[JYO] Revised nuclear notam expected today

Revised nuclear notam expected today
Relocation plan also in the works   
11/1/01 9:37:12 AM ET — AOPA expects that FAA will issue a revised notam 
establishing temporary flight restrictions (TFRs) over nuclear facilities 
sometime this morning. That notam is anticipated to reopen Charlotte/Douglas 
International Airport in North Carolina, Albuquerque International Sunport in 
New Mexico, and airports in the Kansas City, Missouri, area. AOPA has also 
learned that three additional nuclear sites will likely be removed from the 
notam, thereby opening more airports.

FAA is also working on a relocation plan to move trapped aircraft out of the 
closed airports. Some relocations may begin as early as this afternoon from a 
limited number of airports.

Meanwhile, AOPA continues to work with FAA to correct errors in FAA's 
original <A

closed airports</A>. There are also errors in the location of 
some of the nuclear sites in FAA's data. With the help of AOPA member 
reports, AOPA is also verifying that location data supplied to ensure that 
the nuclear sites are correctly plotted on the online Jeppesen charts.
