[JYO] TFR EXPECTED OVER RICHMOND THIS AFTERNOON

TFR EXPECTED OVER RICHMOND THIS AFTERNOON
AOPA is sending this message to advise pilots in and near Richmond,
Virginia, that the FAA is expected to issue a notam restricting 
flight in the area for President Bush's visit this afternoon.

Bush is to visit the state's emergency operations center at the 
Virginia State Police Academy in Chesterfield County, according to the 
"Richmond Times-Dispatch." There, the president is expected to join in 
a video conference with emergency-management officials and governors 
from some of the states most affected by Hurricane Isabel.

Based on previous presidential travel, AOPA anticipates the notam to 
establish a large temporary flight restriction (TFR) limiting general 
aviation flight. However, at this time AOPA does not have the specifics 
as far as the size of the TFR or its active times. AOPA will post the 
notam on AOPA Online ( http://www.aopa.org/whatsnew/notams.html ) as 
soon as possible after it is issued.
