US NOTAM archive

The gap FAA search leaves

FAA NOTAM Search is built for current operational briefing in the United States. When US NOTAMs expire or are cancelled, they drop off the operational feed powering public search. Investigators, lawyers, insurers, and operators working US cases still need retrospective proof of publication.

NOTAM History fills that gap with archive retrieval by K-coded aerodromes and US FIR identifiers — not by replacing FAA briefing before flight.

US ICAO examples

Major aerodromes: KJFK, KLAX, KORD, KDFW, KATL, KDEN, KSFO, KMIA, PANC (Anchorage). FIR examples include KZNY (New York), KZLA (Los Angeles), KZAU (Chicago), KZMA (Miami). Enter the code relevant to your case with the historical UTC date.

Results reflect archive provider storage for that US location and date, emailed in ICAO plain-text format within seconds.

NTSB, legal, and insurance context

US accident investigations and aviation litigation frequently hinge on whether specific runway, airspace, or navaid NOTAMs were active. Archive search supports that analysis when expired notices are unavailable on FAA interfaces. Treat output as one evidence layer alongside NTSB docket materials and operator records.

See NOTAMs for accident investigation and NOTAMs for aviation lawyers.

Pricing and comparison

Worldwide archive model: ICAO + date, ~two years depth, €9.99 one-off, €29.99/year (ten searches), €29.99 top-up. Not for pre-flight briefing.

NTSB, Part 121, and GA contexts

Part 121 dispatch organisations maintain internal briefing records, but external investigators may lack access early in a case. Independent US archive retrieval provides a parallel publication baseline.

General aviation occurrences at non-towered aerodromes still depend on published NOTAMs for runway closures and navaid status.

Do not confuse TFR graphical tools with comprehensive NOTAM archive history — retrospective analysis requires date-specific archive query.

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.

Alaska, Hawaii, and offshore US operations use the same K- and P-prefix ICAO conventions as continental NAS locations; archive retrieval uses those codes with the historical UTC date—FAA NOTAM Search still serves only current US briefing needs.

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

State public records laws generally do not require FAA to keep expired NOTAMs browsable on notams.aim.faa.gov indefinitely. US litigants should plan archive retrieval early rather than assuming subpoena to FAA will reproduce identical ICAO-format text faster than NOTAM History email delivery.
