I'm sure a lot of us stop reading a NOTAM when we see "ALL UNMANNED ACFT SYSTEM (UAS) FLT OPS ARE PROHBITED...", but that could get you into trouble. In the NOTAM below, manned aircraft restrictions are tagged on to the end of the NOTAM.

I seems to me that manned aircraft restrictions should come first since the also apply to UAS, and additional UAS restrictions should be at the end.

FDC 3/4692 ZLA PART 1 OF 2 NV..AIRSPACE BEATTY, NV..TEMPORARY FLIGHT RESTRICTIONS. NOVEMBER 27-DECEMBER 27, 2023 LOCAL. PURSUANT TO 49 USC 40103(B)(3), THE FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION (FAA) CLASSIFIES THE AIRSPACE DEFINED IN THIS NOTAM AS 'NTL DEFENSE AIRSPACE'. PILOTS WHO DO NOT ADHERE TO THE FOLLOWING PROC MAY BE INTERCEPTED, DETAINED AND INTERVIEWED BY LAW ENFORCEMENT/SECURITY PERSONNEL. ANY OF THE FOLLOWING ADDITIONAL ACTIONS MAY ALSO BE TAKEN AGAINST A PILOT WHO DOES NOT COMPLY WITH THE RQMNTS OR ANY SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS OR PROC ANNOUNCED IN THIS NOTAM: A) THE FAA MAY TAKE ADMINISTRATIVE ACTION, INCLUDING IMPOSING CIVIL PENALTIES AND THE SUSPENSION OR REVOCATION OF AIRMEN CERTIFICATES; OR B) THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT MAY PURSUE CRIMINAL CHARGES, INCLUDING CHARGES UNDER 49 USC SECTION 46307; OR C) THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT MAY USE DEADLY FORCE AGAINST THE AIRBORNE ACFT, IF IT IS DETERMINED THAT THE ACFT POSES AN IMMINENT SECURITY THREAT. PURSUANT TO 14 CFR 99.7, SPECIAL SECURITY INSTRUCTIONS (SSI), ALL UNMANNED ACFT SYSTEM (UAS) FLT OPS ARE PROHIBITED: WI AN AREA DEFINED AS 10NM RADIUS OF 365358N1160255W (BTY064034.2) 2311272359-2312272359 END PART 1 OF 2 FDC 3/4692 ZLA PART 2 OF 2 NV..AIRSPACE BEATTY, NV..TEMPORARY FLIGHT SFC-10000FT MSL EFFECTIVE 2311272359 UTC (1559 LOCAL 11/27/23) UNTIL 2312272359 UTC (1559 LOCAL 12/27/23). ADDITIONAL RESTRICTIONS APPLY TO MANNED AIRCRAFT OPERATIONS: 1. ALL ACFT ENTERING OR EXITING THE TFR MUST BE ON AN ACT IFR OR VFR FLT PLAN WITH A DISCRETE CODE ASSIGNED BY AN AIR TFC CTL (ATC) FAC. ACFT MUST BE SQUAWKING THE DISCRETE CODE PRIOR TO DEP AND AT ALL TIMES WHILE IN THE TFR. 2. ALL ACFT ENTERING OR EXITING THE TFR MUST REMAIN IN TWO - WAY RADIO COM WITH ATC. 2311272359-2312272359 END PART 2 OF 2
 
It's getting to where all flights will need to be under atc control.
 
Wouldn't this show up on FF as a TFR?
 
The words TEMPORARY FLIGHT RESTRICTIONS at the beginning of the NOTAM ...
 
Reading comprehension matters.

Clarity of writing also matters. As a small example, who the F cares that it's pursuant to 49 USC 40103(B)(3) and that the FAA is classifying the airspace as NTL Defense Airspace? Just say what the TFR is, where it is, when it is and who it applies to. That 9 line paragraph in all caps could easily be about three bullet points in legible type and words.
