[JYO] CAMP DAVID TFR TO EXPAND NEXT WEEK

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 next week. The TFR will extend to a 10-nm radius below 18,000
feet beginning at 6:25 p.m. local on Monday, December 22, and
continuing through 1 p.m. local on Friday, December 26.

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#3/1800 ).

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.
