==> ATTENTION PILOTS <==

FAA TO ESTABLISH TFR OVER TUCSON ON MONDAY AOPA is sending this message to advise pilots in and near Tucson, Arizona, that the FAA has issued a notam restricting flight in the area during President Bush's planned visit on Monday, March 21.

There will be a 30-nautical-mile-radius temporary flight restriction
(TFR) centered on the TUS VOR's 330-degree radial at 5.8 miles, extending up to Flight Level 180. It will be in effect from 9:55 a.m.
local until 1:55 p.m. local on Monday. Also, there will be a smaller 10-nm-radius GA no-fly zone in effect during that time frame. See AOPA Online for the full text of the notam and a graphic ( http://www.aopa.org/whatsnew/notams.html#5/2054 ).

The affected landing facilities are Tucson International (TUS), Ryan Field (RYN), Marana Regional (AVQ), and Pinal Airpark (MZJ).

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.
