So Cal pilots

I know everyone here is good and checks for TFRs before a flight but thought I'd post this anyways.


FAA TO ESTABLISH TFR OVER LOS ANGELES ON TUESDAY
AOPA is sending this message to advise pilots in and near Los Angeles,
California, that the FAA has issued a notam restricting flight in the
area during President Bush's planned visit on Tuesday, October 3.

There will be a large 30-nautical-mile-radius temporary flight
restriction (TFR) centered on the SMO VOR's 352-degree radial
at 3.8 miles, extending up to Flight Level 180. It will be in effect
from 4:35 p.m. local until 8:20 p.m. local on Tuesday. Also, there
will be multiple smaller 10-nm-radius GA no-fly zones in effect within
the larger TFR during that timeframe. See AOPA Online for the full
text of the notam along with a graphical depiction
( http://www.aopa.org/whatsnew/notams.html#6/2006 ).

The affected landing facilities are Santa Monica Municipal (SMO),
Los Angeles International (LAX), Van Nuys (VNY), Bob Hope (BUR),
Jack Northrop Field/Hawthorne Municipal (HHR), Whiteman (WHP),
Compton/Woodley (CPM), Zamperini Field (TOA), El Monte (EMT), Long
Beach/Daugherty Field (LGB), Fullerton Municipal (FUL), and Agua
Dulce Airpark (L70).

Because TFR airspace frequently changes, AOPA strongly encourages
pilots to obtain a briefing and CHECK NOTAMS before every flight.
TFR violators will be intercepted and forced to land.

Thanks for the heads-up.
