000 FAUS41 KKCI 010045 FA1W BOSC FA 010045 ... SYNOPSIS...UNAVBL DUE TO LENGTH LIMIT OF FA.



Have you ever seen that before? Does it mean that perhaps the synopsis was not included but may be found elsewhere?

Thank you, Scott! So if I see a truncated FA it should be warning that a lot of wx is going on.


The AWC has asked the FAA many times to increase the character limit size.

This sentence implies the FAA has control over the size of wx products. How does that work, is the NWS and NOAA a branch of FAA now?
