Line Up and Wait
Often times, I go on FF and see a future TFR.
This past Saturday (May 26), I made plans to meet up with a friend in NJ. I was flying out of Farmingdale (FRG) to Linden (LDJ). It's about 45nm. I had gone on FF a few days before, and even the night before, to plan my route, etc. There was no mention of any TFR.
Then I get to the airport, and realize that the Jones Beach Air Show is happening. I go on FF and NOW it showed the TFR. I know in the past, I have seen future TFR's shown on the map, but nothing until the day of this time.
I have no idea why it wasn't there before, not even the day before. I was ****ed having made the 45 minute drive to the airport.
I still could have made the flight if I flew out 5.5 miles off shore at <1500 AGL to avoid busting JFK Bravo and the TFR. NO GO.
The other option is to depart north and fly around Bravo outer ring to the north, west to north Jersey, and them south around Teterboro and Newark to central Jersey. 45nm trip turns into about 110nm.
I will do it another day.
