Line Up and Wait
I'm scheduled to fly in the vicinity of KILG from 3 - 6 on Monday but there's a Presidential TFR in the Phila area on Monday that's scheduled to end at 3:45. Its a traffic watch flight, so filing a flight plan isn't an option and I'll have to loiter in the area.Obviously I'll have to wait until at least 3:45 before I take off but I'm a bit concerned about taking off right after the TFR is due to expire. What if the President's scheule is delayed? I assume they build enough slack into the TFR effective times to cover delays but it seems like cutting it close if I plan to take off right at 3:45. If I call flight service at 3:30 and they tell me that the TFR still ends at 3:45 is there a chance it could still be extended after that?
I'm considering delaying my takeoff to at least 4:00 but I don't want to wait any longer if I don't have to.
What would you do?
