A special notice to AOPA members in California


== ATTENTION PILOTS ==

FAA TO ESTABLISH TFRs OVER LOS ANGELES, SANTA CLARA, AND BAKERSFIELD
AOPA is sending this message to advise pilots in California that
President Bush will be making a series of campaign stops in the state
tomorrow and Thursday. His visit will be accompanied by many flight
restrictions.

Beginning in Los Angeles, there will be a large
30-nautical-mile-radius
temporary flight restriction (TFR) with three 10-nm-radius general
aviation no-fly zones. The TFR will be centered on the LAX VOR's
11-degree radial at 8.7 miles and extend to Flight Level 180. It
will be in effect from 12:25 p.m. local on Wednesday, March 3, to
9 a.m. local on Thursday, March 4. The three no-fly zones will have
different effective times within that period. See AOPA Online for the
full text of the notam
( http://www.aopa.org/whatsnew/notams.html#4/1648 ).

The affected public-use airports for Los Angles are Santa Monica
Municipal (SMO), Los Angeles International (LAX), Jack Northrop
Field/Hawthorne Municipal (HHR), Bob Hope (BUR), Van Nuys (VNY),
Compton/Woodley (CPM), Whiteman (WHP), Zamperini Field (TOA), El Monte
(EMT), Long Beach/Daugherty Field (LGB), Fullerton Municipal (FUL),
Agua Dulce Airpark (L70), and Brackett Field (POC).


In Bakersfield, there will be a 30-nm-radius TFR with one GA
no-fly zone. The TFR will be centered on the EHF VOR's 138-degree
radial at 4.6 miles from 8:40 a.m. to 11:20 a.m. local on Thursday,
March 4. The 10-nm no-fly zone will be active during that same
timeframe. See the full text of the notam
( http://www.aopa.org/whatsnew/notams.html#4/1650 ).

The affected public-use airports for Bakersfield are Meadows Field
(BFL), Bakersfield Municipal (L45), Shafter-Minter Field (MIT),
Poso-Kern County (L73), Wasco-Kern County (L19), Elk
Hills-Buttonwillow
(L62), Delano Municipal (DLO), and Taft-Kern County (L17).


And in Santa Clara, there will be a 30-nm-radius TFR with three 10-nm
GA no-fly zones. The TFR will be centered on the SJC VOR's 306-degree
radial at 2.4 miles from 11:20 a.m. to 2:25 p.m. local on Thursday,
March 4. The three GA no-fly zones will have different effective times
within that period. See the full text of the notam
( http://www.aopa.org/whatsnew/notams.html#4/1649 ).

The affected public-use airports for Santa Clara are Norman Y. Mineta
San Jose International (SJC), Palo Alto Airport of Santa Clara County
(PAO), Reid-Hillview of Santa Clara County (RHV), San Carlos (SQL),
Hayward Executive (HWD), Livermore Municipal (LVK), Metropolitan
Oakland International (OAK), San Francisco International (SFO), Half
Moon Bay (HAF), South County Airport of Santa Clara County (Q99),
Watsonville Municipal (WVI), Byron (C83), and Tracy Municipal (TCY).

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.
