[JYO] General Aviation news...

Sept. 12 — The FAA will be making a decision this morning about how it will 
restart the National Airspace System. FAA contacted AOPA this morning, and 
AOPA is fully involved to ensure that general aviation will be properly 
considered. AOPA is advocating a return to full IFR and VFR operations as 
soon as possible.

Once flights are again permitted, pilots will need to carefully check notams. 
FAA has told AOPA that numerous TFRs (temporary flight restrictions) will be 
in force, including over New York City, the Pentagon, near Somerset, 
Pennsylvania, and several in the Pacific Northwest.

AOPA will post this information on the Web site as soon as it become 
available.

"We know from member phone calls and emails that many GA pilots are currently 
stranded away from home," said AOPA President Phil Boyer. "The FAA had to 
take an unprecedented action in response to the terrorist attack on the U.S. 
Recognizing the gravity of the situation, we are working with FAA to restore 
our national transportation system to full operation as soon as possible."
