[JYO] CAMP DAVID TFR TO EXPAND THIS WEEKEND

CAMP DAVID TFR TO EXPAND 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. The TFR will extend to a  10-nm radius below 18,000 feet
beginning at 4:30 p.m. local on Friday, April  15, and continuing 
through 1 p.m. local on Sunday, April 17. 

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 up to 17,999 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 full text of the notam and a graphic 
(  http://www.aopa.org/whatsnew/notams.html#5/2858 ). 

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.
