No pilots may operate an aircraft in the areas covered by this NOTAM (except as described).

Except as specified below and/or unless authorized by ATC in consultation with the air traffic security coordinator via the domestic events network (DEN):

All emergency/life saving flight (medical/law enforcement/firefighting) operations must coordinate with ATC prior to their departure at 858-537-5900 to avoid potential delays.

For operations within the airspace between the 8 NMR and/or 10 nmr and 35 nmr area(s) listed above, known as the outer ring(s): All aircraft operating within the outer ring(s) listed above are limited to aircraft arriving or departing local airfields, and workload permitting, ATC may authorize transit operations. Aircraft may not loiter. All aircraft must be on an active IFR or VFR flight plan with a discrete code assigned by an air traffic control (ATC) facility. Aircraft must be squawking the discrete code prior to departure and at all times while in the TFR and must remain in two-way radio communications with ATC.

C. The following operations are not authorized within this TFR: flight training, practice instrument approaches, aerobatic flight, glider operations, seaplane operations, parachute operations, ultralight, hang gliding, balloon operations, agriculture/crop dusting, animal population control flight operations, banner towing operations, sightseeing operations, maintenance test flights, model aircraft operations, model rocketry, and unmanned aircraft systems (UAS).

Thanks Julieann,

Your were the first to discover this TFR. This is probably a good time to mention that all HG pilots are required by the FAA regulations to know of these kinds of NOTAM before they fly. Few of us call Flight Service daily to check to see if there are any emergency airspace closures or closures due to VIP's in our area.

This means there's a decent chance some hg or pg pilot is going to get busted by the FAA on this, unless we are good at getting the word out.

This TFR shuts down all our local mountain flying for the day. I think this sort of thing warrants an email blast from our club as well as postings on the front page of the web site and the Kagel Kam. I'll see if Lisa can do it.
