The crux of the issue is that the vast majority of commercial pilots have some level of operational support. So the NOTAMS AICs etc pretty much come ready for consumption.

As a PPL you used to have 40-ish pages of the old A8 briefing to read through - which covered the whole of the UK and was in more of less lattitude order.

Now you need a PC, internet connection and still have to read through a good deal of irrelevant verbiage - and this 'service' is supposedly aimed directly at our requirements!!!!!

It can be a great deal easier. All this has been thrashed out in this and outer fora. Perhaps it needs our flying lawyer to defend some of these people - showing just how poor these arrangements are?
