WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Federal Aviation Administration said on Monday it is reversing a four-year-old decision to rename pilot messages and reinstating the prior "Notice to Airmen" term.

In December 2021, the FAA under President Joe Biden renamed the messages "Notices to Air Missions," commonly known as NOTAMs, saying it was "inclusive of all aviators and missions."

The FAA did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the name change. NOTAMs contain essential information for pilots and others involved in flight operations but not known far enough in advance to be publicized by other means.
