I complained to AUS about NOTAMs whose effective points started with the first incident on the first day, and continued until the completion of the last event on the last day. This has the effect of NOTAMs showing up in some cases for many days on which they don’t take effect. AUS replied that they do not have resources to raise NOTAMs for individual days.
Instead, as users, it appears that we have to find the resources to filter out NOTAMs that don’t apply to the dates or times that we are flying, because AUS can’t be bothered to do it right.
If they are really so under-resourced, it ought to be fixed. Actually, I don’t believe them. I believe they simply will not change their working practices because they can’t be bothered.
