quade 3 #1 June 26, 2003 ---------------------------------------------------------------- AOPA ePilot Special Airspace Bulletin June 26, 2003 ---------------------------------------------------------------- A special notice to AOPA members in California ==> ATTENTION PILOTS <== FAA TO ACTIVATE 30-NM TFRs OVER LOS ANGELES AND SAN FRANCISCO AOPA is sending this message to advise you that the FAA will establish 30-nm-radius temporary flight restrictions (TFRs) over Los Angeles and San Francisco when President Bush travels to the cities Friday, June 27. AOPA continues to lobby for more reasonably sized presidential movement TFRs, absent a specific and credible threat. The association maintains almost daily contact with the FAA, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), and officials responsible for the president's security. The San Francisco TFR will be in effect from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. local on Friday and prohibits general aviation aircraft within a 7-mile radius of the SFO VOR-DME's 161-degree radial at 0.9 miles (essentially on San Francisco International Airport). The Los Angeles TFR will be in effect from 2:15 p.m. to 9 p.m. local on Friday and prohibits aircraft within an 8-mile radius of the LAX vortac's 351-degree radial at 7.6 miles (near the UCLA campus). Between 7 and 30 nm from the center of San Francisco TFR and between 8 nm and 30 nm from the center of the Los Angeles TFR and below 18,000 feet of both, flight operations are only permitted for ingress or egress. Aircraft must be on an active IFR or VFR flight plan with a discrete transponder code assigned by air traffic control, and maintain two-way radio communications. The notam says that air traffic control may authorize transient operations. The FAA also notes that the Los Angeles Special Federal Aviation Regulation 51 regarding VFR flight is subject to all of the restrictions. The impacted landing facilities for San Francisco are San Francisco International (SFO), Metropolitan Oakland International (OAK), Half Moon Bay (HAF), Hayward Executive (HWD), San Carlos (SQL), Buchanan Field (CCR), Palo Alto Airport of Santa Clara County (PAO), Livermore Municipal (LVK), Norman Y. Mineta San Jose International (SJC), and Reid-Hillview of Santa Clara County (RHV). The impacted landing facilities for Los Angeles are Santa Monica Municipal (SMO), Los Angeles International (LAX), Jack Northrop Field/Hawthorne Municipal (HHR), Burbank-Glendale-Pasadena (BUR), Van Nuys (VNY), Whiteman (WHP), Compton/Woodley (CPM), Zamperini Field (TOA), El Monte (EMT), Long Beach/Daugherty Field (LGB), Fullerton Municipal (FUL), and Agua Duice Airpark (L70). Pilots are strongly encouraged to check notams prior to all flights as changes have occurred with many of these presidential notams.
