EAA reports the following development in the opening up of airspace following the events of Sept. 11. For additional information, stay tuned to http://www.eaa.org Headline: Enhanced Class B Eliminated; FAA Issues Series of NOTAMs Enhanced Class B airspace was eliminated on Wednesday, December 19, by a series of new NOTAMs issued by the FAA. In addition, the TFR locations surrounding New York City, Washington, D.C. and Boston were reduced, opening up several GA and reliever airports that had been closed to operations for 100 days following the terrorist attacks of September 11. In Washington, the TFR was reduced from an 18 nautical mile radius to a 15 nm radius around the Washington Monument from the surface up to but not including FL180. The NOTAM also provided a special 1 nm radius cutout for Freeway Airport, Mitchellville, Maryland, which allows operations to resume there for the first time since the attacks. In New York, the TFR was reduced to a two-mile radius from the point 8 nm on the 250 degree radial of the LaGuardia VOR/DME from the surface to 8000 feet AGL. In Boston, the TFR was reduced to three miles from the point 4 nm on the 317 degree radial of the Boston VOR/DME from the surface to 3000 feet AGL. The FAA has stressed that pilots that the NOTAMs issued regarding such sensitive areas as nuclear power plants and open air assemblies are still in effect. More details on these breaking developments to come. Lisa K. Wegener Executive Director International Aerobatic Club 920-426-6574 920-426-6560 Fax mailto:lwegener at eaa.org
