On checking Altitude Angel I’ve started seeing the appearance of more than usual NOTAMs created for private drone flights classed as recreational. I thought posting these flights was considered unnecessary and a distraction to general aviation but it also raises the question by what means are the flyers in question able to do this? Anyone know what online tools / systems these NOTAMs are being created with?

I suspect what you’re seeing on their app is a flight report and not a NOTAM.
Have you got an example?
Or better still, check it yourself on Drone Scene by turning the NOTAM layer on and off, and turning the Flight Reports layer on and off too.

Its not a NOTAM, its a flight report.
Creating a NOTAM is not something a regular person can do without a full CAA approval process.
They’re created by things Drone Assist (what i use) and some others.
They’re entirely advisory.
Including our very own DroneScene
