Code language in NOTAM

According to skybrary.aero, the language of NOTAM is actually tricky. This is code language. This information is usually shared with pilots and crew members during the final briefing before takeoff.

Suppose, some flying activities are going on in some area, then its information is already given through NOTAM. For example air show, parachute jumping or gliding event. Their information is already known to the pilots and crew.

Apart from this, if any runway or taxi-way is closed. If there is a problem in the radio navigation system, military exercise is going on or there is any other problem near the airfield, then all the information is available through NOTAM.
