Top officials from the FAA and the TSA will
join AOPA President Phil Boyer at the 13th annual AOPA Fly-In and
Open House on Saturday. Boyer is hosting his first Fly-In seminar
and will turn to the officials to help answer pilots' questions
about airspace restrictions around Washington, D.C.
"Between the 15-nm no-fly zone around the National Mall, the air
defense identification zone (ADIZ), and frequent changes in the
dimensions of P-40 (Camp David), the airspace over metropolitan
Washington, D.C. poses a real challenge for any pilot operating in
the Mid-Atlantic region," said Boyer.
"During my hangar session, we'll have the director
and deputy director of Air Traffic for the FAA, the deputy director
of the FAA's Airspace Management Program, and a spokesperson from
the TSA that we can turn to for answers."
The AOPA Fly-In and Open House has become the largest one-day
event of its kind in the nation. Visitors will have an opportunity
to tour the AOPA headquarters and visit one-on-one with AOPA
staff.
In addition
to Boyer's hangar session, AOPA and the Air Safety Foundation will
offer more than a dozen free seminars on topics ranging from
single-pilot IFR operations and spatial disorientation, to owning
and upgrading your own aircraft, to the aviation humor of Rod
Machado.
Out on the ramp, more than two dozen aircraft will be on
display, including the grand prize in the AOPA Centennial of Flight
Sweepstakes, a fully restored 1940 Waco UPF-7 biplane.
Several ANN staffers will be there... keep an eye out for our
coverage this weekend.
