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!

Those were excluded. Sorry, I should have said that my list was purely en-
route NOTAMS.

Anything else is of little interest to UK glider pilots since we don't
usually fly from GA airfields and only talk to ATC if we need to enter
through an ATZ or land out on a GA field.

Why are security NOTAMs typed "caps lock", which seems a poor way to
communicate?

Thats the way they appeared on the NOTAM list.

Most people receiving an e-mail typed in caps would hit the
delete button.

So? That was a single 8 letter upper case word. Who trod on *your* toe?
