FAA priorities are restoring some flight training, moving trapped aircraft  
Update: 9/21/01 12:18:34 PM, ET— Through AOPA's extensive contacts 
throughout all levels of FAA, AOPA is learning the details of the agency's 
plan to restore VFR flight privileges. It appears that FAA's first priority 
is to restore some flight training activities. A notam on that is expected as 
early as this afternoon. Next the agency will develop procedures to allow 
general aviation aircraft trapped inside the Washington and New York TFRs, 
and VFR aircraft inside <A HREF="http://38.200.9.137/class_b.html";>enhanced 
Class B airspace</A>, to move out. Finally, FAA 
is working on procedures to allow some VFR flight within Class B airspace. 
Those notams may be issued sometime this weekend.

AOPA has supplied FAA with critical information on the numbers and size of 
aircraft currently trapped within all the enhanced Class B areas. AOPA's vice 
president of air traffic services is stationed inside FAA headquarters for 
instant communication with top FAA officials.
