ForeFlight Introduces AI-Generated NOTAM Summaries

ForeFlight Introduces AI-Generated NOTAM Summaries
Jeppesen ForeFlight has announced the upcoming launch of ClearNOTAMs, an AI-driven feature designed to generate concise, plain-language summaries of Notices to Air Missions (NOTAMs) within its mobile and web flight-planning platforms. Unveiled shortly after the EAA AirVenture Oshkosh event, this innovation seeks to simplify the traditionally complex and technical language of NOTAMs, thereby enhancing pilots’ ability to quickly comprehend critical flight information.
Enhancing Clarity and Usability in Flight Planning
ClearNOTAMs will present AI-generated summaries as the default text for each notice, while allowing users the option to toggle the feature on or off. Pilots can expand any summary to access the original NOTAM alongside the AI interpretation, ensuring transparency and direct access to source material. ForeFlight has developed multiple AI models tailored to interpret different types of NOTAMs, supported by automated accuracy checks that determine whether a summary meets quality standards. In cases where a summary fails to meet these criteria or a new NOTAM has not yet been processed, the original notice will be displayed by default.
Cole Crawford, ForeFlight’s director of product, emphasized the feature’s potential to improve flight planning efficiency. “ClearNOTAMs helps pilots spend less time deciphering information and more time understanding it,” he stated. “By transforming complex NOTAM language into clear, concise summaries, we’re making one of the most important parts of flight planning more accessible and actionable.”
Alongside ClearNOTAMs, ForeFlight will introduce enhanced tools for filtering and sorting NOTAMs by category, issuing authority, activation time, and recency. Users will also be able to pin important notices and collapse less relevant ones, allowing for a more tailored briefing experience. These features will be accessible across all ForeFlight subscription tiers.
Addressing Industry Concerns Amid Growing AI Skepticism
The ClearNOTAMs rollout will begin with a complimentary three-month trial for individual subscribers following AirVenture, after which continued access will require a ForeFlight Premium subscription for individuals, Business Performance plans for flight departments, or select military and government subscriptions.
This launch occurs amid widespread skepticism toward AI-generated content. Recent studies reveal that approximately 80% of Americans express wariness about AI-produced information, citing concerns over transparency and control. Within the aviation community, where safety-critical decisions depend on precise and verified data, such skepticism may lead to heightened scrutiny of AI tools.
ForeFlight has sought to mitigate these concerns by incorporating a user feedback mechanism that allows pilots to report suspected translation errors directly within the app. When flagged, the notice reverts to its original format for that user and is reviewed by the company for accuracy.
The introduction of ClearNOTAMs also positions ForeFlight within a competitive environment where rivals are likely to accelerate their own AI initiatives. However, the industry must navigate challenges related to trust, reliability, and legal liability, especially in light of recent high-profile legal disputes involving AI-generated misinformation.
As ForeFlight integrates artificial intelligence into its flight-planning ecosystem, the company confronts the dual imperative of fostering innovation while upholding the accuracy and trustworthiness that are fundamental to aviation safety.
