Of the six fliers based at our strip only two have the faintest idea how to look at the Notams.
Is the system wrong or are the pilots? Discuss.
The pilots are wrong, no question.
But...
We could try to round up all these evil pilots and water-board them until they beg for mercy, and it won't solve the problem. People always make mistakes, and a smaller number don't know how to (or can't be bothered to) check Notams.
We could also ask, beg, plead, cajole, petition... NATS to provide a sensible interface to the Notam system. We know it can be done, and we know it wouldn't cost much, as people have demonstrated it. I'm rather afraid we'd be wasting our time there, too.
