NOTAM’s on the other hand!!!! My latest bugbear is JFK 13L/31R. PAPI’s us g/p u/s loc u/s centreline lighting U/s and on and on. Finally on the next page on its own hidden away. Runway closed. If the runway is closed and dug up, I honestly couldn’t care less about the other page worth of verbiage.
Ha! That is exactly what used to happen with notices to mariners - the sailors equivalent of NOTAMS. A lowly junior officer was given the task of wading through piles of N2Ms, painstakingly drawing corrections onto a paper chart with his magenta pen, and then after 20 have been added, the 21st says stick the attached chartlet over the top of the lot! It's a tough sailor who doesn't cry at that point!
