View Full Version : Historical NOTAMs

Today I was a bit curious about what NOTAMs were issued when Mount Saint
Helens exploded in Washington back in 1980. Is there a place on the Web where
very old NOTAMs can be looked up (for free)?

No. I was doing some research on the effect of volcanic eruptions on
aviation.

WOW! They certainly don't write NOTAMS that way anymore. I think it's a 9-11
thing.

No need, you don't fly and the effects are well known.

In October of 2005 I was circling around Mt. St. Helens and noticed that
the visitor center was abandoned. On a nice day with steam pluming from
the crater, the visitor center is never empty. Turns out that they had
just issued a TFR within a 10-mile radius of the mountain due to
volcanic activity. Got home to hear that they had evacuated the visitor
center. I wasn't too worried about violating the TFR because I
generally fly a 10-mile radius anyway.


Here's a photo from the flight:

(It's actually Hood, St Helens, Jefferson.)

Apparently, the "Temporary Flight Restriction" from Oct. 2005 is still
active: http://tfr.faa.gov/save_pages/detail_5_9066.html although
they've reduced the radius from 10 to 1.5 miles.

In your research, how many volcanoes did you find that had any effect
on aviation in the past 50 years?

Well....I've done no research, but I know of at least one.

A B-747 flying in the South Pacific area had all four engines
flame-out due to volcanic ash. Once out of the cloud, the crew
was able to restart the engines. ATC routed traffic around that
area for some time.

Just about every erupting volcano.

How many is that and what are the percentages?

BA 9 was the one south of the equator. It flew through the volcanic ash
from an eruption in Indonesia. Lost all 4 engines and had the windscreen,
nose, and leading edges abraided from the impact with the particles. They
could NOT see out of the windscreen for the rest of the flight.

I didn't count them. Given the extreme danger from volcanic ash, just about
any eruption warrants some type of warning, although that isn't always
sufficient to keep over-confident private pilots away from the danger.

You really aren't doing "research", for if you were, the first thing
you would obtain is the total number of volcanic eruptions.

Then, if you had some special interest in their effects on private pilots,
you would get the number that occured where private pilots could possibly
be flying.

So it would seem your real objective is to just start another ****ing
contest.

Identify one private pilot who was taken down by volcanic ash. You're just
excrement wired for sound Anthony. ******.

Anthony can't even start a ****ing contest correctly.

All I asked for was a source for historical NOTAMs, which no one has yet been
able to give me.

You **** everyone off with your 'tude then no one wants to help you out.

Yep. Maybe it's not a matter of "able to give." My ground instruction
rate is forty bucks an hour and nobody here is obligated to give anybody
anything.

Volcanic Ash NOTAMS are called "ASHTAMS" which is a ridiculous mangling
of a perfectly good acronym for Notice to Airmen. "Ashes to Airmen?
That makes as much sense as "workaholic." ("My name is Chris. I'm
addicted to workahol.")

SNOTAM, BIRDTAM... DUMBTAM as UFOTAMs. If you're hauling hookers, file
a HO-TAM.

I could give it to you if you paid for it. For free, you get what you have
contributed to the aviation newsgroups: NOTHING.

Only a handful of people find me irritating, but they are also the most vocal
in any group, as the two personality characteristics are often found together.
Since they are also among the least intelligent, they are rarely able to
answer my questions, and try to divert attention from that fact with their
rants. I've been dealing with such people for a very long time on USENET, and
I'm expert at it.

Actually, noone finds you irritating, just idiotic, and the only thing
youre expert at is acting the tit.

The guy just asked a simple question, and everyone starts bitching
about it. It doesn't seem like HE is the one trying to start a
"****ing contest".

There have been many more!

If you are looking for effect on airliner ops, lots.

They now stay away from the plumes and that is an effect.

An encounter is something to be avoided.
