The notams were in effect at the time stated above due to national security
concerns. Pilots must familiarize themselves with all current notam(s) before flight. Due
to rapidly changing conditions, you should obtain notam information from flight service
and/or DUATS just prior to flight. There are many temporary flight restrictions (TFRs)
throughout the country. In addition, you will see there is a "blanket" TFR
notam. The "blanket" TFR notam does not supersede any
other TFR notams. The stand-alone TFRs are of their own establishment. The notams posted
below may appear to have conflicting information in them, and they must be studied
carefully to fully understand the intended authorized operations.
