Here is a question for you know-it-all gurus....
It is my understanding that FDC NOTAMs are published because something important has changed and didn't make it into a publication in a timely fashion. If that is true (it is, right?), I am curious....
To my home airport there are two GPS approaches that show 400 and 800 feet MDAs. There is a NOTAM out that changes them to 1280 and 1000 MDAs.
The big deal is that I have watched over six approach plate updates come and go with no changes to the MDA. The FDC NOTAM is still issued but half the people at my airport don't even know about it and fly in to 400 and/or 800 MDAs...
Is this normal????!
