The idea is right; what they're trying to do is right.

Only ... by the time they got round to it, Ian had produced NotamPlot and we were all blissfully happy. Now, they've improved the Notam site (they have!) but killed NotamPlot in the process.

There's a lot of work to be done before the AIS site is useable. I put in a route for tomorrow, telling it my route, VFR, not above 5000 feet. I got Upper Airways NOTAMS in the screed, for heavens sakes!

The NOTAM list started with a list of the 50-odd NOTAMS that are relevant but NOT included in the briefing. Really inspires confidence, that does.

I waded through the first four or five pages, and didn't see anything that looked relevant. After that, it was all a blur.

Give them time. Meanwhile, pray there aren't any important bits of information on page 13 of 25, or any important things they didn't get round to NOTAMming.
