Try looking at post # 5.
I mean, if people's platforms are so fragile, sad, and pathetic that they'd need to make an issue out of a supposed acronym change over the fact that air traffic over the US was brought to a halt, so be it.
Listening to the talking heads describe what NOTAM is is cringe-worthy.Hmm… “men” was likely deemed to have been a micro-aggression, so it had to be changed (for political correctness or to be sufficiently ‘woke’). “Airpersons” fails (my confuser’s) spellcheck and doesn’t fit the “NOTAM” acronym so they likely decided on “Air Missions” to resolve that critical issue.
Do you ever post anything that is not ironic wth aw ink at the end? How is this condescending attitude productive for a meaningful discussion?Hmm… “men” was likely deemed to have been a micro-aggression, so it had to be changed (for political correctness or to be sufficiently ‘woke’). “Airpersons” fails (my confuser’s) spellcheck and doesn’t fit the “NOTAM” acronym so they likely decided on “Air Missions” to resolve that critical issue.
You obviously don’t fly. I haven’t flown for a decade or more, I did get to the solo stage of pilot training and decided that I had fulfilled my goal. When I was a student NOTAM was defined as Notice To AirMen. There was a monthly publication, IIRC, that included all the things that pilots had encountered that may be significant to other pilots flying the same routes. The change is pretty recent and came as a surprise when I heard the news caster read what they were. I had to look it up and the new definition took place in DEC 2021.

Oh, I don't think you're wrong. Usually you're not. Just think the snarkiness always derails topics and discussions for no reason, when you have so much to add. Anyway...you do you. Sorry (sincerely)See post #13 or look at the following link (which it includes). My SWAG appears to have been largely correct.

Who the **** cares? It's a pathetic point to get hung up over.You obviously don’t fly. I haven’t flown for a decade or more, I did get to the solo stage of pilot training and decided that I had fulfilled my goal. When I was a student NOTAM was defined as Notice To AirMen.

One of the first reasons given was to make the term more “inclusive.” The acronym didn’t change and any one familiar never called NOTAMs anything longer than NOTAMs. It took a major shutdown of the aviation system to bring the change to light. If not for the break-down no one would have been the wiser, certainly not me.
It’s difficult not to shake my head over the wave of “inclusiveness” and political correctness that we engage in.
I wasn’t flying this morning or planning to in the near future, so the system crashing didn’t much affect me the new definition was a notable thing, sorry to upset you……

Start a thread. You seem to be the hung up party…..
So your snowflake politics are so fragile you cannot handle the expansion of terms to include all people and unmanned craft.
Maybe if the FAA had spent the money that the 176 page cost on why there was no redundancy for the system, we would never have known about the definition change. There are snowflake politics on display here, just not mine. Soon there will be ++++s and more letters added so people’s fee fees don’t get twisted up!
You seem quite upset about changing the definition of an acronym to more accurately reflect the types of air traffic we currently have.
Probably some small fraction of costs that an upgrade or adding redundancy would cost.
I learned to fly 1984 and through my entire flying career which temporarily was put on hold a few years ago m(but will resume this year) it was Notice to Airmen. Seems it changed end of last year.
