The Nitty Gritty

So finally after sidetracks about RTT we get to the point - why were the crew "Unaware" of the WIP?

A BA ran into soft tar in the Carribean a while back - also unaware.

The whole NOTAM system is quite lousy, with additions and modifications and hidden goodies and does lead to people skimping their study of them. How about a plan to get the main points in as plain English headlines - details lower down?

RW25 reduced TORA/TODA ---- m due to WIP. LDG Dist Avbl ---- m.
Times... for instance.

By the way, the contractors are pretty trusting in calculated stop distances to be working on the end of a live runway. One day there will be an RTO and the graphs will be put to the test...
