AOPA appeals to FAA on nuclear TFR violations

11/7/01 3:06:21 PM ET — Although the nuclear TFR notam has expired, general 
aviation pilots faced with enforcement action by the FAA have contacted AOPA. 
<A HREF="http://www.aopa.org/whatsnew/newsitems/2001/011107letter.html";>In a 
letter</A> delivered to the FAA this afternoon, AOPA has asked Ava Mims, 
Director of Flight Standards, to drop enforcement actions against pilots for 
violations of the nuclear TFR notam, unless it is determined that the 
operator engaged in a blatant or intentional violation. From the start, the 
nuclear TFR notam was seriously flawed and did not provide general aviation 
pilots with the information necessary for identifying and avoiding the 
prohibited airspace.
