Does FSS notify ATC facilities when a nearby VOR is going OTS for a few weeks? More specifically, would the guys in Tampa tower and/or approach get any sort of notification from St. Petersburg FSS when the La Belle (LBV) VOR is scheduled to be taken down for maintenance? I had a personal experience with Tampa not having a clue that the nearby VOR was OTS, and was wondering if this was just another side effect of the lousy FSS situation as of recent.
