Well Done AsA Pilot Briefing
I just noticed a couple of new menu's for the web based pilot briefing service. Now there is a way in which you can check all the restricted areas for their activity prior to launching.
Well done AsA. This is an excellent addition.

Yes, and it's presented in a very easy to interpret format, including restricted areas that are normally active (i.e., deactivated by NOTAM.) Previously you had to spend hours studying the charts trying to work out which ones were always active and which ones were notamed etc.

Oh the FAA are bluddy Brilliant. Mind you with TFR's poping up because of VIP movements etc, they have to come up with something good to prevent VCA's. (or whatever they call them over there)
Next will be a graphical interpretation of the Weather.

"FAA are bluddy Brilliant"
I think they had to be, I have seen on US based fora accounts of pilots asking FSS asking about TFRs over sporting events and getting evasive answers like, "How would I know when a [team] is playing at home..." And these were the old-style FSS that gave a buggar...
"Next will be a graphical interpretation of the Weather"
Erm, like:

http://aviationweather.gov/
http://www.nws.noaa.gov/
Their national radar image is pretty cool also, I think they may have one or two more sensors than Oz...

Or even see what the current airport delays are:

When you are looking for something on the FAA site you may not find what you were after, but the idle will find something interesting

What would be even better is if you could check the restricted areas (and get notams for locations etc) that are 200 miles left and right of track. Not a difficult thing to implement, just a bit of mathematics involved. There is a US notam site (think it might be US DoD actually) that allows you to do radius searches etc . (E.g. Gimme all notams and weather for locations and restricted areas within 60 nm of YXXX)
