Finally don't EVER EVER go flying without calling the 0500 number - NO EXCUSES!
Both The Red Arrows and The BBMF have both shown in the past that they do not check their NOTAMS sufficiently. Other pilots who should know better have made the same omission from their pre-flight planning. Commercial pilots occasionally overlook their NOTAMS. GA pilots too make the same mistakes and are all shamefully made aware!

The two-faced hypocrisy from equally guilty pilots amazes and saddens me.

Something needs to be done regarding the ease of access and usability of the AIS website. We should not need to rely on other easier formats when a body is tasked and paid handsomely with that very job. Who funds it?

VFE.
