FAA KEEPS GRAPHICAL TFR PROMISE

From AvWeb:

FAA KEEPS GRAPHICAL TFR PROMISE
A year after promising them, FAA Administrator Marion Blakey will
announce that real-time graphical depictions of current TFRs will be
available on the FAA Web site starting today.

Another case where avweb did not check "facts" as promulgated by the FAA.

When I accessed the site the avweb recommended, it was three days
old......supposed to be updated every fifteen minutes....right.

And the hot link with the message in this string shows up as nothing but
useless data.

Yea FAA.

Perhaps so.

It now says:
WED, 5 NOV 2003 3:49 GMT.

I'm having difficulty parsing that sentence.

I found one California TRF link that would not display the TFR data
due to a Java error, and notified the webmaster. I haven't used the
graphical TFR web site enough to form an opinion, but the resolution
of the sectional overlays isn't what you'd expect.

Recently, Larry Dighera posted:

It is, if you recall your PP knowledge test... 8-)

It's current for me (but no graphics yet). In some cases you need to force
your browser to fetch the newest version of the page. Your browser caches old
pages, your server caches old pages, and there are other caches everywhere down
the line. This makes (usuallky static) web sites show up faster, but plays
havoc with dynamic ones.

To force a server refresh in IE, hold the CONTROL key down while you click the
reload icon. Try similar things in Netscape (or read the directions. The
level of caching can be set as a default.

AOL is notorious for serving cached pages. It's not a bad thing, but it's
something you should be aware of.

Thanks for the pointer. For touch typists, note that refresh in IE can
be done with the F5 key. Presumably Ctrl+F5 would have the same
result.

There's a difference between refresh and ctrl=refresh. Refresh gets a new
version onto your computer from the server, ctrl-refresh forces the server to
get a new version from the source.

Uh... what is the "server" and what is the "source"? Also, how does it
request a refresh from the "source" differently than just from the
"server"? Is there an HTTP protocol for specifying which level of
cached information is being requested?

No. They didn't.

The Bremerton TFR is STILL mapped incorrectly. It seems inconcievable that
the FAA map makers can't select a point from LAT/LON and draw a circle
around it. Last time they had it 1/2 mile NW. Now it's about 1/4 mile W.

At least they are getting closer.
