Duats is OK for human use, but it's a pain if you're trying to automate anything. I don't know of any automated method. But, one of the DUAT vendors, I don't recall which one off-hand, makes it pretty easy by requesting a single location briefing and including FDC NOTAMs specific to that location. It you err and include general FDC NOTAMs you end up with all that mostly useless BS. One of the problems with FDC notams is there's so much volume, and so little of it is actually relevant to any flight. It would be nice to have a system that let you tick of which airports you were interested in, and it would just gather up the approach plate PDFs and find any associated FDC notams automatically. I suppose I've been living dangerously, but I havn't looked at an AFD in years. When I was a Jepp user, the added info came with the Jepp kit. Now, I find that I get everything I need to know about an airport from one or another web site. I can't remember the last time I got someplace and didn't know something I needed to know in advance. Give your method a test. Check both Runway 3 at PHLI (Lihue, Hawaii) and Runway 15 at KASE (Aspen, Colorado) and see if you get the VGSI restrictions for both of those runways. If you do, you likely don't need the AF/D either. Neither AOPA's nor Aeroplanner airport directories for those two airports provide that information. |
