Hi,
over the area of Munich, theres an NOTAM stating "OVERFLYING PROHIBITED FOR MIL JET ACFT". This NOTAM is kind of a problem because a) it cannot be hidden in SkyDemon and b) it triggers a nasty "OVERFLYING PROHIBITED" warning in flight when approaching Munich.

Now, I don't think that many fighter pilots are using SkyDemon when flying VFR, so I'm suggesting to filter NOTAMs directed at military pilots only.

Regards,
Johnny

This isn't a totally straightforward problem to solve.

The first issue is that more military fighter pilots are using SkyDemon for VFR than you think.

The second issue is that there's no flag within a NOTAM dictating if it's intended for military pilots only. It might be that such NOTAM are published within a specific series, in which case we could investigate the possibility of unsubscribing from that series, but is not ideal because of the first issue.
