Please remove the “More” and “++” buttons and display all info at once.

The “More” button shows NOTAMs that are hidden for some “reason” (it’s not like the ones not hidden are more important than others…). A person may inadvertently scroll down too far making the “More” invisible, causing the pilot to miss that there are more NOTAMs than the ones visible.

Also, eliminate the “++” button that, in most cases only shows one extra line that’s been hidden for some arbitrary reason (apparently there’s some”reason” to limit the initial display to two lines… cutesy?)

All these buttons do is add to the pilot’s workload.

I would like to see the reasons behind the decision to incorporate these buttons before requesting their removal.

I’d be curious too… although I highly doubt the usefulness of the truncated information presented (when the sections are collapsed)

Here’s another good (bad) example why the cutesy of collapsing is detrimental to the pilot.

All the collapsed NOTAMs read the SAME when collapsed! Either the pilot opens them one by one (ouch!), or use the top “++” to expand them all… But if one expands them all, the person will have to scroll them anyway, so why collapse in the first place…

Also, there’s a problem with the apostrophe in “O’Hare”… is showing as “'” which is the HTML encoding of an apostrophe. Oops!
