A special notice to AOPA members in the southwestern United States

== ATTENTION PILOTS ==

FAA TO ESTABLISH TFRs OVER LAS VEGAS, PHOENIX TOMORROW
AOPA is sending this message to advise pilots in and near the
southwestern
United States that the FAA will issue notams restricting flight in the
Las Vegas and Phoenix areas during President Bush's visits to the cities

tomorrow (Tuesday, November 25).

According to the "Las Vegas Review-Journal," President Bush will visit
Spring Valley Hospital before attending a luncheon at The Venetian.
Based
on previous presidential travel, AOPA anticipates the notam to establish

large temporary flight restrictions (TFRs) limiting general aviation
flight.
But at this time, AOPA does not have confirmation as to the size of the
TFRs or when they will be active. The notam had not been issued as of
11 a.m. Pacific time on Monday. AOPA will post the notam on AOPA Online
( http://www.aopa.org/whatsnew/notams.html ) as soon as possible after
it
is issued.

From Las Vegas the president will travel to Phoenix. The FAA has
established
a TFR ( http://www.aopa.org/whatsnew/notams.html#3/1207 ) restricting
flight
between 2:35 p.m. and 7:40 p.m. local time. Affected airports are
Phoenix
Sky Harbor International, Scottsdale, Phoenix Deer Valley, Stellar
Airpark,
Glendale Municipal, Falcon Field, Chandler Municipal, Phoenix Goodyear,
Pleasant Valley, Williams Gateway, Lost Dutchman Heliport, and Estrella
Sailport.

Because TFR airspace frequently changes, AOPA strongly encourages pilots

to obtain a briefing and CHECK NOTAMS before every flight. Violators
will
be intercepted and forced to land.
