A Field Guide to NOTAMs

[corethatthermal]

What about categorizing the notams like VFR and IFR area and on airport and further arrange them from most relevant to least relevant from new notams to older notams ?

They should put them in the ATIS instead.

I really liked the one where they said you had to descend via the STAR.... that thing where paranoid controllers won’t clear you below the restrictions and most aircraft are VNAV protected anyways.

How about Nav Canada make something easy for a change and provide a clickable link in the notam box on their flight planning page to the new notam site, instead of having it still let you enter the airport you want notams for and just going to a notam that says there is no more notams here. But shit, they've even made you can even print that off to keep for future reference if you'd like, in case you've forgotten there are no notams there anymore.

Why not list them by categories? Runway closures, runway threshold displacement, taxiway closures, changes to approach minima... something like that. And then sort by relevance within the category. And maybe some colour-coding? And maybe make the info visual. Wouldn't it be nice to open a Jeppesen chart on your EFB, and have it communicate with the NOTAM system and highlight closed runways and taxiways in red?.. And same for the NOTAMs with useless coordinates... do it with SIGMETs too... Ah, one can dream, I suppose.

And the headings in plain language, along with the NOTAMs themselves.

A selection box that lets you identify your aircraft type, and have NOTAM's auto-select things that are relevant. A Cessna 150 won't care about a ramp weight restriction, for example. Or that the helipad is closed. Or that JetA isn't available.

I agree with pulling all the NOTAM's that have been there forever and don't need to be repeated... 737 Max8, RWY 03 at YYJ, etc.
