I called the clearance delivery number on the OXB NOTAM but they gave me another number to call. I could not get my Bluetooth headset to connect so the I tucked the iPhone up under my ear seal and picked up my clearance and release. I decided to depart VFR and pick up my clearance in the air if I needed it.

It’s important to check the NOTAMs if you’ll be flying around these areas as some of the dimensions change in size. If the restricted area is not active and has been released to the controlling agency, the ATC facility will allow the aircraft to operate in the restricted airspace without issuing specific clearance.

Cross-check the chart notes with the destination NOTAMs. ATIS broadcasts usually include active runways, available approaches, important NOTAMs, and the weather. Use the weather (along with the NOTAMs) to ensure your chosen approach is still the best choice. Does the approach match the clearance? Is the ILS operational?
