Can anyone tell us how many NOTAMs are currently in force at (a) PSA, and (b) Milano FIR/UIR?**

Quote from Hotel Tango:
"Chris, in my opinion "cleared to land runway 04L, caution runway 04R is closed" may actually create more of a potential for misunderstanding with say a busy crew as the last verbal reference is 04R."

Yes, you make a very good point. Perhaps "... I say again, runway zero-four left." would do? Alternatively: "Easy XXX, caution: runway zero-four right is closed. You are cleared to land on runway zero-four left."

I wonder what the crew said in acknowledgment to the landing clearance.

** [EDIT] I should have added: Roma FIR.
