The right portal for the right situation
Each agency has a different scope, a different deadline, and sometimes a different phone number. We render the official source and the deadline; you click through to file.
First — where do you have to report?
Aviation event reporting questionnaire.
Walks NTSB §830, NASA ASRS, FAA wildlife / laser / GPS / SUP, PHMSA hazmat, TSA security, §61.15 motor-vehicle action, §67.403 medical, Part 121/135 SDR, school SMS, and insurance in one form. Outputs a ranked list of every system you need to file with — mandatory immediate → recommended → voluntary — with deadlines and direct links.

The replacement for the old NOTAM system
The legacy FAA NOTAM Distribution Service was retired and migrated. The official replacement is the FAA NOTAM Search portal. Bookmark the successor URL — old links may continue redirecting for a while but shouldn't be relied on.

We will surface decoded NOTAMs natively when the Atlas NOTAM decoder ships. Until then, use the FAA portal directly.

06 / How this list stays honest
Verified daily. Last verified timestamps on every entry.
Every URL on this page is HEAD-checked daily. Phone numbers are spot-verified monthly against the originating agency's published contact directory. If you find a number that's stale or a portal that's moved, tell us — every page in the Atlas Portal has a "report a broken link" route.
