FAA Letter to Airmen
This FAA Letter to Airmen advises of the importance of obtaining Temporary Flight Restriction (TFR) and Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) information prior to flight and includes links to internet websites that provide this information. Pilots planning on transiting the Washington, D.C. area are cautioned that with current TFRs and prohibited areas there, it is prudent to remain beyond 15 nautical miles of the DCA VOR/DME. Furthermore, pilots are reminded that violating a TFR area can lead to interception by military aircraft and possible FAA legal enforcement action being taken.

The U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has now made available to all aviators and fire staff interactive current WAC, Sectional, and GNC Aviation Charts plotted with graphical Temporary Flight Restriction (TFR) information to help pilots avoid inadvertent violation of Restricted Airspace due to fire fighting operations and other national airspace restrictions. The BLM National Aviation Office understands the importance for pilots to be aware and visualize graphically TFRs that are issued because of the low-level, dense operations of aircraft in a fire zone. Although it is the legal requirement of a pilot to rely on text based NOTAMS issued from the FAA, many times they are difficult to understand, and even more difficult to understand the extent of the flight restriction. This site will operate year round offering graphical updates at a minimum of twice daily (7am and 1pm Mountain), 7 days a week, during the fire season, and twice daily on business days throughout the rest of the year. TFR's will generally be updated much more frequently than the twice a day minimum.
