TaxiwayClosed AI FAQ for pilots

TaxiwayClosed AI is an app with an AI agent that reads the entire NOTAM package for an airport and places a clear cross on the airport surface map exactly where a taxiway or runway is closed. It is built to make pre-flight NOTAM review faster and more convenient for pilots. It is an awareness and training aid, not an official aviation source.

The agent ingests the full set of NOTAMs for the airport you search, identifies the ones describing surface closures, decodes each notice field by field (location, subject, condition, schedule), matches the feature to the airport's surface geometry, and places a cross on the affected taxiway or runway. The raw text, dates, and a confidence indicator are shown alongside the map.

A cross marks a taxiway or runway segment that a NOTAM describes as closed, drawn on that part of the airport diagram so it is visible at a glance. The cross is a training and awareness cue based on the app's interpretation of the NOTAM text; it is not an operational clearance and does not replace the official NOTAM or chart.

It can make the NOTAM review step faster by showing surface closures on a map instead of buried in pages of text, so you get oriented in seconds. It does not replace your official pre-flight briefing: you still read and verify the official NOTAMs, charts, approved EFBs, and company procedures before any flight.

No. TaxiwayClosed AI is not an official aviation source and is not valid for flight planning, dispatch, taxi, navigation, or flight operations.

No. Always verify with official NOTAMs, charts, approved EFB sources, ATC, dispatch, company procedures, and applicable aviation authorities.

A NOTAM (Notice to Air Missions, formerly Notice to Airmen) is a time-critical notice alerting pilots to hazards or changes, such as a closed taxiway or runway, at an airport or along a route. NOTAMs are issued in abbreviated text and are a required part of pre-flight preparation.

TaxiwayClosed AI may combine airport search, OpenStreetMap-based airport surface geometry, NOTAM-style information, and AI-assisted summaries. Availability, freshness, and interpretation can vary.

Confidence and mapped status are training cues about how clearly a closure item appears to match a surface feature. A low confidence result means you should read the raw NOTAM text carefully rather than rely on the mark. They are not safety determinations or operational approvals.

You can search airports worldwide by ICAO, IATA, city, or name. Surface-map detail and closure mapping depend on the available airport geometry, which is richer at larger airports and can be sparse or missing at smaller fields. Where geometry is missing, the app may show the NOTAM text without a mapped cross.

The current privacy policy says TaxiwayClosed does not require GPS tracking and does not track live location for advertising or user monitoring.

The current app has no registration, login, user account, or profile system.

Yes, as a learning aid. Student pilots can read a NOTAM, attempt their own decode, then compare it against the cross the AI agent places on the map to build the habit of spotting taxiway and runway closures. It should be used alongside instruction and official briefings, not in place of them. See NOTAM training for student pilots.

TaxiwayClosed AI is available on the App Store and Google Play. See the current store listings for pricing and availability in your region.
