[JYO] CAMP DAVID TFR EXPANDS THIS WEEKEND

CAMP DAVID TFR EXPANDS THIS WEEKEND
Pilots flying in the Mid-Atlantic area are cautioned that the temporary 
flight restriction (TFR) area centered on Prohibited Area P-40, the 
presidential retreat at Camp David, Maryland, will grow larger starting 
tonight. The TFR will extend to a 10-nm radius below 18,000 feet beginning 
at 10:15 p.m. local today (Friday, September 5) and continuing through noon 
local on Sunday, September 7. 

During that time, the notam prohibits practice instrument approaches within 
the TFR. All operations (except military, law enforcement, and air ambulance) 
are prohibited within 5 nm below 12,500 feet. Between 5 nm and 10 nm, 
aircraft must be on an active IFR or VFR flight plan with a discrete 
transponder code assigned by air traffic control and must maintain radio 
contact with ATC. All such flights must be for ingress, egress, or transit 
only. No flight training, aerobatic, glider, parachute, hang gliding, 
ultralight, aerial application, or animal control operations are permitted. 
Also, all aircraft departing from private airports are required be on a 
heading away from the center of P-40. See the notam and a graphic at
