Anybody know of another way to check NOTAMS besides DINS (notams.jcs.mil)?

I've got my T-1 Nav check tomorrow and DINS has been down since yesterday.

Thanks in advance.

Call 1-800-WXBRIEF

FAA NOTAMs PAGE

www.duats.com is another helpfull one. need to register with it though.

https://www.notams.faa.gov/ -- I used it this morning for the same reason... Although, you probably already checked, so sorry I couldn't reply earlier.

where are your classmates to tell you the answer to that question ?

Typical USAF checkride...the kid shows up without NOTAMS because the site is down and they are toast. I know, I know...he/she didn't say they were taken down, but how many of us know of someone in "check section" that would take the poor kid down. Lame...

I've been wondering about NOTAMs, too. I keep looking for the reams of paper hanging from the wall in base ops. I can't seem to find them anymore so I just press and hope for the best.

haha -- OLD SCHOOL

All turned out OK. I talked to the FSS (800 WXBRIEF), they were pretty useless. But the best was notams.faa.gov, same exact page as the jcs.mil. To add to the pain, the network on base was down, no wx, no ahas/bam, and still no freakin notams. Nothing on checkride morning was business as usual, but it all worked out.

Thanks to all who offered advice/help.

1800WXBRIEF useless? I'm not sure what kind of crack is getting dished out in T-1 land, but FSS or duats.com will give you EVERYTHING YOU COULD POSSIBLY WANT I'm quite positive. Of course, you probably have to remember to ask for NOTAM D, L, and FDC NOTAMS if you want them to give ALL of them and not just local ones.

So I guess you didn't hook?

It isn't necessarily the service that was useless it was the employees that get ticked when you ask them to do their jobs. A pet peeve of mine anyway. I didn't have time for the full out brief and just wanted an abbreviated brief, especially NOTAMS. Whatever, its over now.

No Vetter, I didn't hook.

Congrats. One step closer...

Thanks Rainman...looking forward to those silver wings! 18 November.

Checking NOTAMS, technique only. Oh yeah, pass me another brew...I need to quickly drink it because our scheuled takeoff is in 5 hours!! Just kidding. That is unless you fly for America West.
