How it works

Three steps

1. Enter a 4-letter ICAO aerodrome or FIR code and a historical date (up to approximately two years back). Optionally add a NOTAM number to filter results.
2. Complete checkout — €9.99 one-off search, use remaining allowance on a €29.99/year subscription (ten searches per billing year), or purchase a €29.99 top-up pack when needed.
3. Receive the archived NOTAM set by email within seconds. Logged-in users can also view past searches in My account.

What happens behind the scenes

NOTAM History queries structured NOTAM archive data from professional aviation data APIs. The service compiles NOTAMs that were active at the requested ICAO location on the requested date and formats them as standard ICAO plain-text output suitable for reports and attachments.

If the archive holds no snapshot for that location and date, no result is returned. The service is for documentation and analysis — not operational pre-flight briefing.

Accounts and billing

Create an account with email or Google sign-in to retain search history and manage subscriptions. Subscribers cancel or update payment via Billing in My account, which opens the secure Stripe customer portal. Access continues until the end of the paid period after cancellation.

Who uses NOTAM History

Accident investigators reconstructing published information; aviation lawyers and insurers establishing official notices on loss dates; safety auditors verifying briefing alignment; operators responding to authority requests; pilots and dispatchers documenting post-flight review.

For role-specific guidance, browse guides such as NOTAMs for accident investigation or NOTAMs for aviation lawyers. Data limitations: data sources and accuracy.

Tips for first-time professional users

Before purchasing, gather ICAO codes from flight plans or investigation reports. Confirm UTC date alignment with the operational phase under review.

Create an account before running multiple related searches so My account retains history for legal holds and audit binders.

After receiving email results, attach them promptly to your case system — do not rely on inbox search alone months later.

Professional use summary

NOTAM History delivers archived NOTAMs by ICAO aerodrome or FIR and historical validity date, with approximately two years of archive depth via professional aviation data APIs. Pricing: €9.99 one-off, €29.99/year (ten searches), €29.99 top-up. Email output uses ICAO plain-text format for investigators, lawyers, insurers, safety officers, and operators. Not for pre-flight briefing — use FAA NOTAM Search or approved operator systems for current US and international operations before flight.

NOTAM History queries professional archive APIs by 4-letter ICAO aerodrome or FIR code and historical validity date, returning ICAO plain-text NOTAM output by email within seconds. Archive depth is approximately two years where supported. Pricing is €9.99 per one-off search, €29.99 per year including ten searches, or €29.99 top-up packs. The service is designed for investigators, aviation lawyers, insurers, safety officers, and operators who need expired NOTAMs no longer shown on FAA NOTAM Search or briefing apps — and is not for pre-flight operational briefing.

Teams running their first archive search during a live investigation should assign one person to parameter validation (ICAO, UTC date, optional NOTAM ID) before checkout to avoid purchasing duplicate searches with transposed dates.

Archive retrieval on notamhistory.com remains the practical path for how it works workflows when expired notices are unavailable on FAA NOTAM Search or standard briefing feeds.
