Goes Into Effect At 1530 On Game Day
The FAA has posted details about the TFR it has put in place for
the Super Bowl next Sunday. The restrictions will be in place from
1530 to 2359 CST on February 6th.
The TRF is divided into an inner and outer ring. The outer ring
has a radius of 30nm. It will be centered on the MAVERICK VOR/DME
(TTT) 197 degree radial at 6.8 nautical miles. (Latitude:
32º45'52"N, Longitude: 97º05'34"W) and is in effect from
the surface to FL180. The 10nm inner ring has the same center point
and also extends to FL180.
No pilots may operate an aircraft in the areas covered by this
NOTAM (except as described).
Except as specified below and/or unless authorized by ATC:
All aircraft operations within the 10 NM ring area listed above
are prohibited except for approved law enforcement, military
aircraft, approved air ambulance, and regularly scheduled
commercial passenger and all-cargo carriers operating under one of
the following TSA-approved standard security programs/procedures:
Aircraft Operator Standard Security Program (AOSSP), Full-All Cargo
Aircraft Operator Standard Security Program (FACAOSSP), Model
Security Program (MSP), Twelve Five Standard Security Program
(TFSSP) All Cargo Only, Or All-Cargo International Security
Procedure (ACISP) And Are Arriving Into And/Or Departing From 14
CFR Part 139 Airports.
General Aviation (GA) operations are not permitted at
Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport (KDFW), Grand Prairie
Municipal Airport (KGPM) and Arlington Municipal Airport
(KGKY).
For operations within the airspace between the 10 NM ring and 30
NM ring listed above, known as the outer ring: all aircraft
operating within the outer ring listed above are limited to
aircraft arriving or departing local airfields, and workload
permitting, ATC may authorize transit operations. Aircraft may not
loiter. All aircraft must be on an active IFR or VFR flight plan
with a discrete code assigned by an Air Traffic Control (ATC)
facility. Aircraft must be squawking the discrete code prior to
departure and at all times while in the TFR and must remain in
two-way radio communications with ATC.
Special procedures to operate VFR into and out of the following
fringe airports: Cleburne Municipal Airport (KCPT), Parker County
Airport (KWEA), Kittyhawk Airport (0T7) and Mesquite Metro Airport
(KHQZ): a. Pilots are not required to file a flight plan for
arrivals or departures. b. The aircraft must squawk code 1201 for
KCPT, 1202 for KWEA, 1205 for 0T7 or 1206 for KHQZ to indicate the
pilot's intent to arrive or depart the airport. c. Aircraft must
squawk the appropriate code before departing. Departing aircraft
must immediately exit the TFR after departure before proceeding on
course. If departing a fringe airport and intending to land at an
airport in the outer ring of the TFR, all aircraft must comply with
paragraph 3 above. d. Arriving aircraft should squawk the
appropriate code 5NM prior to entering the TFR. When landing at a
fringe airport, pilots must enter the TFR at the point closest to
the destination airport and proceed via the most direct route. e.
Pilots need not contact ATC unless otherwise directed, but contact
with ATC is recommended.
VFR Operations for Rhome Meadows Airport (T76) and Heritage
Creek Airstrip Airport (58T) are authorized however, due to the
proximity to the TFR boundary and to assist Federal agencies in
identifying aircraft and pilot intent, pilots arriving or departing
these airports should squawk a specific airport code. The airport
code for T76 is 1203 and 58T is 1204.
For operations within this TFR, all emergency/life saving
flights (air ambulance/law enforcement/firefighting) and DoD
flights must coordinate with the FAA at the Super Bowl Air
Operations Center (AOC) prior to their departure at 817-468-2112
extension 3003 to avoid potential delays.
The following operations are not authorized within this TFR:
flight training, practice instrument approaches, aerobatic flight,
glider operations, parachute operations, ultralight, hang gliding,
balloon operations, tethered aerostats/balloons, agriculture/crop
dusting, animal population control flight operations, banner towing
operations, model aircraft operations, model rocketry,
seaplane/amphibious water operations, and unmanned aerial systems
(UAS).
Any person operating an aircraft within this TFR who becomes
aware of an inability to comply with the requirement to
continuously squawk the ATC assigned transponder code must
immediately request control instructions and comply with all
instructions from ATC. If unable to contact ATC, pilots must exit
the TFR by the most direct lateral route.
FAA recommends that all aircraft operators check NOTAMs
frequently for possible changes to this TFR prior to operations
within this region.
The System Operations Support Center, is the point of contact
and coordination facility for any questions regarding this NOTAM
and are available daily from 0600-2200 Eastern, phone
202-267-8276.
