[JYO] ASF Operation Airspace updated to include ADIZ, security-related restrictions

Feb. 11 — The popular AOPA Air Safety Foundation "Operation Airspace" online 
course has been updated with new information on temporary flight restrictions 
(TFR) and other security-related airspace imposed around the United States, 
including the new air defense identification zone (ADIZ) around Washington, 
D.C.

The free online course, created by ASF in Microsoft PowerPoint and ported to 
the Web, is available at <A 
HREF="http://www.aopa.org/asf/opair2002.htm";>www.aopa.org/asf/opair2002.htm</A> 
and takes most pilots 
between 10 and 15 minutes to complete. A special section of the course offers 
guidance for GA pilots living in or visiting the Mid-Atlantic area where the 
new ADIZ around the nation's capital city is posing unique challenges.

"Now more than ever, GA pilots absolutely must observe flight restrictions," 
said ASF Executive Director Bruce Landsberg, "and knowing how the 
restrictions work is a good first step.

"Security officials — and the general public — will not tolerate stupid 
pilot tricks during this time of national emergency."

The presentation is also now available as a conventional PowerPoint show for 
pilots or FAA safety counselors conducting safety meetings in local 
communities. It may be downloaded at <A 
HREF="http://www.aopa.org/asf/opair.ppt";>www.aopa.org/asf/opair.ppt</A> and is 
just 
under 4 megabytes total.

The newly revised program will also be included in ASF's "Seminar in a Box" 
on airspace, allowing smaller pilot groups in more rural parts of the country 
to review airspace knowledge.
