    NOTAMs are redundant info and anything critical should be covered by ATC. The example our wonderful Today Show used was "alerting pilots that a certain runway is closed". Well last time I piloted an aircraft the tower instructed my on which runway to use- it wasn't up to PIC. Birds in the area? ATIS is updated every 15 minutes. This should not have happened.

    Maybe it's cover for an actual hack

    Which airport (s) update their ATIS every 15 minutes? The normal interval is one hour, unless they have to issue a special due to rapidly changing conditions.

    With that said, you're absolutely correct. NOTAMs have become useless gibberish. Like you said, if it's critical, it'll be covered by ATIS. Also, an airline's dispatch department isn't going to launch an airplane if there are limiting factors at the departure and destination airports.

    Also, as you mentioned, ATC will direct you to the operating runway and they'll keep you out of closed taxiways, etc.

    There are many resources available to the PIC that are way more useful than the antiquated NOTAM system.

    Been a while since Ive been in the left seat and I was thinking 15 minutes for ATIS. But then again I live in the south and weather changes that quickly.

    Private- But Delta was my main customer for a little over three years. Worked with all groups - IT/Marketing/Call Centers/Weather Monitoring/Gate Agents/Crown Room... Was on campus in Atl and MSP most days. Fun to have a front row view of a daily hobby. I went to the sims a few times but never got to run one- always wanted to.
