One thing I haven't seen written up too much yet is that when GWB starts up
his reelection campaign, there will be a moving 30 mile radius, up to FL180,
TFR moving around the country with up to 5-6 different stops a day.

If they plan on hammering every one who blunders into these, the FAA
enforcement division will have a 10 year backlog and the F16s will run out
of flares.

I look at ADDS and WeatherTap. Then I get a DUATS briefing
and print it out. That takes care of the legal requirement. And DUATS

is
a
good reference. If I need to file (IFR or VFR) I file it on DUATS.

Other
than a bit after 9/11 while things were in turmoil .. I seldome talk

to
FSS.

It's still in turmoil. You're well advised to continue to overburden

the
system
by calling up to see if there are any new TFR's frequently to cover your

ass.



Concur. I also prefer not having to slog through 25 pages of TFRs looking
for changes.

Also, it costs about one hour of Avgas (single engine, 10gph) to have an
AOPA panel attorney for a year should you have to "phone a friend." Not an
ad, just my perspective. IIRC, the magic words when reaching the FSS
specialist are "standard briefing".
