I agree blueloo !!!!!
Not to mention that there is normally only one copy of the notams on the flightdeck. Where is the normal crosscheck using independant plates during approach?
Great timing too (winter).
If yesterdays pea soup fog in CBR that lasted until nearly lunchtime is any indication of things to come this winter then we are in for some very interesting and possibly dangerous times.
Carrying out an instrument (NPA) approach in a jet to a reduced runway length of 1900 metres with a temporary displaced threshold in marginal conditions using a single notam as a "pseudo instrument approach plate" is not a desirable scenario !!!!!!
Coupled with the terrain and normally short flight times to CBR (i.e reduced briefing time) be very carefull people.
