Help with SNOWTAMs!
Guys
I know it's not an ATC issue, but if any of you are sitting around with a snowtam decode close by any chance of reproducing it here? I'm trying to prepare for a sim session on Tuesday and I cannot find a decode anywhere at home or on the web! Don't really want to have to drive into work tomorrow to look at a Jepp!
Many thanks and sorry for infiltrating your forum!!!!!!
