MSmith said:I've flown in the 10-30NM ring of a presidential TFR - last November (first XC flight with a passenger after getting my private). It takes a LOT of planning.
You need 2 flight plans - the regular Search-and-Rescue plan (they call it an SAR plan) for the full route, and another ADIZ VFR flight plan for the TFR. You need to figure out exactly WHERE and WHEN (within 15 minutes or so) you will enter and leave the TFR (including takeoffs and landings).
SCCutler said:Finally, always monitor 121.5; it is prudent and, in a distressing way, educational, to listen as an intercept of a hapless pilot progresses deeper into suspension land. The voice from the circling AWACS plane is always powerful and increasingly strident as the pilot gets further into trouble. The culmination, of course, is hearing those saddening words, "F16 intercept in progress."
TFRs are a pain in the butt-ock region, no doubt, but don't amplify them beyond what they really are. Read the NOTAM. Presidential TFRs are most decidedly not automatically ADIZs, and ADIZ procedures do not automatically apply.
