I know some airlines might use the info to calculate escape routes, however let that info go straight to the relevant parties. As a pilot I have no idea if they have accounted for x tree or not, I assume they have. I can read and see it infringes take-off surface gradients, but does that mean the STODA is wrong in ERSA?
These "Tree NOTAMS" were clogging up the briefing as mentioned. But I've noticed most that I saw, have now disappeared. I guess the Trees were removved??
