A special notice to AOPA members in the central Maryland area 


==> ATTENTION PILOTS <== 

CAMP DAVID TFR TO EXPAND THIS WEEKEND
Pilots flying in the Mid-Atlantic area are cautioned that the temporary flight 
restriction (TFR) area centered on Prohibited Area P-40, the presidential 
retreat at Camp David, Maryland, will grow larger this weekend. The TFR will 
extend to a 10-nautical-mile-radius below 18,000 feet beginning at 8:25 p.m. 
local on Friday, June 30, and continuing through 1 p.m. local on Sunday, 
July 2.

During that time, the notam prohibits practice instrument approaches within 
the TFR. All operations (except military, law enforcement, and air ambulance) 
are prohibited within 5 nm up to 17,999 feet. Between 5 nm and 10 nm, aircraft 
must be on an active IFR or VFR flight plan with a discrete transponder code 
assigned by air traffic control and must maintain radio contact with ATC. All 
such flights must be for ingress, egress, or transit only. Flight training, 
practice instrument approaches, aerobatic flight, glider operations, parachute 
operations, ultralight, hang gliding, and balloon operations, agriculture/crop 
dusting, animal population control fight operations, and commercial cargo 
carrier operations that fail to meet or exceed the TSA domestic security 
inspection program standards are not authorized. Also, all aircraft departing 
from private airports are required to be on a heading away from the center 
of P-40. See the full text of the notam and a graphic 
( http://www.aopa.org/whatsnew/notams.html#6/1108 ).

The affected landing facility is Mid Atlantic Soaring Center (W73).

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.
