FAA Reinstates 'Notice to Airmen' Term Under Trump Administration

The reversal undoes a Biden-era change aimed at inclusivity and reflects broader shifts in aviation policy under President Trump.

The Federal Aviation Administration has replaced 'Notice to Air Missions' with the original 'Notice to Airmen' term, effective immediately.
The Biden administration had renamed the term in 2021 to align with inclusivity efforts and accommodate unmanned aircraft operations.
The abbreviation 'NOTAM' remains unchanged, as it applies to both versions of the term.
Critics of the original change, including Republican lawmakers, argued it prioritized semantics over aviation safety.
The move is part of a broader rollback of diversity initiatives in aviation ordered by President Trump, including renaming geographical landmarks.
