>>Delhi's notams really are ridiculous with pages and pages about some trivial amendment to a SID (which is already incorporated on the plates) and important one liners are hidden amongst them.<<
BOM's are the same, kinda like the UK or Japanese notams, page after page of trivia. We've made great strides in CRM (or whatever it is called this year) but paperwork is still largely based on 1930's teletype formats i.e. all caps, cryptic weather codes, few or no decimals in numbers etc. I know I've made mistakes over the years from trying to read all this nonsense.
I am aware of the nautical tradition of mystifying procedures so only the officers can drive the ship but it is surely time to make our flight papers more human readable.
