you'll see that he was nabbed for violating the
FAR that says you must obtain all availiable info concerning your
flight (don't have the FAR in front of me). That is interpreted to
mean you need to know about weather, runway lengths, NOTAMs, etc...


What if you decide, while you're in the air, to land at an attractive field
(which turns out to be closed by the NOTAM you didn't think to ask for because
you weren't going to land there originally)?

Good question. Usually when I receive NOTAMs for a flight, they
also include the ones for airports in the general vicinity of my
route.

Technically, I don't think your scenario would relieve you of the
responsibility of obtaining all available information. If I planned
and got NOTAMs for a flight from PHX to LAX and decide to go to San
Diego in mid-flight, I expect the FAA would still expect me to obtain
the info relevent to my new destination.
