Default 2009 Nall report and Soaring Safety

Controlled airspace isn't as heavily used as in Europe, either!
Simple NOTAMs such as a closed taxiway, snow on the runway, or a
light not working don't make it on the map. They would be in a
briefing for your route, along with PIREPs etc. Of course, pilot
reports of turbulence are often a good sign for soaring!
Why are security NOTAMs typed "caps lock", which seems a poor way to
communicate? Most people receiving an e-mail typed in caps would hit
the delete button.

I've learnt something from this: NOTAMS aren't nearly as heavily used in
the US as they are here.
