[JYO] FAA TO ESTABLISH TFR OVER BALTIMORE ON WEDNESDAY

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.
