FAA issues new consolidated notam


— The FAA has just issued a new notam, consolidating 
and clarifying a number of previous notams governing operations in the 
nation's airspace. Pilots should read the actual notam carefully, but in 
summary, virtually all operations are now permitted outside of enhanced Class 
B airspace and temporary flight restriction (TFR) areas.

The following operations are permitted outside of enhanced Class B airspace:

IFR/VFR operations (except for specific exclusions listed in the notam) 
VFR flight training in non-turbojet aircraft of 12,500 lbs or less 
VFR banner towing, airship, balloons, traffic watch, news reporting 
VFR pipeline/powerline operations only permitted with assigned beacon code 

Operations permitted inside enhanced Class B airspace:

IFR operations 
VFR flight training in piston single- and multi-engine non-turbojet aircraft 
with a gross weight of 6,000 pounds
or less (except for the enhanced Boston Class B and the Washington and New 
York TFRs). Supervised student solo flight (except in the Boston enhanced 
Class B and the Washington and New York TFRs). 

VFR flight by certificated pilots inside enhanced Class B airspace is still 
— you read that correctly. AOPA President Phil Boyer said, "We are 
well aware of the absurdity of this and will use it to get VFR privileges 
restored for everyone as soon as possible."
