As the saying goes, "let's be careful out there"....
FAA TO ESTABLISH TFR OVER BUSH RANCH WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY
AOPA is sending this message to advise pilots in the Crawford, Texas,
area that the FAA has issued a notam that will expand Prohibited
Area P-49, from Wednesday, August 22, through Monday, August 27, for
President Bush's visit to his ranch.
There will be a 30-nautical-mile-radius temporary flight restriction
(TFR) centered on the ACT VOR's 241-degree radial at 14.4 miles,
extending up to Flight Level 180. It will be in effect from 1:50 p.m.
local on Wednesday through 11:25 a.m. local on Monday. There will
be a smaller 10-nm-radius GA no-fly zone in effect within the larger TFR.
A 4-nm-radius cutout will be centered on the GRK VOR's 057-degree radial
at 7.3 miles to allow operations at Skylark Field (ILE). See AOPA Online
for the full text of the notam along with a graphical depiction
( http://www.aopa.org/whatsnew/notams.html#7/4016 ).
The affected landing facilities are Flying Nd Ranch (22TS), Valley Mills
Municipal (9F1), Scott (31TX), Wildcat Canyon (3T8), McGregor Executive
(PWG), Clifton Municipal/Isenhower Field (7F7), Waco Regional (ACT),
Tigerbird Field (2TS3), Gatesville Municipal (GOP), Womack Farm (75TE),
Parrish Airstrip (TX52), Heathrow (TE17), Lake Whitney State Park (F50),
Sheriff Department Heliport (TA04), Flying Heart Ranch (70TE), Square
K (40TS), Tstc Waco (CNW), Draughon-Miller Central Texas Regional (TPL),
Wings For Christ International Flight Academy (73F), Hood AAF (HLR),
and Barnstormer (TE99).
The FAA also has issued notams establishing a TFR over Waco for the
president's arrival and departure from his ranch. There will be a
6-nm-radius TFR centered on the ACT VOR's 089-degree radial at 10.1 miles,
extending up to 3,000 feet agl.
The effective times are 1:50 p.m. local until 3 p.m. local on Wednesday
( http://www.aopa.org/whatsnew/notams.html#7/4017 ), and 10:20 a.m. local
until 11:25 a.m. local on Monday
( http://www.aopa.org/whatsnew/notams.html#7/4018 ).
The affected landing facilities are Tstc Waco (CNW) and Wings For Christ
International Flight Academy (73F).
Because TFR airspace frequently changes, AOPA strongly encourages
pilots to obtain a briefing and CHECK NOTAMS before every flight.
TFR violators will be intercepted and forced to land.
