1. NOTAM - Okay, understand now and agree (missed your #29 post). In this age of self dispatching armed only with your "flight pack" just printed off by yourself, how many pilots actually review NOTAMS and provide a NOTAM Brief to all the operating tech crew, especially when under time pressure?
I have my views about the crew and NOTAMs but that isn't my point. My point is that the aviation authority with responsibility for the VNKT Rwy 2 RNP AR approach should have (still should) issue a NOTAM to not authorize the approach until the threshold work is completed. And, approach control/tower should not be using that approach until the runway is restored to the same threshold that is in the FMS database.
