TIPTOEING THROUGH TFRS
On a recent flight, I heard a Cessna 172 pilot requesting
flight following to Montgomery County Airpark Airport
(GAI) in Gaithersburg, Maryland. The controller asked
him if he had a Special Flight Rules Area (SFRA) flight
plan on file. The pilot responded he did not need one since
GAI was outside the D.C. Flight Restricted Zone (FRZ).
The controller told him he either had to get on the flight
service frequency or land and call [the SFRA flight plan]
in. The pilot said he'd try flight service; a few minutes later

he said he was going to land at Carroll County
Regional Airport (DMW) in Westminster,
Maryland, and call it in. Clearly, the pilot was
not familiar with the procedures despite the
numerous advisories that have been published
for the past decade. Also a clear failure of
preflight planning. TFR review should be
included in pilot training and every BFR-your
student's life may depend on it.

AOPA has good up-to-date intel on TFRs,
including text and map. Easy to access under the
Go Fly tab (aopa.org/go-fly/tfrs).
-Norm Anderson
Editor's note: Please check notams frequently and
ask for active VIP TFRs that can pop up at any time
during this fall's presidential election campaigns.
