First post. I'm just a student pilot right now with about 31 hours. Putting the finishing touches on my workshop this weekend. I'll be ordering the empennage for a 7A in the next week or two. Thats the good news
The bad news...
Did my first solo XC last week and flew right into a 30 nm Presidential TFR around, I'm told by the FAA, GRR and BIV. I wasnt intercepted but got a call on my mobile from my flight instructor about 2 nm past 6D6 (15 nm from GRR) so I diverted to 6D6 and called FSS to start sorting things out, etc.
You can see my GPS track here http://tinyurl.com/3m7x3vb and here http://www.n251rv.com/2011/08/11/solo-xc/
Needless to say the FAA isnt too happy with me right now and is VERY unhappy with my CFI. At any rate, I'll be talking to the FAA again on Monday but my questions are these;
- What commonly happens when a student pilot violates a TFR like this?
- What is the worst that could happen?
Thanks for any feedback and thanks to everyone for the great resource that is VAF
