Some examples of TFRs are ………………………………

- 9. 9Federal Aviation Administration FAASTeam CFI Workshop #4 July 2011 Flight Service and DUATS Because TFRs and other restrictions often arise on very short notice, there is no substitute for a thorough preflight briefing from an approved source, such as Flight Service (1-800-WX-BRIEF or 1-800-992-7433) or DUAT/DUATS. NOTAMs are part of the standard briefing, but it is a good idea to ask specifically if there are any FDC NOTAMs relevant to your route of flight. Don't forget to ask for published NOTAMs, which may also be relevant. Share the following tips with your students …….
- 10. 10Federal Aviation Administration FAASTeam CFI Workshop #4 July 2011 • If you learn about the existence of a TFR in a telephone briefing from an AFSS specialist, review the text and print a copy to carry along on your flight. • The FAA's TFR website (http://tfr.faa.gov/tfr2/list.html) provides multiple options for finding a specific TFR. • In addition to reviewing the text, this website offers the option of a graphical depiction of the affected area. • There is a similar FAA graphical website for information on special use airspace. Go to http://sua.faa.gov/sua/Welcome.do for this tool.
- 11. 11Federal Aviation Administration FAASTeam CFI Workshop #4 July 2011 Chapter 3 of the Aeronautical Information Manual (AIM) describes other types of special use airspace (SUA), defined in AIM 3-4-1 as: Airspace wherein activities must be confined because of their nature, or wherein limitations are imposed on aircraft operations that are not a part of those activities, or both.
- 12. 12Federal Aviation Administration FAASTeam CFI Workshop #4 July 2011 Type of SUA Regulatory Dimensions & Purpose Depicted on chart ATC clearance needed for VFR Warning Area No 3 nm from US coast Warns non-participating pilots of activities that may be hazardous Yes No, but advisable! Military Operations Area No Defined vertical and lateral limits Separates certain military training activities, such as air combat tactics, aerobatics, and formation training, from IFR traffic Yes No, but exercise caution! Alert Areas No Defined area Informs non-participating pilots of areas that may contain a high volume of pilot training or unusual aerial activity Yes No Controlled Firing Areas No Not charted Includes activities that could be hazardous to non-participating aircraft CFA activities are suspended immediately when spotter aircraft, radar, or ground lookouts observe the approach of a non-participating aircraft. No No For example …………………
- 13. 13Federal Aviation Administration FAASTeam CFI Workshop #4 July 2011 Restricted Areas are established to separate activities considered to be hazardous to other aircraft, such as artillery firing or aerial gunnery. A Restricted Area is airspace within which the operation of aircraft is subject to restriction.
- 14. 14Federal Aviation Administration FAASTeam CFI Workshop #4 July 2011 Such areas are established when necessary to prohibit flight in the interest of national security and welfare. A Prohibited Area begins at the surface and has defined dimensions in which the flight of unauthorized aircraft is prohibited.
- 15. 15Federal Aviation Administration FAASTeam CFI Workshop #4 July 2011 National Security Areas consist of airspace of defined vertical and lateral dimensions established at locations where there is a requirement for increased security and safety of ground facilities. And ……………………..
- 16. 16Federal Aviation Administration FAASTeam CFI Workshop #4 July 2011 – Pilots are requested to voluntarily avoid flying through the depicted NSA. – When it is necessary to provide a greater level of security and safety, flight in NSAs may be temporarily prohibited by regulation under the provisions of 14 CFR Section 99.7. – Regulatory prohibitions will be issued by System Operations, System Operations Airspace and AIM Office, Airspace and Rules, and disseminated via NOTAM. – Inquiries about NSAs Inquiries should be directed to Airspace and Rules.
- 17. 17Federal Aviation Administration FAASTeam CFI Workshop #4 July 2011 Emergency Air Traffic Rules When authorities determine there is (or will be) an emergency condition affecting the FAA's ability to operate the air traffic control system with the necessary level of safety and efficiency, the Administrator may issue an air traffic rule with immediate effect – that is, a rule that does not go through the normal rule making processes. The NOTAM system is used to disseminate information on the precise impact, terms, and conditions of the emergency air traffic rule, so it is imperative to check FDC NOTAMs before every flight.
- 18. 18Federal Aviation Administration FAASTeam CFI Workshop #4 July 2011 A Special Federal Aviation Regulation (SFAR) pertaining to airspace is typically a temporary rule to address a temporary situation. – It is generally not used to replace or enforce regulations that are to remain in effect for many years. – An SFAR has an expiration date, usually no more than 3 years from its effective date. – SFARs are listed at the beginning of the most relevant Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), and may be cross-referenced to other regulations. – SFARS can prohibit, restrict, or have additional requirements to operate in the airspace the SFAR applies to.
- 19. 19Federal Aviation Administration FAASTeam CFI Workshop #4 July 2011 Air Defense Identification Zone All aircraft entering domestic U.S. airspace from points outside must provide for identification prior to entry. To facilitate early aircraft identification of all aircraft in the vicinity of U.S. and international airspace boundaries, Air Defense Identification Zones (ADIZ) have been established. For the majority of operations associated with an ADIZ, an operating two way radio is required. Unless otherwise authorized by ATC, each aircraft conducting operations, into, within, or across the Contiguous U.S. ADIZ must be equipped with an operable radar beacon transponder having altitude capability.

- 23. 23Federal Aviation Administration FAASTeam CFI Workshop #4 July 2011 The Transportation Security Administration is responsible for Restricted Airspace in most cases. Teach your students to be aware of activities at the airport and to report any abnormal occurrences. Go to the TSA web site for more information. And; Yes, if requested, we must show our ID and FAA Certificate(s) to a TSA Inspector. http://www.tsa.gov/what_we_do/index.shtm
- 24. 24Federal Aviation Administration FAASTeam CFI Workshop #4 July 2011 Remember that as a CFI, you are required to complete initial and annual TSA training. Also, we must comply with All TSA Rules governing the training of alien students. The training courses are available on line at the “What We Do” page accessible from the TSA home page. http://www.tsa.gov/what_we_do/ts nm/general_aviation/training.shtm

Editor's Notes
- FAASTeam CFI Workshop 4. Module 4, Core Topics 7 and 8 Original, V-1. Jim Leavitt CFI WS NPL, (518) 785-5660, ex 214 james.w.leavitt@faa.gov
- The FAASTeam – be a part of the personal safety system in your local community. Speak briefly about the FAASTeam mission and the CFI Special Emphasis Initiative while this slide animates, then move right along.
- Get folks settled down and focused on the topic and the hopefully obvious reason CFIs need to ensure that their students have a good understanding of the National Airspace and the importance of being able to identify Restricted/Special Use Airspace.
- Briefly check for questions or comments and move on.
- Quick review of the National Airspace system including normal limits and restrictions; VFR/VMC, IFR/IMC, etc.
- Busy slide but again, review the use of specific airspace as related to airports, navigational aids and systems, airways, and terrain.
- The next slide gives some examples of why we might see the creation of a TFR.
- You might anticipate that these events could result in a TFR along your route of flight: National disaster, major sports event, Presidential/Government Official movement, airshow, NASA launch/recovery.
- Talk about any sources of TFR information the attendees use or can think of, share the information.
- Now mention some if the potential consequences of intentionally or unintentionally flying into a TFR without authorization. Also remind the attendees that they must also educate their students of the existence of Special Flight Rule Areas (SFRA) such as the New York Corridor, and the Washington, DC SFRA. Mention potential GPS navigation pitfalls when very near a TFR or any restricted airspace border.
- If you have internet access the links may work for you. Mention the value of the AIM for students when researching airspace topics
- Run through these briefly, ask the attendees for their experiences in any of the listed types of SUA. Point out that although these areas are not regulatory safety may very well be a factor when operating in or near them.
- Not the same as SUA, these areas may be off limits altogether at regularly designated times and during unannounced times as well.
- Prohibited Areas are off limits at all times with very few if any exceptions to general aviation operations. They are normally vigorously guarded by the military.
- Certain military installations or activities, accidents, meetings of Government officials ……….
- Run through these briefly and if there are no comments move on.
- Self explanatory, mention again the importance of checking NOTAMS.
- These are published along with the other Federal Aviation Regulations and are of a comparatively short duration.
- Self explanatory, run through the slide, ask attendees for any experiences with ADIZ operations.
- Even if your attendees do not operate in the Washington, DC area or even close; remind them that their students may not always do their flying at, let’s say Grinder’s Switch Municipal, and someday they might very well benefit from a discussion now about SFRA operatons.
- Same story here, might be a good home work assignment for early cross country students of a recommendation for Flight Review clients. The training is easily available at no cost on the FAASTeam web site, FAASafety.Gov
- This information is available on line, Page 2 of AOPA ASF intercept procedures card and at FAA.Gov. A copy of this in your flight bad might not be a bad idea, especially if you find an F-16 at your 10 o’clock and don’t really know what he/she wants you to do!
- We all need to remember that we are obligated to follow the TSA Rules including those specific to flight training. Ask your attendees if they know where the Transportation Security Regulations can be found? Title 49 CFR, Chapter 12, Parts 1500-1699 from Jeppesen or on the internet.
- Encourage the attendees to go to the TSA web site and complete the training.
- This is a good chance to quickly check to see who is registered at FAASafety.Gov. Mention the value of the web site and Wings during the next couple of slides as you direct them to the courses specific to Restricted and Special Use Airspace. Instructors can make good use of the training courses provided as home work assignments for students on these and other topics.
- Briefly explain the web navigation to get to this and the next page where they can find courses on airspace.
- Selected course with stated objectives. Log in is required to take the course because otherwise there would be no way for the system to save the individual’s completion record.
- Remind the attendees that these courses may provide them and/or their students with Wings credit as well as completion certificates for the required New York and DC SFRA training.
- Brief time for Q&A, then on to a Quiz.
- Move right into the answers and allow brief discussion when necessary.
- The record of attendance should be a matter of record when you close out the Workshop in SPANS however, if anyone want you to sign their attendance sheet it is ok to do so if you wish.
