Anyone read the Sydney NOTAMS completely and thoroughly every time they operate there?
Does anybody spend time plotting every unlit crane for example before their departure? Of course not!

There is so much unnecessary crap to go through that sooner or later an important NOTAM will be missed amongst all the other garbage.

Of course it is always the pilots responsibility to ensure that all RELEVANT information has been studied before commencing a flight but it would be a damn sight better if the RELEVANT information was presented in a more user friendly fashion.

I sure as hell hope that anything really important would be on the ATIS.

Certainly for our company operations, anything pertaining to shortened runway operations would require revised take-off and landing data which would hopefully always be promulgated in our own company material.
