NOTAM System. It includes such information as airport or primary runway closures, changes in the status of navigational aids, ILS’s, radar service availability, and other information essential to planned enroute, terminal, or landing operations.

2. What are the four basic groups of NOTAMs? (AIM 5-1-3)
NOTAMs are classified into four groups:
a. (D) NOTAMs—Information that requires wide dissemination via telecommunication and pertains to en route navigational aids, civil public-use airports listed in the AFD, facilities, services, and procedures.
b. FDC NOTAMs—Flight information that is regulatory in nature including, but not limited to, changes to IFR charts, procedures, and airspace usage.
c. POINTER NOTAMs—Issued by a flight service station to highlight or point out another NOTAM; such as an FDC NOTAM. These NOTAMs assist users in cross-referencing important information that may not be found under an airport or NAVAID identifier.
d. MILITARY NOTAMs—Pertain to U.S. Air Force, Army, Marine, and Navy navigational aids/airports that are part of the NAS.
