[JYO] FAA TO ESTABLISH TFR OVER HARRISBURG

FAA TO ESTABLISH TFR OVER HARRISBURG
AOPA is sending this message to  advise pilots in and near Harrisburg,
Pennsylvania, that the FAA will likely  issue a notam restricting flight
in the area during President Bush's visit  tomorrow, February 12. 

Based on AOPA's best information, Bush will  arrive at 9:55 a.m. and
depart at 12:30 p.m. local Thursday. AOPA anticipates  the notam to
establish a large temporary flight restriction (TFR) limiting  general
aviation flight. AOPA will post the notam on AOPA Online 
(  http://www.aopa.org/whatsnew/notams.html ) as soon as possible after
it is  issued.

"The federal government is not serving pilots or its own  security
interests by waiting until the last minute to issue TFR notams,"  said
AOPA President Phil Boyer. 

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.
