Ask and you shall recieve

This is an extension of a thread from a couple weeks ago about NOTAMs (http://forums.jetcareers.com/general...dc-notams.html), but I thought it deserved it's own thread.

Several people were saying that they wanted to get all NOTAMs (both L and D) applicable to their flight, but not all the other extraneous ones. Well, it seems as if the FAA is revamping NOTAM dissemination.

Beginning Jan. 28, 2008, all new local, or L, notams will be reclassified as D notams and added to the national notam system. In addition, each new D notam will be preceded by a keyword that indicates the area affected, such as navigation lighting, runway, ramp, or airspace. [Download a graphical depiction.]

That means for the first time pilots will be able to get all relevant notams, including those that affect only their destination airport, without calling flight service.

It's about time!

In an update to this thread, our releases just changed and they've adjusted how NOTAM's are displayed and it's a heck of a lot easier to find what I'm looking for now (in my opinion, I'd be interested to hear what the other Express guys have to say).
