Really?

[Marauder]

I have seen some unusual TFRs before, but to block out the whole east side of a state? Until further notice!

at least it has good intentions instead of simply aggravating people over some useless POTUS trip.

[M016576]

At least it's a small state. Imagine if it was the whole west side of California.....

[yvesg]

I don't see that one on Foreflight. Anyone else having this issue too?

[philipneeper]

What APP are you using if that isn't fore flight?

[triple8s]

I saw that yesterday evening, I guess we have a new staff who's job is deciding on when ,where, how long to issue tfr's and they were bored.

[wiguy]

 They'll be covering the whole USA before long.

What are those user waypoints? Just curious.

[NotarPilot]

I believe we should have a definitive end date for published TFRs. Such as it can't last longer than 30 days. I always check the CA TFRs on the FAA website and always see the Disney TFR that's dated 2009. Seems a bit ridiculous to me.

[MooneyBob]

This TFR is weird . I can't find it on the FAA site or anywhere else except Garmin Pilot. I better to call a briefer.

The waypoints are just spots off the Nav aids in the area.

I just read the text blurb carefully. It does not indicate a plane is prohibited to enter the area, just to "watch out" for planes that are "participating" in the area. Definitely one of the crazier ones I have seen. Before I flew into the area, I would want to be sure there wasn't something hidden in the TFR.

Doh.... I went to 26N last night a 2100 hrs local........Had flight following too....

[DS1980]

I would think by definition, it being a TFR that civilian aircraft would not be allowed inside without prior permission.

Are there different categories of TFRs? I must have missed that day at ground school.

[201er]

Its noton the faa database. Is it perhaps a notam? Or is it over?

[201er]

Ok ok, its just an fdc notam! Way o have everyone worked up over a glitch on your stupid garmin pilot.

Glitch or not, it was designated as a TFR in the tool I was using. Garmin should give me a free year of subscription for the angst, right Peter? Besides, it it were a real TFR, we would be bailing Alan out this morning.

[PTK]

Chris, no glitch. It was designated as a TFR but it wasn't really.

This was clarified and explained to me by Flight Service.

So is it a TFR or not?

[Alan Fox]

I'm so confused.....

You're going to spend the rest of your life in jail. But not for this

[Piloto]

For TFRs I check the FAA website:  tfr.faa.gov on my smart phone before going to the hangar. They show a map and a listing of the current TFRs, including the Virgin Islands, Alaska and Hawaii. The listing shows the active times for the TFR. Very handy to have on a smart phone.

It is not a TFR. It is what they are calling an ACA or Airspace Coordination Area. They indicate in the text that TFRs may established in the ACA.

Is Hose' smiling in that pic , because he is in a Mooney ? or because of the hot ladyfriend in the cockpit , (possibly a stranger photobombing him ) ? or our interesting banter on Mooneyspace.........  I believe Mike should do a poll......
