FAA TO ESTABLISH TFR OVER FORT A.P. HILL ON WEDNESDAY
AOPA is sending this message to advise pilots in and near Fort A.P. Hill,
Virginia, that the FAA is expected to issue a notam restricting flight
in the area during President Bush's planned visit on Wednesday, July 27.
Based on information from press reports, the president is scheduled to
be at Fort A.P. Hill for an event on Wednesday evening. 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.
Pilots should exercise extreme caution as the TFR may impact ADIZ procedures
and operations.
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.
