FAA TO  ESTABLISH TFR OVER WEST POINT ON MONDAY
AOPA is sending this message to  advise pilots in and near West Point,
Virginia, that the FAA has issued a  notam restricting flight in the
area during President Bush's planned visit on  Monday, May 16.

There will be a 30-nautical-mile-radius temporary flight  restriction
(TFR) centered on the HCM VOR's 295-degree radial at 10.5  miles,
extending up to Flight Level 180. It will be in effect from 10:20  a.m.
local until 1:20 p.m. local on Monday. Also, there will be a  smaller
10-nm-radius GA no-fly zone in effect during that time frame. See  AOPA
Online for the full text of the notam and a graphic
(  http://www.aopa.org/whatsnew/notams.html#5/3806 ).

The affected landing  facilities are Middle Peninsula Regional (FYJ),
New Kent County (W96),  Williamsburg-Jamestown (JGG), Richmond
International (RIC), McLaughlin SPB  (2G6), Hummel Field (W75),
Tappahannock Municipal (W79), Hanover County  Municipal (OFP),
Chesterfield County (FCI), and Newport  News/Williamsburg
International (PHF).

Because TFR airspace frequently  changes, AOPA strongly encourages
pilots to obtain a briefing and CHECK  NOTAMS before every flight.
TFR violators will be intercepted and forced to  land.
