I hope someone can advise on this.

I have only used SD when doing a few circuits so haven't had a chance to give it good go yet.

Is there a way to get the notams, if you don't want to fly a planned route? If I just wanted to flying around North Wales, Cheshire, Shropshire ( not aimlessly) but not on a strict route, how do I get the notams transferred onto my mobile device? I had thought of planning a local route to gets the notams and then transferring it to the device, but do I have to actually 'open' the route on the device for the notams to be identified or will the fact that I have synced be enough for the device to see them?

Thanks

p.s. Regardless of where I fly I always check the Notams/weather and royal flights regardless of whether or not they are on any device.

Thank you for that response Tim, very helpful.

I live in Llanelli and fly from my local airfield Pembrey. When I plan flights on SD it always highlights the Pembrey and pedine dangers areas as active even when flying on weekends and with the weekend filter switched on. Pembrey and Pendine not active on weekends. Any ideas why this may occur or is it a problem with a particular notam? Great software.
