> NOTAMs (Notice to Air Missions)

OT, but didn't NOTAM use to mean Notice to Airmen? It's still that on the ICAO website: https://www.icao.int/safety/istars/pages/notams.aspx

Did it change, or is this a CNN initiative? (And how does one notify a mission?)




The original definition was deemed to be not inclusive by DEI so address that they kept the acronym but changed the meaning.


The FAA's website has the updated nomenclature:

The US changed it. AFAIK, the icao definition has not changed, though I guess it could in the future.

Given that the US often does these kinds of things first, I've often wondered if it is a US-centric way of thinking?
