Flyin home today and was on FF with Oakland Center. Another plane was inbound for Paso Robles (KPRB) which is an uncontrolled airport serviced by Oakland Center. Center tells aircraft:
"...Contact Hawthorne Flight Service Station on 122.4 and report back confirmation of NOTAMS".
After a few confused back and forths and finally reporting back pilot inquires why he was sent to FSS for NOATMS?
ATC respond kinda pizzy "It is a new procedure, you reported one minute weather but not NOTAMS and you can get them from a briefer, FSS or I can read them verbatim which I don't have time to do..."
By his responses I think he was a confused as I was listening to the conversation.
Anyone know of an ATC procedure that now requires you to confirm NOTAMS as well as AWOS/ATIS to ATC?
