My last public service announcement

That's right, my last PSA. EVER... That having been said this PSA is to introduce a new format for my rants. NOTEO - Notice To EveryOne... For you aviation laymen out there, part of my job as an FSS is to issue NOTAMs, or Notice To AirMen. The purpose of these is to inform pilots about things such as changes to facilities, and information pertaining to aviation safety. These NOTAMs are filed in sequential numbers, with a NOTAM file for every airport, and Flight Information Region, as well as a Headquarters region to cover nation wide stuff. They can be revised, cancelled or expire on their own. It is my intention to issue these NOTEOs in much the same format. They, for the most part, will be addressed to specific groups, though sometimes they will blanket everyone. Many will not have expiry dates, but rather a set of circumstances. Although from time to time I might revise, or cancel them as I see fit. After each NOTEO I will give a small, yet humorous, story explaining the reason for issuing them. So here we go. I'll write an example so you who don't read NOTAMs regularly can understand what I'm talkin about:











Good bye PSAs, hello NOTEO. Stay Tuned, NOTEO 060001 comin right up.
