Busted TFR, what to expect?
Robert M. Gary wrote: 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. 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.

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. You would think that would be the case, in this case it was not. The prez was here about 3 weeks ago and it was all over the paper. There was nothing that I saw concernnig the VP visit. In fact, I mentioned to several of the pilots in the area that there was a TFR the other day and not a single one knew about the TFR or the visit. I believe this was a stealth visit. -robert |

We just had a briefing from one of the Lockheed Martin AFSS managers and
that is coming. You will be able to log onto a website and provide your personal information if you wish. Call for a weather briefing and the briefer will have your name, ratings, etc. It will be funny calling the briefer and he says "Hello, Ross, what can I do for you today?" Ross SKWI bob wrote: Q. How would an email notification work, they don't know what airport you're at? A. Similar to AOPA's system, the FAA would setup a web page where pilots voluntarily participating would submit their email address and location (either state, zip code, or airport ID) and they would receive emails for TFR and NOTAMs. This would help for the local flights where many pilots don't get a briefing. The point being, no single method will work, but an email notification system would be very cheap and relatively effective for those participating. We might as well recognize that for local VFR flights there are just a lot of pilots that don't get briefings, so why not reduce the number of TFR violations with a simple email system? |

That really NEAT!

I am going to bookmark that one. I ended up sending it to my desktop. I then created this icon to use with it. The attachment may or may not show up, seeing as how this is a non-binary group. But what the hell... it's only 2k. A lot of people requote more than that just because they're too lazy to trim. |

I've seen the fighters fly by my home drone shaking their fists at a little Cessna when the village idiot was in town. Kinda neat, but not for the student and his instructor. There's a West Point TFR Saturday that includes Rhinebeck. I have this funny image in my mind of an F16 pilot waving at a Fokker Triplane or Spad, complete with leather helmeted and white scarved pilot. Now that would be a picture. |

There are lots of problems with the notam system. Still, it is the official way the FAA notifies pilots of things like TFRs. If you're going to stick your head in the sand and say you're not going to check for notams, you deserve what you get when you bust a TFR. It's not like it's difficult to check... |
