It could be embarassing to arrive somewhere planning on flying an approach that doesn't exist anymore. The major FDC gotcha is temporary flight restrictions. These tend to pop up on short notice like weeds after a spring rain. Busting one without realizing it would be a cinch. Without miring yourself down in worry and wasted time, the best you can do with FDC notams is print out the list and scan it quickly for ones that apply to your departure and destination.
Chances are slim that it'll be a problem.
That said, far from us to preach about checking the FDCs. We'll let you set your own level of obsession on this one. Return to AVweb welcome page . The AVweb Group. All rights reserved.
