Height filtering of NOTAMS and alerts

Group: Forum Members Posts: 206, Visits: 3.2K	Two ideas in one... 1. Would it be possible to move all of the "low level" NOTAMs to the end of the brief so that, for example, all the balloons, cranes and UAS flights below 400ft are easier to skip over without missing a significant NOTAM in their midst? 2. When flying at (say) 2000ft, could alerts like "may ahead, climb above 1,200'" be disabled because I'm already significantly (500ft+) above the obstruction so I don't need to climb? BTW love the new engine start/stop and on/off blocks buttons, although the presentation of the data in the post flight log is a little confusing. Keep up the good work, T67M

One NOTAMed as 79ft AGL.Agreed, this drivel shouldn’t be in the system, but it is. Playing devil's advocate, this "drivel" may be relevant to a helicopter pilot planning to land in the vicinity, but for most GA aircraft, it's best skipped over. That should (IMO) be a conscious decision by the pilot, not a blanket decision taken for everyone by the NOTAM office/SkyDemon, however they do have the power to present the data in a clearer way.

There was another one this morning Mike, 72ft AGL, in the congested area. If you don't bump into that in your helicopter, you're likely to hit a lamp post instead. <300ft shouldn't be accepted into the system, but in the congested area even that is lower than the towerblocks. We really need to filter it out.
