TFR's another question

Do TFR's affect only VFR traffic, or can you file IFR with a flight
plan and discrete transponder code and still fly through a TFR?

Depends on the TFR (and in some cases what part of the TFR) you
are transiting.

When the prezdint came to Portsmouth PSM and Manchester MHT last week,
the TFR had two components. There was a 30-mile zone in which all
aircraft had to be under the control of ATC and squawking a discrete
transponder code. That effectively grounded all the Piper Cubs in most
of the state.

In addition, there was a 10-mile no-fly zone around each airport,
which terminated earlier (and may have started later; I don't know).
Only military, scheduled airliners, and other important traffic could
fly with that zone. General aviation was held on the ground until Air
Force One was clear of Boston.

....like the "expanded P-56" TFR whenever a VIP is in residence.

Corky, Penn State's football stadium is less than three miles from the
airport (UNV), so the TFR that is set up whenever there's a football
game there includes UNV.

As I understand it, planes flying in for the game within three hours
of kickoff time must arrive IFR. But we can depart VFR (and fly AWAY)
from the stadium) by contacting NY Center before take-off.

I takeoff from Bremerton and fly IFR through the Bremerton TFR all the time.

Not all TFRs are created equal. TFRs for sporting events allow aircraft
communicating with ATC, IFR or VFR, to penetrate for arrival or departure to
an affected airport.

Related (but slightly sidebar) question for Vincent. Please forgive
me if it should have been a new topic.

Vincent, in your experience, have there been TFRs established around
the time of the arts festival? I'm thinking that what you're referring
to is a result of the stadium being full, but I'm wondering now about
other busy public events in your area. Certainly, one of the things
I'd like to do with a certificate is to fly to the festival from the
Pittsburgh area.

Most TFRs don't affect much of anything. You can fly through the stadium
TFRs when arriving or departing a field. You can fly through military TFRs
while IFR during terminal or approach operations. You can also fly through
these TFRs with a permit which you can usually get with just a phone call.
You can fly through the outer ring of Presidential TFRs with a discrete
transponder code and a flight plan.

You cannot fly through the inner ring of a Presidential TFR or through a
firefighting TFR, but you never could do that anyway. Mostly, the TFRs are
just a way of criminalizing American citizens who are going about their
rightful and legitimate business. The US government has for many decades
attempted to control the American public by making criminals of most
citizens, thus increasing their dependence on the mercy of the government.

Karl, why does Bremerton rate/require a TFR?

Thanks, Corky Scott
