And 100% agree the biggest safety issue is the 50odd pages of NOTAMs you have to wade through, of irrelevant and future dated stuff.
It’s probably fine for those with airline departments that filter them out in a nice briefing package, but for those of us doing international ops and acquiring them all ourselves it’s a bloody nightmare and a safety hazard.
Completely concur. Once one is used to the abbreviations (except for the real bizarre ones they throw in now and then that even the decoder disco's on)
The NOTAM's kill me. Verbose, dated, (begin/end dates, if any) and sometimes reference from the ARP rather than a rwy end....
