Extrapolated further: “Some taxiways in the US are closed.” “Some approach minimums have changed in the US”
NOTAMS checked.
Absolutely genius.
The FAA kind of already does this when ATC advises you something you have asked to do will be "at your own risk." I have never had a situation where those nice tower people had any physical risk, it is ALWAYS at MY risk. Assume bird activity, unlit towers, and taxis closures all the time! You guys are definitely on to something...
