You make an extremely good and compelling case for the way things could be done if there was a will.
America has many things wrong with it as do we. Recognise those parts that work and work very well and adopt those parts.
Next time the CAA bring a prosecution for CZ infringement I hope the circumstances of why the pilot infringed are fully explored. So lets see:
1. You were never trained how or where to obtain NOTAM information,
2. You have to rely on third party software to present the information in a half intelligible way, and in order to do so require access to the internet and a computer,
3. CZs are changed without the officially published charts being amended for months,
4. Little or no moving map GPS training was given to you, and you find yourself relying on antiquated navigation techniques that worked very well before the countryside was littered with CSs and aircraft rarely exceeded 100 knots,
5. I find when I want it controllers are often far too over worked to provide a radar service.
Not a compelling case for the prosecution me thinks
