Default Busted TFR, what to expect?

It's a basic part of the preflight actions. I also spend a good 15-20
minutes walking around my airplane before every flight



I do a thorough pre-flight inspection before every flight. Every control
surface is checked for continuity, all four gas tanks are visually
inspected, oil is checked, wheel pants are given a tug, prop is examined,
stall indicator movement verified, every screw, bolt and connector is
visually inspected...


A preflight before every flight? I don't think so. Once a day. Check
the stall warner? Every year at the annual.

Yep, every flight. It might be a difference in culture between younger
pilots like myself and people who have been flying longer. I did all
of my flight training after 9/11, and I trained in the LA basin, which
is somewhat busy. As a result, there was a bigger emphasis on checking
this stuff than my pilot friends who learned earlier.

Every single flight, I get a briefing to check for notams & TFRs. I do
most of my flying out in the boonies now, but I still call FSS. Heck,
I did pattern work the other day and still called 'em just to make
sure. It's a useful source of information, why not use the tools
available? I might not like the fact that these restrictions exist,
and I'll write a letter to my congressman, but with a couple minutes of
effort each flight, I can avoid being the guy waving to the F-16 off my
wing.

Perhaps. But I started flying in 2000, and every instructor I worked with
already emphasized that a briefing for each flight was required in order to
be safe and legal.

Can anyone on this list actually claim to check for TFRs for every
local flight in the pattern? Who would have known the VP was going to
be in Sac? He came stealth.


Yes.

I always always always get a briefing before every single flight.

I always get a Wx briefing before every flight, and check NOTAMS along
the route and destination for all XC trips. I teach my students that way also.

Not doing this shows a lack of piloting skilss, sorry but thats the truth.

It also shows a lack of spelling or typing skills. Sorry, but that's the truth.

Wow, thanks for pointing that out, as you state, my typing skills are
*essential* to the point of the post.

I can't. I'm not likely to call for pattern work. I talk to the FBO manager
though; it seems like he would know. I'm also pretty good about keeping up with
local events in the newspaper. If the VP is coming, I generally know it in
advance.

Now, on cross country flights, I always call. I need weather and I need to
file.

Will this practice eventually bite me on the ass? I suppose it could but I'll
be pretty surprised.

I get a DUATS briefing before every flight, pattern work or otherwise.

If it's a spur of the moment thing on the way home from work, for
example, and going online isn't feasible, then I call FSS.
