Narrative:
Notams can be confusing and therefore ineffective. We were assigned the VOMAR1A STAR into mmun. The notams showed every fix on that STAR eliminated. Problem is; our stars are on [reference] pages; and we do not know what [the] corresponding chart might be. Does this NOTAM apply to [our company] charts; or not? The NOTAM system can be impossible to interpret with the gobbledygook it contains.
