NOTAM Notice to Airmen A NOTAM is a notice that contains essential information to alert pilots of potential hazards at a specific location or along a flight route. NOTAMs are publicly available. Pilots are required to check for NOTAMs along their relevant routes or locations before the start of a flight.

This tendency is due to their high center of gravity and heavy engine over the nose wheel. Check NOTAMs Before departure, check the Notices to Air Missions (NOTAM) publication. You might find a NOTAM about your destination’s surface conditions. In extreme cases, a nose-over can occur.

So, taking information from multiple sources, such as NOTAMs and SIGMETs, is important. You must also manage where to load specific cargo to maintain the center of gravity limitations. Depending on the navigation equipment, you’ll plan the flight’s route. Once all this is done, you will file the flight plan.

The aircraft ended up being overloaded by 580 pounds, with its center of gravity positioned too far back. Terrain and NOTAMs Weather isnt the only thing you have to consider. On top of that, you should always check NOTAMs (Notices to Air Missions) before your flight. What do NOTAMs do?

However, check NOTAMs for runway closures. High-wing aircraft are particularly vulnerable due to their higher center of gravity. Look at the airport layout and determine the winds in relation to the available runways. The runway most closely aligned to the expected wind direction will likely be active.
