easy... we copy and paste them onto the bottom of the flight plan. a 4 page flight plan across the N.A. easily becomes a 32 pager with all the origin/dest/alt/etp and refile airports.
This is in addition to the regular notams in the wx packet.
notams suck.
LOL, yes but that is part of the problem. Like I said they are in the flight pl...erm...book. How does your Dispatch office handle them. Like abxdx said, we currently plot them out to track them. Do other offices have a site they can go to and have that, do they plot them as we do, or are they just ignored. Lol, j/k about ignoring them.
EDIT: For an example, if you have a flight from Japan to Hong Kong, you skirt the edges of many of the active areas to and from. With just the lat/long in the NOTAMs you would never know if your flight is going through the area without plotting them out. These US military areas are not so far east to have an impact from the Guam to Narita flight that was posted earlier as an example. Going to Southern China, Taiwan, Vietnam or Thailand they are in play. Throw a typhoon in there (which seem to be about every other week) and you have routing issues. Plotting takes so many man hours, it bites.
