(USA) New Mexico restricted airspace question
I recently learned that the restricted airspace in the SE corner of
Arizona (R-2303) is not in effect during the weekends. Does anyone happen to know if any of the restricted areas over central New Mexico (R-5107 -- over the White Sands Missile Range) have a similar policy? ~ted/2NO |

(USA) New Mexico restricted airspace question
Hours and Altitude restrictions posted are in the margin of the VFR Chart.
My Charts do not go that far east. Looking at the Chart on skyvector.com I can see the margin, there are a lot of parts to R5107, Some are Continuous 5107A/B/D/J etc, Some are By NOTAM 12hrs in advance 5107E/H etc, and some are only 0700-2000 M-F, 5107K, and some are a combination of the various restrictions. ABQ Center is listed and 128.2 for contact information. FSS will have the NOTAM information 12hrs before it goes HOT. 1-800WXBRIEF BT "Tuno" wrote in message ...

Does anyone remember THOSE things? They were what used to be used to Navigate and get information regarding the areas you were covering in your flight. :-) It depends on which one you are talking about...Some are continuous and some are Mon - Fri. Usually we just call ABQ center and ask for the current status...And can even get into the ones that supposedly operate "Continuously". -EX |

At that time the southern section was ALWAYS hot. There is a northern section (R5701C&H) that does open on occasion. Be aware that the German Luftwaffe does intensive low level training in their Tornado aircraft in this airspace. It's also worth knowing that the Spanish called the area "Jornada del Muerto" which translates something like "dead man walking" or "journey of death". It isn't exactly landout friendly country. You can contact the Holloman AFB tower by phone. They'll have the latest info on R5107. |

I bet they know that airspace pretty well. Pete |
