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.
