[JYO] Procedure(s) with Caution...

First, my disclaimer....

I am trying to provide you the best information that I can with the 
information that I have.  Use the information I provide you with CAUTION as 
it changes each MINUTE and with each person I speak with.  I expect to get 
more info VERY early Monday Morning and will disseminate it as it is 
available.

Thanks..



Now..  after discussing with the FAA, and FSS and ATC, here is how "I 
PERSONALLY" would fly out of JYO, VFR on Monday Morning.

- be very patient..  Many corporations are "nervous" about the TFR and are 
filing flightplans Directly with Leesburg FSS rather than using their normal 
electronic channels.  One company has over 100 flightplans for tomorrow 
already.  Leesburg FSS (as is the system is going to be very busy)

- Calling 1-800-WX Brief "might" get you Leesburg FSS, but then again, it may 
now. To be certain to reach Leesburg FSS, you may call them at 
1-866-225-7410.

- I would file my VFR flight plan with Leesburg via 866-225-7410 and the 
initial route of my flight would be directly North or West to "get out of the 
area" as soon as possible.

- After doing my run-up, I would call Clearance Delivery (118.55) to get my 
transponder code and explain that I am VFR, number # for departure and get my 
departure freq from them. (this is all a gray area.. but others agreed that 
this would be a good attempt).

- I would announce on CTAF at JYO my departure, then continue to monitor CTAF 
on one radio while I called Potomac Approach on my assigned departure freq.

This will be easy for the IFR pilots as the procedures are what you are used 
to.

Be patient and help each other..  and DON'T bust rules and airspace...  it 
hurts us all, and could be especially dangerous for you depending on which 
airspace you bust.

More as I get it...  Thanks for all the nice comments.
