The
AOPA says, the FAA plans to establish a 30-nm-radius temporary
flight restriction when President Bush travels to the family's
seaside retreat in Kennebunkport (ME), this weekend. The TFR will
expand the existing prohibited area (P-67) around the house to a
10-nm radius, closing Biddeford (B19) and Goosefair (a private
landing facility) airports. It will also restrict operations
between 10 and 30 nm around the elder President Bush's home,
affecting operations at Portland International Airport (PWM) and 13
others (see list below). Combined, these airports are home to more
than 450 aircraft and host over 270,000 general aviation landings
and takeoffs per year.
The TFR will be in effect from 1425 local on Thursday, June 12,
until 1600 local on Sunday, June 15.

Within the 10-30 nm radius area of the TFR and below 18,000
feet, flight operations for ingress or egress only are permitted.
Aircraft must be on an active IFR or VFR flight plan with a
discrete beacon code assigned by ATC. In addition, the NOTAM does
say that air traffic control may authorize aircraft to transit the
TFR.
Pilots
are encouraged (right) to check NOTAMs prior
to all flights as changes may occur.
The airports that will be closed by this TFR are Biddeford (B19)
and Goosefair (private). The airports that will be affected within
the 10-30 nm ring include: Portland International Airport (PWM),
Limington Harmon (63B), Sanford Regional (SFM), Skyhaven (DAW),
Littlebrook (3B4), Pease International (PSM), Hampton (7B3), Sky
Dive Lebanon (private), Acton (private), Buzzy (private), Little
Ossipee Lake (private), Douglas (private), Webster (private), and
Oak Knoll (private) airports.
