Definition
INFO is a standard FAA contraction for the word 'information,' used in NOTAMs, charts, weather products, and other aeronautical documents to save space without changing meaning.
Plain English
INFO is just a short way of writing 'information' in official aviation publications.
Context Anchor
Seen in FAA notices, airport information, flight planning material, and briefings where space is limited and standard shortened forms are used.
Derivation
Information comes from a Latin word meaning to form or instruct. That helps because aviation information shapes what the pilot understands before making a decision.
Why Pilots Care
INFO may point to details that affect planning, airport use, or safety, so a pilot should read it as meaningful content, not filler.
Intuition Check
INFO does not mean the item is automatically optional or unimportant. It means the item is giving details the pilot is expected to notice and understand.
Example Sentence 1
The NOTAM included INFO about the temporary runway closure at the destination airport.
Example Sentence 2
The NOTAM listed updated INFO about runway construction.
