I haven't quite figured out which is more ridiculous. Changing it to begin with or changing it back. I suspect it's a toss-up.

Or actual NOTAM reform so that I'm not presented with 9 pages of various VOR radials and random comm tower lights being INOP so that I can see things that may actually present a real danger to my flight?

IDK. I kind of feel like that unlit tower 5.7nm NW of the field at 63' AGL is critical information, as is the scheduled model rocket launch 3 weeks from now 87.6 miles north east of my location that will be active for 1 hour.
How can I reasonably go fly and consider myself a safe pilot if I'm not equipped with this information?

Exactly…I mean, if you have an engine failure and have to land off-airport, you’d definitely want to know about the tower. And unforecast headwinds that slow you down enough that the rocket launch could be a factor…
UPDATE: I spoke too soon... I just found this: https://www.faa.gov/regulations_pol...fm/go/document.information/documentID/1043524
The document does look official... But there is NO other reference to it anywhere on faa.gov or anywhere else that I can find. So I wonder if this guy is doing a one off in his own region.

What about the Airman's Information Manual or position and hold?

oh I can easily answer that question
I've had folks offer one or the other, but without taking a political viewpoint, it sems to come out in the wash.
:duno: Why would you expect more than one link on https://www.faa.gov to an FAA notice? Page where they mention the notice and link to it is typical.
What "region" do you speak of? The notice is from AJV-P, which handles a lot of air traffic matters.
I'm still holding out for a Constitutional amendment banning Astroturf and the designated hitter.

Don’t care as long as they let me know when they are launching rockets over the Gulf of America.

If they do, I assume that they no longer have to comply with 91.511(f) or 91.225 (d)(5).
My bad. Read it to quickly and thought he was a regional guy.

Since it was changed for ridiculous reasons, changing it back seems sensible. No reason to allow rediculosity to persist just because it exists.

Yeah, if you happen to find yourself at 63 feet AGL while still 5 miles from your intended destination, you've got bigger problems to worry about.

Notice to Air 'Mericans!
Makes sense since avians don't seem to read them anyway.
§107.1 Applicability.
(a) Except as provided in paragraph (b) of this section, this part applies to the registration, airman certification, and operation of civil small unmanned aircraft systems within the United States. This part also applies to the eligibility of civil small unmanned aircraft systems to operate over human beings in the United States.
All will be right with the world when the Dodgers return to Brooklyn.
Let’s compromise. For high-wing pilots it’s “air missions” and for low-wing pilots it’s “airmen.”

...and we won’t need a version for RW pilots since they won’t read them anyway.

Wait... haven't you been deported yet?
Look, once Canada becomes a state none of this will be a concern anymore. Be patient; probably coming by summer.

Now, they're really not American though - barely Canadian to be honest (oh boy will I be hated by some people for this post haha).
