    description: >-
      The FAA NOTAM API provides access to Notices to Air Missions (NOTAMs),
      which are time-critical aeronautical information that could affect a
      pilot's decision to make a flight. The API allows developers to query
      active NOTAMs by location, type, and effective date for use in flight
      planning and situational awareness applications.
