NOTAMs – Notice to Airmen – will be familiar to all pilots. It’s one of those systems that we all seem to accept but if we stand back and take a look at it, it’s clear the system is broken. Written in an archaic format with the strangest of acronyms, pilots could be forgiven for missing important safety critical information. A case in point is Dublin Airport with 24 active NOTAMs spanning 3 A4 pages (see here)! For any pilots who feel the pain of scrolling through pointless NOTAMs on a 4 or 6-sector day, grab a coffee and enjoy this comical 7-minute video pointing out how ridiculous the system really is.
