The FAA has issued a NOTAM that will expand Prohibited Area P-49 beginning Wednesday, August 18 at 8:35 p.m. local, continuing through Thursday, August 26 at 12:30 p.m. local, for President Bush's visit to his ranch.
The TFR will extend to a 30 NM radius below 18,000. GA flight operations are prohibited within 10 NM of the TFR center. And based on previous Presidential travel, there may be smaller TFRs for arrival and departure from Waco.
Affected airports are Valley Mills Municipal (9F1), Wildcat Canyon (3T8), McGregor Executive (PWG), Clifton Municipal/Isenhower Field (7F7), Waco Regional (ACT), City-County (05F), Lake Whitney State Park (F50), TSTC Waco (CNW), Draughon-Miller Central Texas Regional (TPL), and Wings For Christ International Flight Academy (73F).
Because TFR airspace frequently changes, pilots are encouraged to obtain a briefing and CHECK NOTAMS before every flight.
