DFC,
Thanks for confirming its a lozenge, although confirmation from AIS would be comforting.
As to the point about TRA beyond destination. (I can't do quotes). If you fly in straight lines, great. Many pilots do not fly so clinically, aviation is an adventure, hopping from place to place knowing your location, sometimes inverted. What if you want to visit the Cerne Abbas giant beyond Comption Abbas or Leeds Castle beyond Rochester. Or you are general maneouvering around your local airfield or teaching someone lessons 7,8 and 9. Not really going anywhere just a bit of aeros and all you really want to know is are there any big things we all should avoid in the local area. How do we get a NOTAM brief that does that without reading all NOTAMS.
Surely a here to there plus or minus 20 miles or a my airfield radius 30 miles NOTAM brief would suit the majority of pilots.
