When I called the Oakland FSS today for a preflight briefing and asked about TFRs in the area I received probably the best explanation so far of what the blanket National Security NOTAM meant in practice: “Just the usual one that’s been in place for a while, you know, don’t be makin’ pylon turns around the Golden Gate bridge…”
Short Final…
Key Takeaways:
- A pilot received an informal explanation from Oakland FSS regarding a standing National Security NOTAM during a preflight briefing.
- The NOTAM was described as "the usual one" that has been in place for a while.
- The practical implication was to avoid specific maneuvers, such as "pylon turns," around the Golden Gate Bridge.
