[quote=Jughead;499546]I fly this arrival a lot, and I'm just your average line pogue, but I don't understand the problem here. The letter states, "Here is the problem: The increase in flight crew workload created by the NOTAM requirements are causing airplanes to descend lower than the altitudes prescribed in the ELDEE Arrival procedure."

Why is that? If new crossing restrictions are issued via NOTAM, don't they supercede the published crossing restrictions? I've put those in the FMS (making the first restriction at, not at or above), and with some prior planning, updated winds, and maybe even a fake initial point 3nm from the first restriction, it seems to have worked fine for me.

What am I missing?

,,,,Yes, NOTAM supercedes STAR. Easier said than done at time for some. Like the 10 that filed through ASRS. And there are a lot more that don't file the report (pilots, controllers) and just pretend it didn't happen. This has been going on even before the NOTAM with the problem being multiple crossings with same altitude.

Easy to blame the flight crew. Even easier to fix the procedure with a permanent amendment (ELDEE4 ?)
