What's In It For The Users?

摘要

Aside from placing keywords in Notams and the possibility of graphic depictions, when appropriate, what's in the FAA's plans for a modernized Notam system to benefit users? Moreover, what do those who have been watching this process closely think some of the pitfalls may be for the typical personal-aircraft operator? In January 2009, the AOPA made a series of recommendations on Notam modernization to the FAA. Those recommendations included these highlights: In addition to access via Duat and flight service, updated Notams should continue to be available through the avenues presently in use. "The updated notam system should also be designed so that in the future pilots can more frequently utilize graphics and other formats that are easier to use and less cumbersome to interpret," AOPA said.
