"I don't know about you fellows but being a simple soul I find these NOTAMS quite diificult to interpret. Who dreamt this awful format up?"
I think this has come up before ( ? the relatively recent accident in the States where it seems take off was attempted from a closed runway). In these days of the internet you would think the distribution and presentation of notams could be much more user friendly....instead of which we are stuck with a teleprinter friendly format that seems to date back to WW2.
