I fully agree. The notam system in this country is a disgrace, along with the many glaring errors in the AIP. Have you ever tried to phone NATS to sort this out - I have never got through.
Commercial aviators, particularly helo operators who are generally doing everything themselves (flying, passenger handling, engineering, logistics etc, etc) deserve support from these organisations not hinderence. This is the British attitude; we can now find a thousand of reasons for not doing something and very few for. We are ruled by little men who take pleasure and profit by interfering and being obstructive.
I'm pleased the £1000s I have paid the CAA is being used sensibly. The pilot was guilty but so was everyone who let him continue.
