What is a NOTAM?
A Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) is an official aviation notice that alerts pilots to important information about potential hazards, temporary restrictions, or changes that may affect flight operations.
For drone operators in New Zealand, NOTAMs help communicate relevant flight activity and airspace information to other airspace users. They can be particularly important when planning operations near aerodromes, helipads, and hospital landing sites.
How to Submit a NOTAM
Drone operators undertaking operations under Part 102 may need to arrange a NOTAM as part of their operational procedures or in accordance with their specific authorisation requirements.
NOTAMs can be submitted online through the Airways New Zealand IFIS portal or you can submit one below.
Plan ahead and submit your request at least 24 hours before the intended flight, where applicable, allowing time for processing and publication. Before flying, ensure you have met all applicable notification, airspace, and authorisation requirements for your operation.
