Can anyone on this list actually claim to check for TFRs for every local flight in the pattern? Yes. I call for a briefing before *every* flight I take, whether it be a local or x/c flight, specifically due to the concern of busting a TFR. I am aware that there still is a risk that a previously unknown TFR might even slip past the FSS briefers, but at least there will be a record of my attempt at obtaining all information. -- Peter |

Granted I live inside the largest (T)fr area in the country, but for the most part it does not change. I've just developed the habit of asking before each flight. Sure it takes a couple of extra moments but it's worth it. John |

ups.com... Can anyone on this list actually claim to check for TFRs for every local flight in the pattern? Yes. The only flight I've ever piloted without getting a briefing first was my intro flight. Starting with the second lesson, my CFI had me get a briefing before every flight, and I've done so ever since. If the weather is obviously clear and calm, I may not bother to write down the briefing info, but I'll still get the briefing. At a minimum, I either take a minute to consult DUATS before leaving home or at the FBO, or else I talk to FSS for a minute while I'm walking across the ramp to the plane. Skipping the briefing would be like skipping a required part of the preflight inspection. --Gary |

Yes. Plus a briefing.
I also have the Garmin 396 ON! It gives real time TFRs and is convenient and accurate. Karl ATP,CFI, ETC "Robert M. Gary" wrote in message ups.com...

The 396 ROCKS! (sorry, I cant think of a better possitive explitive)
To see "real time" where the TFR's, real time winds aloft, real time cloud cover, real time lighting strikes, real time nexrad AND realtime convective sigmets is a pleasure, especially on a long cross country. While it doesnt give realtime MOA activity, it does have a quick and simple meathod of checking the altitudes and normal hours of MOAs and Restricted areas (just "mouse over" the picture and a pop up tells you...) Yes it's expensive, yes the monthly service is expensive ($50/month), but I would not want to do long VFR cross countries without it! -- -- ET :-) (student PPL pilot) "A common mistake people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools."---- Douglas Adams "karl gruber" wrote in : Yes.

I'm like you, rarely check notams. When prez/vice prez are anywhere in the state it's big news and you'll hear about it. |

Who would have known the VP was going to be in Sac? He came stealth. I'm like you, rarely check notams. When prez/vice prez are anywhere in the state it's big news and you'll hear about it. They really didn't say much about it on the news, if at all. In fact, it was further south, towards Modesto and Stockton more than Sacramento, IIRC. As far as the newspaper, they go to press that night, so the news you heard the night before is printed in the morning the following day. The Sac. Bee only does one printing per day. So it would have been really easy to not hear about the VP's visit until the day after. Either way, NOTAMs definitely should have been looked at or notifications sent out, in one way or another.
