Narrative:

This is a comment in response to callback #212. There is a story of a pilot who missed a NOTAM for a temporary restr area in a duat briefing. Most likely, this was a flight data center NOTAM. Most pilots (myself included) view flight data center NOTAMS as only pertaining to IFR flight and do not bother to check them for a VFR flight in good WX. Who wants to slog through many pages of airway and approach amendments every time? I believe safety would be improved if temporary flight restrs got moved out of the fdc NOTAMS and put in with the regular NOTAMS. At the very least, put in a local NOTAM referring the user to the flight data center section. Example: !hpn 01/001 NY99 tfr see fdc-xx/XXX for details. This would improve the visibility of these important NOTAMS many times.

Title: PLT RPTR SUGGESTS THAT FLT DATA CTR NOTAMS WITH TEMPORARY RESTRS SHOULD BE MORE AVAILABLE FOR PLTS WHO ARE PLANNING VFR FLTS. TEMPORARY FLT RESTRS SHOULD BE PUT IN REGULAR NOTAMS INSTEAD OF FDC NOTAMS.

I BELIEVE SAFETY WOULD BE IMPROVED IF TEMPORARY FLT RESTRS GOT MOVED OUT OF THE FDC NOTAMS AND PUT IN WITH THE REGULAR NOTAMS. AT THE VERY LEAST, PUT IN A LCL NOTAM REFERRING THE USER TO THE FLT DATA CTR SECTION. EXAMPLE: !HPN 01/001 NY99 TFR SEE FDC-XX/XXX FOR DETAILS.

Pilot reporter suggests that flight data center NOTAMS with temporary restrs should be more available for pilots who are planning VFR flts. Temporary flight restrs should be put in regular NOTAMS instead of fdc NOTAMS.
