What a shambles. Perhaps disgrace is a better term.

What idiot thinks that geting a NOTAM briefing 1 or more days before a flight is going to be safe. Perhaps they need to be reminded exactly what a NOTAM is and what it is for and why the pilot is generally expected to have received all relevant NOTAMs published up to a time 30 minutes before departure.

Have a look at the Eurocontrol proposed integrated briefing service. Read the reports and see how the UK is the only country that opposes the idea and has no idea of how many people use the various services!

They (Eurocontrol) make some interesting comments regarding the methods that National Authorities discourage use of commercial integrated systems.

www.skybook.co.uk is one of the better services available.
