I've learnt something from this: NOTAMS aren't nearly as heavily used in
the US as they are here.
I couldn't see how to make
www.runwayfinder.com show NOTAMs but
http://tfr.faa.gov/tfr_map_ims/html/index.html works quite nicely (though
won't show a task or flight plan) and does show NOTAMS. The shock was
seeing that it only lists 22 current NOTAMS for the whole USA and only 4
in California!
By contrast today in the UK we have 77 active and applicable below FL070,
another 23 that lack plottable co-ordinates (like many American SECURE
category NOTAMS), and another 60 that were been excluded from by my
filter (inactive today and/or inapplicable below FL070).
http://www.gregorie.org/temp/notams/ contains a NOTAMplot screenshot
showing NOTAMs that apply in East Anglia today below FL070. I also added
a 177 km task to show how it appears.
