The only real question is whether the poster is correct that there are lots of Angel flights out the affected airports. There are typically a handful of Angel Flights per month to or from BOS, a smaller number to or from BED, and seldom any to or from the other nearby airports.

So the original poster would seem to be entirely correct, not even considering other similar organization's flights. |

During any given week there are about 25 to 30 flights into and out of Boston's Logan. -- Peter ----== Posted via Newsfeed.Com - Unlimited-Uncensored-Secure Usenet News==---- http://www.newsfeed.com The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! 100,000 Newsgroups ---= 19 East/West-Coast Specialized Servers - Total Privacy via Encryption =--- |

2. Angel Flight is presently negotiating with Homeland Security. Interesting. I was thinking about this last night and it seems to me that it would be rather easy for the Angel Flight office to provide mission information well ahead of time to pass some type of verification process. Hopefully, das Homeland Security will also arrive at the same conclusion. -- Peter ----== Posted via Newsfeed.Com - Unlimited-Uncensored-Secure Usenet News==---- http://www.newsfeed.com The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! 100,000 Newsgroups ---= 19 East/West-Coast Specialized Servers - Total Privacy via Encryption =--- |

Angel Flights are not usually emergency "Lifeguard" flights are they? Not a normal Angel Flight, no, but Angel Flight Northeast does coordinate Lifeguard missions. These are typically are organ transplant recipients and their exact departure dates are unknown. As pilots, we receive a request from AFNE that an individual is on the list of recipients and the request states the departure and arrival cities. The request also specifies a travel time limit, usually four to six hours. We then calculate how long it will take us to arrive and prep the aircraft, fly to the patient, then fly the patient to the destination city. AFNE will compile the list and send it the patient. When the patient is notified of an available organ, s/he starts at the top of the list and calls for a flight. Interestingly, at this time there are a few outstanding organ transplant flights to Boston. I would certainly hope that if an organ becomes available during this convention, the GA aircraft will have no trouble transporting the patient to Logan Airport. -- Peter ----== Posted via Newsfeed.Com - Unlimited-Uncensored-Secure Usenet News==---- http://www.newsfeed.com The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! 100,000 Newsgroups ---= 19 East/West-Coast Specialized Servers - Total Privacy via Encryption =--- |

That FAA link specifically says that the special IFR arrival procedures are due to the higher than normal anticipated volume of flights, it has nothing to do with security. The URL http://www.faa.gov/NTAP/NTAP04JUN10/SP04023.htm indicates that special rules are in effect for IFR traffic. It says nothing about VFR traffic, as far as I can tell. That is, the information at that URL has no bearing on traffic reporting as such. Presumably, any VFR restrictions are described elsewhere. - Andrew |
