This stuff is such cringe, it is the type of response you see from jaded boomers more focused on box-ticking and punching out as opposed to doing anything new.

This is a situation where tossing the whole damn thing out and starting over again would be productive. The systems that lead to the creation of these half-fossilized government projects (that still don't work!) will not change and needs to be tossed.

The problem with replacing NOTAMs is that it actually is a fairly simple system that works pretty well from a technical standpoint.

The biggest issues in general relate to the data itself and the processes involved.
