[JYO] U.S. airspace to reopen at 15Z

9/13/01 8:16:41 AM — The FAA has confirmed to AOPA that U.S. airspace will 
reopen to all flight operations at 15Z (11:00 a.m. EDT). VFR flights may 
proceed without a discrete transponder code. However, all airports may not be 
open. Airports with air carrier service are closed until they satisfy 
enhanced security requirements. Be sure to check notams. AOPA's airport staff 
and ASN volunteers are now checking to confirm the status of general aviation 
airports. Pilots are also encouraged to call 1-800-USA-AOPA to report the 
status of their airport.

Traffic at the major air carrier airports may be very heavy once they reopen. 
Pilots are advised to use satellite and general aviation airports.
