Camp David flight restrictions expand again this weekend

Camp David airspace in Maryland is expected to expand this weekend. Pilots are cautioned to check notams before flight. The temporary flight restriction (TFR) will push out to a 10-nm radius below 18,000 feet beginning at 1400 local on Friday, February 28, and continuing through 1600 local on Sunday, March 2.

During the effective times of the notam, practice instrument approaches are prohibited within the TFR.

All operations (except military, law enforcement, and medevac) are prohibited in the 0-5 nm below 12,500 feet. In the 5-10 nm ring, aircraft must be on an active IFR or VFR flight plan with a discrete transponder code assigned by air traffic control and must maintain radio contact with ATC. All such flights must be for ingress, egress, or transit only. No flight training, aerobatic, glider, parachute, hang gliding, ultralight, aerial application, or animal control operations are permitted.
