[JYO] CAMP DAVID TFR TO EXPAND FRIDAY

CAMP DAVID TFR TO EXPAND FRIDAY
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 tomorrow. The TFR will extend to a 10-nm radius below 18,000
feet beginning at 9 a.m. local tomorrow, December 12, and continuing
through 1 p.m. local on Sunday, December 14.

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
( http://www.aopa.org/whatsnew/notams.html#3/1713 ).

Because TFR airspace frequently changes, AOPA strongly encourages
pilots to obtain a briefing and CHECK NOTAMS before every flight.
TFR violators will be intercepted and forced to land.

To help you navigate through today's complex airspace, AOPA has
launched the new AOPA Real-Time Flight Planner that provides
up-to-the-minute graphical depictions of TFRs
( http://www.aopa.org/flight_planner/intro.html ). The FAA also has
launched a new graphical TFR Web site
