Right, but on one occasion, I remember hearing a controller ask a
pilot if he had the weather and NOTAMS for a particular airport he

was
intending to do a practice approach at. The pilot responded that he
had the weather, but not the NOTAMS. The controller made him do a

few
holds until he had a chance to bring up the NOTAMS to read to him.

The
reason for the NOTAM was the one and only runway was closed. I'm

not a
controller, but I'm pretty sure there is a rule that states a plane
can't be cleared for an approach until the controller is sure the
pilot has all the relevant information, including weather and

notams.

I am a controller, there is no such rule.


Well then it's an unwritten rule.


No it isn't you fjukktard.


You should be notamed as an aerial hazard.
