Which notam source - NOAA or Eurocontrol and bizzare notam time span issues

Can anyone work out why this EGHE notam exists via NOAA but not via Eurocontrol

Maybe it was cancelled and NOAA missed the cancellation notice

Nympsfield, United Kingdom

Just phoned EGHE. Still active. A mystery; the man says they will re-issue it.

There was another case here with ETMN, where nothing was on EAD but NOAA had them. We modded the EuroGA airport database Notam code to handle that (if EAD returns null, go to NOAA) but it may not be a complete solution if only some notams go to one and not the other. It really complicates the code. The ETMN case is still the case right now.

Can anyone check this with popular flight planning apps? EGHE and ETMN. I would expect European apps to get it via the Eurocontrol B2B interface, and Foreflight or Garmin Pilot to get it from NOAA.

It’s visible in EasyVFR.

It gets more interesting. For EGHE, Eurocontrol returns

Can anyone make sense of the above?

Is this an issue with the selection date? They should all be aerodrome notams.

The Autorouter ones come from a briefing produced for a flight tomorrow, but I can’t see anything in the dates which should make some disappear tomorrow.

Looks like the Autorouter missed this one, which became valid today 1105, but the briefing pack was generated 1615. Possibly their server grabs the notams once a day? If this is correct that is potentially quite dangerous.

Exactly how to you get NOTAMs from Eurocontrol? When I use EAD to get NOTAMs, I get all six — including the one about Sunday departure slots.

ESKC (Uppsala/Sundbro), Sweden

I use a certain website (not mine) which gets it from there. Maybe I need to look at EAD itself?

Under https://www.ead.eurocontrol.int/fwf-eadbasic/restricted/user/ino/brief_aerodrome.faces

I see only

If I tick everything I get

which is still short.

If I use this site (which gets it from god knows where, but this is what I always use for UK hacking, along with half the UK)

https://notaminfo.com/ukmap

I get
