Almost 1 in 4 FSSs remain closed to walk-up briefings
AOPA continues to press to open all facilities to pilot visits

Mar. 12 — Despite the FAA headquarters "<A 
HREF="http://www.aopa.org/whatsnew/newsitems/2002/02-1-120x.html";>general 
notice</A>" issued Friday 
reopening flight service stations to walk-in pilot briefings, 14 of the 61 
facilities still remain closed to pilots. AOPA has lobbied to reopen all FSS 
facilities, which had been closed to the public since the September 11 
attacks. Two FSS facilities (Gainesville and St. Petersburg, Florida) are 
still closed to the public because of ongoing construction. Other facilities 
are citing security concerns or local management decision to remain off 
limits to "over the counter" briefings. AOPA is continuing to press FAA to 
reopen all facilities to walk-in pilot briefings. (See the <A 
HREF="http://www.aopa.org/whatsnew/newsitems/2002/020312fss.html";>current 
status</A> of 
specific flight service stations.)

Leesburg FSS is Open for Walk-up Pilots.
