lol

because I'm an air traffic controller and VERY few have the NOTAMS!

I'm obviously not communicating very well. Its been a while I know but I will try this again. When a pilot flies from Point A to Point B, there is no reason why he/she cannot get the NOTAMS for the destination airport. NONE! Getting the NOTAMS for every airport in between and/or within a certain...

sorry if it was said earlier, but what became of this particular DPE?

and believe me if something bad had happened and the controller had NOT cleared you that way, HE wouldve been in deep kimche!

That was my point. The controller shouldve indicated to you in some way about the glideslope being out, especially if you heard him say something about it to someone else. If there was no localizer approach published, he shouldve told you "cleared ILS rwy ( ) approach, glideslope unusable."

Pedals just curious...what did the controller clear you for when you got the approach clearance for that approach you spoke of?

ILG sure has a lot of NOTAMS. Still only took me about 3 mins to pinpoint the ones I would be concerned with that were applicable. I dont use the programs on ipads. I use DUATS for weather and get NOTAMS off Airnav or the faa.gov website. Easy and simple to read. I use the KISS method. Cuz I'm...

as i said, the ATIS was fixed...took about a month tho. NFCT so no help from FAA. sorry i was just venting with this thread, lesson learned.

peed in my wheaties, lol...i like that one

and why did i start this thread? Because at the airport tower i work at, our ATIS equipment went out, and wasnt fixed, for about a month. It was NOTAM'd out from day 1. 99% of pilots, no exaggeration, on initial call would say "i'm not able to pick up the ATIS, is it out of service?" (or some...

lecturer? prolly not, lol...if i brought to light what i intended to, I'm done. Fly Safe. :-) As a side note, I'm also a pilot.

Okie...my subject is reference to getting NOTAMS...but since you brought it up, if you dont, and its considered wreckless by the FAA, then yes, FAR 91.13 would also apply!

wow...i sense a bit of hostility Cowboy. i am no hot shot, but receiving (not just downloading them) your notams and memorizing them are two different things, surely you can agree.
