TFR for gas release

[XXX]

This is a first for me. TFR for gas release. Hmmmm.

She really didn't mean for it to happen. And she is sorry it did.



I have seen these TFRs pop up a few times. We had a thread on them a while back. Can't remember what the root cause was.

If you cut that pic in half  and just viewed the lower half,I bet you couldn't tell if you were looking at her front or back.

How do you get a TFR for a gas release in the plane?

This is far from unusual. There was a TFR for Aliso gas leak in California in 2015, too. In fact, they were concerned that an aircraft flying through the plume would trigger a massive airburst explosion with at least several hundreds of ton of TNT equivalent power.

The Aliso gas leak was detected by a guy who flys thru the plume ...The concentration was so low (100 parts per million) that there was never a danger of ignition...it was all about people living nearby...

New technology makes it easy to detect now. Beware what you do, they might be watching.

Pipeline blow down.

My wife would probably say we need a TFR in the house after I eat Mexican food.

Nice

Its the new pumping station in McAlpin. I flew over it a few days ago and also noticed it. They are hooking it up to the pipeline and I suspect they are having all of their bases covered "just incase"

[Yetti]

Hooking into a main line means you need to get rid of the gas that is in there.   So they have to release it.  Pipeline blowdowns can be really loud

I met that guy.... he has two Mooneys and came to look at mine when I had it up for sale last fall.

Interesting Joe...I read an article on him and his use of methane detectors mounted on his aircraft .On another note,did you know the folks with the socatta trindad out of Petaluma we have been looking for?

I took a guy for his first small GA flight and we needed a roaming TFR for a gas release. After an hour it eased up some, but not much. Never needed goggles in a 172 before, but could have used them that day, or a smoke hood would have been better.

Not sure I understand your question. Shoot me a PM.
