Overview

• 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.
