NOTAM Changes
On 30/05/2008 a
new National Air Traffic Services (NATS) website was introduced
at http://www.nats-uk.ead-it.com.
This is the site
that you now need to visit to viewand download Pre-Flight Information
Bulletins (PIBs) that contain NOTAMs.
The new site
presents PIBs - and their NOTAMS- using a changed format. The NOTAM load
facility in FlightMap
Version 2.2 has been enhanced to process the new format. If you already
have FlightMap
Version 2.2, you can refreshthe software module of your
installation in order toget the enhanced FlightMap
NOTAM load facility.
To refresh your FlightMap
Version 2.2, right clickon the link below then select Save Target As.
In the Save
As dialog, set Save as type
to 'Application'.
Fltmap.exe (enhanced software
module).
Save the enhanced
software module intoa temporary folder on your PC. From there, copy
it into your FlightMap
installation to replace the existing software module -
whichhas
the same name. Your existing software module is in the
folder where you installed FlightMap
- and thatwill
be c:\fltmap if you chose the defaultfolder during
installation.
Once you have
replaced your software module,you can continue to download PIB
files andload
them into FlightMap
for viewing, for including in printed briefingsand for export
for loading into WinPilot. These facilities are illustrated in
the Airspace part ofthe Guided Tour of FlightMap.
