I share my fellow aviators frustration at the incomprehensible mess the NOTAM system has become. And then there is the problem of our dear FAA suddenly suddenly throwing TFR's at us. My practice these days is to file IFR or at least request "Flight Following".
The FAAs budget for 2023 is over 23 Billion dollars and the can`t get the NOTAM problem resolved before 2030. They all need to go back to school.
And here I thought they fixed all the problems when they changed the M to “Missions”.
We have asked the FAA to list NOTAMs by importance for many many years but the continue to list " the light on tower 5 miles away is inoperative" but leave "runway 26 is closed" way down in the NOTAM list.
Something should be updated 10 years ago...
While we're on pipe dream stuff can the FAA encode the ATIS as a digital sub carrier to allow capable radios to receive it and display as text (a light version of ACARS, more like how HD Radio works)
