FAA TO ESTABLISH TFR OVER BALTIMORE ON WEDNESDAY
AOPA is sending this message to advise pilots in and near Baltimore,
Maryland, that the FAA is expected to issue a notam restricting
flight in the area during President Bush's planned visit on Wednesday,
July 20.
Based on information from the FAA and press reports, the president
is scheduled to be at Baltimore for an event Wednesday morning. AOPA
anticipates that the notam will establish a large temporary flight
restriction (TFR) limiting general aviation flight. Typically, these
presidential travel-related TFRs are 60 nautical miles in diameter
(30-nm radius) and contain one or more smaller general aviation no-fly
zones. AOPA will post the notam on AOPA Online
( http://www.aopa.org/whatsnew/notams.html ) as soon as possible after
it is issued. A graphic will also be available.
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.
