Final Shuttle TFR Announced

Pilots Warned To Avoid KSC Area, Check NOTAMS

The FAA Friday issued a Notice to Airmen defining the TFR which will be in effect around NASA's Kennedy Space Center for the launch of the final Space Shuttle Mission, STS-135. The Shuttle Atlantis is scheduled for liftoff at 1126 EDT, although weather forecasts hold a 60% chance of showers and thunderstorms at launch time.

The heart of the restricted area is a 30-nm circle based on KSC, from the ground to unlimited altitude, between 0421 and 1246 EDT. There are to be no aircraft operations of any type in the TFR. Obviously, with a threat of weather delaying the mission, check for the latest NOTAM just before you fly.
