Get your NOTAMS!

[docmirror]

Why use NOTAMS? Just come here and get expert direction...

Written by someone who's clearly never gone through peer review. The OP has a point to be made, so we are here to 'assist' him in solving his major problem.

OBTW, we pay enough in taxes, how about fixing the ATIS and solving the real problem. Ever seen the movie Brazil?

 

[ATCSSCT]

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.

 

[SixPapaCharlie]

Wait what about those of us that don't get the ATIS?
I don't think we can be included in the 99 percent because you wouldn't know that we didn't get the atis and as such wouldn't know that we didn't tad out notams

 

[Capt. Geoffrey Thorpe]

Light and Sporty Guy...my goodness. All i ask is pilots, at a minimum, get the notams applicable to the airports they are flying from, and flying to. Is that too much to ask? type into the google bar "notams", then click on the first site that comes up! your there! pilotweb.nas.faa.gov simply type in the airport ID's! and sure, go ahead and skip over the ones with the lights that are out on the obstruction antennas!

I do try and pick out the relevent stuff for the departure and destination airport from the standard dtc DUAT output. I also used to check the MLB or NFL schedules if I am flying up the Detroit River. Fortunately, SkyVector now puts the stadium stuff on the map - saved me from a NASCAR bust a few weeks ago. Plus a couple weather searches

More internet searches? Where does it end? It's getting to the point that it takes longer to brief a flight than to fly it.

 

[docmirror]

While we're on the subject, an ATCer who really cared about the ATIS would forgo the ATIS-D while it's broke, and find a cell phone, and record an ATIS message themselves during their shift.

But no, rather than find a workable solution, it's more important to squeeze a pilots nuts for not finding a notam telling pilots that the system that reports notams(in some cases) and other critical flight info is out of service. I could fix this pandemic problem in 1 hour of work, and have it back on the air until the ATIS was fixed right.

Thanks - not.

FWIW, after filing With Foreflight It gives you a nice briefing page that has links to departure and destination notams including specific links to taxiway, runway, NAV, Service, weather, PIREPS, AIRMETS, ect.

So you can filter down to just what you want to view at destination if you so choose to.

Yes, I usually look at destination and departure airport, but fall into the guilty masses who dont Look through the few hundred in between.

 

[Capt. Geoffrey Thorpe]

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!

I would think that wreckless would be a good thing.

But you do bring up a real problem. Sometimes there is a nugget buried in that steaming pile you get from the system. And it seems more than likely that a few pilots have given up on trying to find them. (I believe that a anticancer U.S. Senator said as much after landing on a runway NOTAMed closed.)

How does it get fixed?

 

[Marauder]

As was mentioned above, getting NOTAMs are like drinking from a fire hose. With the technology available, you would think it would be easy to just provide those NOTAMs along your route of flight. But unless you are flying with ForeFlight or Garmin Pilot, it is overwhelming to get these condensed to the important ones.

Instead, you are pounded with so much data that there is no way you can absorb it all. And even if you have them with you on a flight, how exactly do you wade through all of it? The concept of more is better doesn't work.

I do like how Garmin Pilot tries to help present some of it:

Unfortunately, there are 30 pages of these:

Why do I care about JFK in a briefing going 86 miles from KILG to KOXB?

 

[Capt. Geoffrey Thorpe]

A little punctuation and formatting would help. How hard would it be to un-click the caps lock key?

Not until coming here at least. Re-education is a bitter pill.

 

[Pedals2Paddles]

If the NOTAM system wasn't a cumbersome piece of junk that provides 160 pages of useless crap, mixed with one useful piece of information, more people might use it. Does this excuse people that don't do it? No. But it does explain it. Does this make it ok for the FAA to do nothing about it too? Absolutely not. They have a system. It is so stupid, 99% of the people required to use it, don't. This is a management and design problem, not just a user problem.

When I did my first actual IMC flight with my CFI, we did the usual FSS flight planning and briefing. We checked the NOTAMS. All 5 billion of them for our area. Guess what? In the mix of 5,204,299,752.4 useless NOTAMs in the greater NYC area, we missed the one and only useful one. That one and only useful NOTAM would have told as the the ILS glideslope we were tracking through the soup was out of service. Until the approach controller mentioned to someone else on frequency that the GS was out of service, we had no idea. It was on, we were tracking it, but it was undergoing service or something and didn't mean anything. For all we knew, we were following the needle into the side of a building totally blind to it. We both looked at our altitude of less than 1000agl, looked at each other concerned, said oh crap, and went missed. Not sure what we may or may not have actually "missed" since we were in IMC.

We were lucky that it didn't kill us. And if it did, the FAA would blame us for "not paying attention to the NOTAMs". Even though I highly doubt the FAA investigator could do any better "paying attention" to their own NOTAMs. So again, it isn't just a user problem or just an FAA problem. It is an FAA management problem, that results in a system design problem, that creates a user problem, that creates a safety problem, that gets blamed entirely on the user.

 

[ATCSSCT]

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 apparently pretty stupid.

 

[ATCSSCT]

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

 

[Pedals2Paddles]

Well this was probably 6 years ago. But I'm pretty sure we were cleared for the ILS approach. Which as I recall was also not a good thing. I think we should have been denied that and cleared for the localizer approach.

 

[ATCSSCT]

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."

 

[ATCSSCT]

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

 

[ElPaso Pilot]

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 apparently pretty stupid.

I'm so glad you brought this up, as the NOTAM system is a pet peeve of mine as well.

Since you mentioned you were from ILG and you use DUATS, I decided to plan a random trip on DUATS to, say, 0W3 -- a whole 28nm and maybe 15 minutes away.

I like to keep it simple as well, and use DUATS, usually on my phone. I don't rely on Airnav or the faa.gov website since the visit is not logged and therefore in the eyes of the FAA never occurred.

Below are the NOTAMS that DUATS returns. I don't think I need to say anything more.


(Well, maybe one thing. If anyone thinks this system isn't broken .... you're #@!&&@# crazy.)

[SCCutler]

Kev:

Thanks for popping in. It may appear that you're getting the sharp end of the stick here, but there is no question that, as pilots, many of us find the NOTAM system very difficult to effectively use.

What we hope for is, some day, to be better able to sift the wheat from the chaff. I like having this discussion, because I've already seen some helpful ideas, especially the use of Garmin Pilot and ForeFlight for better-sorted NOTAMs.

I would second the call made above - that you share some illustrative stories, things you've experienced and observed in your interactions with pilots that would be educational for all of us (and not just about NOTAMs).

Lastly, welcome to PoA!

 

[RV10flyer]

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 facsimile thereof). This INCLUDES the corporate pilots. I just thought it was noteworthy. Sorry if I upset anyone.

f. Controllers will issue pertinent information to pilots who do not acknowledge receipt of a broadcast or who acknowledge receipt of a broadcast which is not current.

I am sure this was a big one month headache when one is used to a computer doing it for them. Thanks for all of your hard work.

 

[Marauder]

I'm so glad you brought this up, as the NOTAM system is a pet peeve of mine as well.



Since you mentioned you were from ILG and you use DUATS, I decided to plan a random trip on DUATS to, say, 0W3 -- a whole 28nm and maybe 15 minutes away.



I like to keep it simple as well, and use DUATS, usually on my phone. I don't rely on Airnav or the faa.gov website since the visit is not logged and therefore in the eyes of the FAA never occurred.



Below are the NOTAMS that DUATS returns. I don't think I need to say anything more.





(Well, maybe one thing. If anyone thinks this system isn't broken .... you're #@!&&@# crazy.)

That was GREAT!!!!

 

[MooneyDriver78]

That was GREAT!!!!

Takes longer to read the NOTAMs then the actual flight.

 

[docmirror]

Isn't it funny, how the notam system became so bloviated after the pilot BOR?

EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY AND UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE...

Sounds like a policy statement to me. Where is the legislation that a republic adheres too? Is this for my safety? Hmmmmmmm.

 

[Gucci Pilot]

This INCLUDES the corporate pilots. I just thought it was noteworthy. Sorry if I upset anyone.

I've had this happen to me a few time. Not that I didn't check the NOTAMs, I just forgot about that one on approach. I was more concerned with the notams about:

• The long runway being closed
• The restricted area west of the approach path being active during my arrival
• The changes in MDA/DH for the ILS approach
• Taxiways C4, D2, and A4 not being able to accommodate the weight of my airplane
• Snow banks along certain taxiways/aprons which would for sure clip a wingtip

Some of those like weight bearing on taxiways and MDA/DH changes an ATC can't pimp me on and I have to rely on myself and my crew to make sure I don't do something stupid. I understand your frustration though. If I didn't pick up the ATIS, it's easier to just ask the tower instead of trying to dig through the notams while you're on approach.

We use www.notams.faa.gov to check our notams which is actually really nice because I can view presidential TFRs, then look at GPS WAAS notams, then chart notams, then center notams, then the airport notams for the airports of my choosing. Then when I am satified I can print only the notams that apply to me and print them out on a sheet of paper.

Disclaimer, it says in red print for DOD flight only. Use at your own will. The FAA really needs to certify a site like this.

 

[Pedals2Paddles]

My finger hurts from scrolling through that list of NOTAMs.

 

[docmirror]

11:04AM, check notams for a 12:00 departure. Begin reading.

11:21AM, thin the notams to moderately applicable.

11:35AM, get to the airport, preflight, clean windscreen, recheck weather at destination.

11:42AM. New notam published, destination has had a bomb scare, all surfaces closed to operation except LEO.

11:50AM, load everyone, pre-flight brief, start checklist.

11:55AM, engine start, check gauges, begin taxi to runway.

12:00, take off, and navigate to destination.

13:25PM, arrive near destination, No ATIS avail airport.

13:45, land, surrounded by feds, taken off in handcuffs. Arrested.(you know, like Martha King)

You violated a notam. Or -- not?

 

[ClimbnSink]

For shame, you need to know everything, everything, there are no exceptions. And by not knowing you caused all those LEOs paperwork. Just be glad they let you live.

You would probably be released with no *LEGAL* repercussions(you know, like Martha King)

 

[docmirror]

An arrest has "no repercussions"? Here - I clearly recall issues getting my clearances with several arrests and NO convictions, or indictments.

 

[denverpilot]

Can anyone tell me why the majority of pilots do NOT get their NOTAMS applicable to their flight before flying?

Here is a standard briefing for a 15 minute flight from KAPA to KBJC.

Which of these silly useless NOTAMs do you want me to memorize? Maybe the taxiway NOTAM at KPUB?

 

[petrolero]

Even when we "get" NOTAMs they are buried in a bunch of useless crap. And forget about those #@$%^& !FDC NOTAMs! Yes I look at the stupid things but I am here to register my vote that they suck!

We have to sift through them, decode the stupid things, and figure out what is important, whether they have become active yet or not. It is a PITA and anything that is a PITA will be skipped by some pilots. ForeFlight does a good job parsing NOTAMs but that's mostly airport or FDC notams that affect approaches, not Nav or Obs or other NOTAMs.

The NOTAM system needs to be updated.

 

[Gucci Pilot]

An arrest has "no repercussions"? Here - I clearly recall issues getting my clearances with several arrests and NO convictions, or indictments.

If you are getting "several arrests" for anything, I can see why you would have a problem with security clearance.

 

[docmirror]

Really? So, to you getting arrested = being convicted? I'm a law abiding, independent citizen who is not afraid to exercise his rights. Now I'm gonna scare you even more than you already are. I used to work on nuclear power and weapons plants. Yep, I really, really did.

Just cause you were arrested doesn't mean you are a terrorist. What your employer thinks of you could be entirely different. but you obviously didn't have an LEGAL repercussions.

What? How could you know that? Judgmental much? You have no idea what went on in my past. Nor are you likely too, but I assure you being arrested will mess you up 8 ways from sunday for more than just flying. I know from experience.

 

[gismo]

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.

Venting is OK. But if said vent demeans most of the rest of us for failure to use a system that's so broken that even those who want to comply regularly fail to do so, don't expect much sympathy (or agreement).

And for that matter, you asked a question and it was answered in several posts with the same general theme (trying to get useful info from the NOTAM system is frustrating and error prone so why bother). Unfortunately that answer probably doesn't make you feel better about getting the same query about the NOTAM'd ATIS.

 

[bullwinkle]

Maybe the FAA *likes* a hard to use, obfuscated system. If compliance is almost impossible to achieve, they can always find something to hang on you in any given flight...if they want to.

 

[MickYoumans]

Do you have a source for NOTAMS that are actually relevant to any particular flight?

In WingX on the DUATS page I can run a 'Route WX Briefing' for my flight plan. The results come back just for the area I will be flying and the various types of NOTAMS are grouped such that all runway NOTAMS are together, airspace, taxiway, apron and etc. have their own tab. It is pretty easy to skim through to pick out what is relavent to my flight.

 

[Gucci Pilot]

What? How could you know that? Judgmental much? You have no idea what went on in my past. Nor are you likely too, but I assure you being arrested will mess you up 8 ways from sunday for more than just flying. I know from experience.

I'll take your word for it

And I thought I was the only one that thought the notam system was a joke. I really hoped the foreflight for would work some magic on that mess...

Speaking of ATIS, anyone notice it is getting pretty long at some places. Seems to take forever just to get the altimeter and sky conditions......

Agreed. Altimeter, Wind, Sky Conditions, and Temporary Conditions- that's all an ATIS should have.
