[JYO] CAMP DAVID TFR TO EXPAND THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY

A special notice to pilots in the central  Maryland area 


==> ATTENTION PILOTS <== 

CAMP DAVID TFR  TO EXPAND THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY
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 this
week. The TFR will extend to a 10-nautical-mile-radius below  18,000
feet beginning at 2:10 p.m. local on Thursday, August 17,  and
continuing through 1 p.m. local on Sunday, August 20.

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. Flight training,  practice instrument
approaches, aerobatic flight, glider operations,  parachute operations,
ultralight, hang gliding, and balloon operations,  agriculture/crop 
dusting, animal population control fight operations, and  commercial
cargo carrier operations that fail to meet or exceed the TSA  domestic
security inspection program standards are not authorized. Also,  all
aircraft departing from private airports are required to 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#6/6445 ).

The  affected landing facility is Mid Atlantic Soaring Center (W73).

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.
