NOTAM Improvement Act of 2023

The NOTAM Improvement Act of 2023 requires the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to establish a task force within 180 days to review and improve the system for delivering flight safety notices (NOTAMs) to pilots. The task force, including representatives from airlines, airports, pilot and dispatcher unions, and aviation safety experts, will evaluate current practices and recommend ways to make notices more accurate, timely, and user-friendly. The FAA must also implement a new Federal flight safety notice system by September 30, 2024, including a backup system and a plan for global standardization with international aviation formats. The task force must submit its recommendations to Congress within one year, focusing on enhancing safety information delivery for pilots and air traffic operations.
