You see a NOTAM that says, “Aerodrome closed due to WIP …” Why is this airport closed?

There's work in progress that somehow makes the airport unusable.
Water has inundated the property.
Exceptionally high winds in proximity to the airport.
It's a typo. Should say VIP, and it means the airport is on an election stop.

All NOTAMs are in local time for the airport in question

True
False

It’s 1030 Zulu on July 11, 2012, and you’re heading out for your favorite breakfast jump to a nearby field. During a quick check of weather and NOTAMs, you see this for your destination: “AIRSPACE AIRSHOW ACFT 5000/BLW 5 NMR AIRPORT AVOIDANCE ADZD WEF 1207111000-1207111200.” It’ll take 45 minutes to get to the destination airport and land. Does this NOTAM ruin your plans?

Yes. The airspace will be closed by the time you get there
No. The NOTAM will no longer be in effect by the time you arrive.
Maybe. It will be in effect, but you can ignore this kind of NOTAM (at your own risk).
Trick question. This NOTAM is a full year out of date "120711" is the 12th of July, 2011.

What does this NOTAM tell you about coming into Burlington, V.T., between 0800-2300? “… CCSA HRS 08002300 DLY”

The Class C surface area is in effect.
Communications service (RCO) is available.
Customs service is available.
There's a farmer's market (CSA) on the airport that day.

When a NOTAM says that a runway threshold is displaced, that means:

You might have it available for takeoff (depending on the markings) and it could be used for aircraft overrun.
That section of runway is not available for takeoff but is available for landing.
That section of runway may not be used under any circumstances.
You don't know because NOTAMs are created by airport managers, who might not even use the right terminology.

Which of these winter NOTAM contractions should be of greatest concern, BRAF, BRAG, BRAN or BRAP?

BRAG, because ragged snowbanks can catch a low-wing pilot by surprise.
BRAN, because the runway is only so long.
BRAF, because plowing must be requested on the aerodrome frequency.
BRAP, because it's the sound a pilot makes after too much bran (which makes some guys brag, or at least chuckle).
