FAA closes Hyde Field because of security breachesMay 17 — The FAA has 
notified AOPA that because of serious security breaches, effective 2300 Zulu, 
<A 
HREF="http://www.aopa.org/whatsnew/newsitems/2001/010915tfr.html#2/4240";>Washington
 Executive/Hyde Field is closed</A>. Hyde is one of three close-in 
Washington, D.C.-area airports that only recently reopened to based aircraft 
operations subject to special security procedures and flight rules.

According to the FAA, the security infractions were significant enough to 
close the airport, and it is unclear at this time when the airport will 
reopen. However, the FAA is working with security officials on procedures 
that would allow relocation of aircraft effected by this closure. Until 
further notice, no person other than U.S. Armed Forces or law enforcement or 
aeromedical services aircraft may operate an aircraft to or from Hyde.
