DUATS will not provide all the notams.


Seems like it actually does. Perhaps the information was posted after
your flight but the DUATS standard briefing has:

!MWA 12/002 MWA 20 ILS GP OTS

!FDC 5/1241 MWA FI/T WILLIAMSON COUNTY REGIONAL, MARION, IL.
ILS RWY 20, AMDT 11A...
S-ILS MINIMUMS NA.
DISTANCE FAF TO MAP 4.57 NM.
DELETE ALL REFERENCE TO MM.


If anything, DUATS seems to provde too much info and the principal risk
is missing the wheat for the chaff...

I feel much safer with DUATS and the other sources on the Internet than
depending on a carbon based unit reading some of the same info to me
over the phone...
