Paste a raw NOTAM below and read it in plain English — the Q-code, the validity times, the active schedule and every contraction, explained. Everything is decoded in your browser; nothing is sent anywhere.
Dispatch Brief reads your full route, cuts pages of raw NOTAMs and weather down to what actually affects your flight, and reads it back to you in your own language. 48 hours free, no card required.
Try a full briefingA standard ICAO NOTAM is split into lettered fields. The decoder takes each one in turn: the Q) qualifier line, which carries the five-letter Q-code naming the subject and its condition, the traffic it affects, the scope and the vertical limits; A) the aerodrome or FIR it applies to; B) and C), the start and end of validity in YYMMDDHHMM UTC; D), the schedule during which it is actually active; E), the narrative text; and F)/G) for lower and upper height limits.
The two dates catch pilots out most often. A NOTAM can be valid for a month under B) and C) while the D) schedule means it only bites for six hours a night — so a runway closure listed as valid today may be nowhere near your departure time. Always check D) before assuming a NOTAM affects you.
This tool is for training and situational awareness. Always cross-check against your official briefing source before flight.
