POTOMAC CONSOLIDATED  TRACON LETTER TO AIRMEN NO.04-2
SUBJECT: VFR Practice Instrument  Approaches
CANCELLATION DATE: April 30,2006

Potomac Approach Control (PCT) will provide TFR separation to VFR  aircraft 
conducting practice instrument approaches at the following airports:  
Baltimore-Washington International Airport (BWI), Martin State Airport (MTN),  
Dulles 
International Airport (IAD), Leesburg Executive Airport (JYO), Manassas  
Regional Airport (HEF), Eastern West Virginia Regional (Martinsburg) Airport  
(MRB), 
Richmond International Airport (RIC) and Charlottesville-Albemarle County  
Airport (CHO).

Pilots requesting practice instrument approaches should advise Potomac  
Approach on initial contact of the airport, type approach requested and  
intentions 
for completion of the approach. IFR separation services for practice  
approaches will only be authorized at airports with operating control Towers.  
IFR 
separation will be based on known traffic and will be applied after the  
approach clearance is issued. Unless specifically requested by the pilot and  
approved by the controller, IFR separation will not be provided for the missed  
approach procedure.

Pilots should understand that practice approaches may not interrupt the  flow 
of other arriving and departing traffic. Consequently, at times, it may be  
necessary to refuse, delay or withdraw authorization to conduct practice  
approaches. Additionally, pilots should be aware that an approach clearance 
does  
not relieve the pilot of his/her responsibility to see and avoid other traffic  
or to remain in VFR weather conditions as defined in FAR 91.155. Requests for 
 practice approaches should be made on the appropriate approach control  
frequency.
