They tell you things relative to your flight (pilots) that are nor normal. A parachute drop near your flight path. Long range artillery from a military base. A drone convention.

Since it used to Notice to Airmen it tells you the FAA has turned woke.

You know it's not just men flying these days right? What's wrong with using a proper descriptor for the notice?
I get it, it's change and some will always fight every change no matter what. But woke in my mind is trying to recognize something that doesn't exist or make something small seem like it's a bigger deal and that's not what this is.

It may very well be just a minor correction and had it happened at any point in history other than now, I would agree that it wasn't a woke move.

But it didn't.

I don't care. You asked why and I provided an answer. <shrug>

Maybe at one point.

Now it's 80+% CYA bull**** like 1/4 of the taxi lights on a given taxiway being burnt out.

Notams need a serious rework.

The NOTAM process is horribly outdated. I have issued NOTAMs and i can tell you first hand it is a mess. Has been for years.
