Introducing Notamify's List View: A Decluttered Approach to NOTAM Management

1/11/2025

When pilots are working with 150+ pages of briefing documents per flight, finding critical information becomes like searching for a needle in a haystack. A recent analysis showed that the average international flight briefing package contains over 250 NOTAMs, with many being irrelevant to the actual flight time or operations. This information overload isn't just inconvenient – it's a serious safety concern.

The Problem with Traditional NOTAM Displays

Traditional NOTAM briefings often present information in dense, hard-to-scan formats:

  • Walls of text with no visual hierarchy
  • Mixed critical and non-critical information
  • No clear categorization or prioritization
  • Limited filtering capabilities

Introducing the New List View

Our new List View tackles these challenges head-on with a completely redesigned interface focused on clarity and efficiency. Here's what makes it special:

List View

1. Clear Visual Hierarchy

  • It allows to quickly scan through the list and find the most important NOTAMs
  • The same NOTAM time and category filters are available
  • Color-coded categories for quick scanning
  • Important details immediately visible
  • Expandable entries for additional information

2. Smart Categorization

  • Automatic grouping by operational impact
  • Visual indicators for NOTAM type
  • Quick-filter buttons for common categories
  • Timeline integration for temporal context

3. Decluttered Interface

  • Focus on essential information
  • One-line previews for quick scanning
  • Expandable details on demand
  • Clear separation between different types of NOTAMs

Real-World Impact

Our beta testers have highlighted the cleaner, more visual approach to scanning through NOTAMs. The combination of date/time filtering and category organization has significantly improved their confidence in not missing critical information during flight preparation.

How It Works

The List View automatically organizes NOTAMs into a scannable format:

  1. Priority Sorting

    • Critical safety NOTAMs at the top
    • Time-sensitive items highlighted
    • Operational impacts clearly marked
  2. Smart Filtering

    • Filter by category with one click
    • Time-based filtering for your flight window
    • Quick search across all fields
  3. Visual Aids

    • Icons indicating NOTAM type
    • Progress bars for validity periods
    • Status indicators for active/upcoming NOTAMs

Additionally, the system automatically saves selected view preference to enable quick access to the most relevant NOTAMs.
