His visit will be accompanied by many flight restrictions. Beginning in Los Angeles, there will be a large 30-nautical-mile-radius temporary flight restriction (TFR) with three 10-nm-radius general aviation no-fly zones. The TFR will be centered on the LAX VOR's 11-degree radial at 8.7 miles and extend to Flight Level 180. It will be in effect from 12:25 p.m. local on Wednesday, March 3, to 9 a.m. local on Thursday, March 4. The three no-fly zones will have different effective times within that period. See AOPA Online for the full text of the notam ( http://www.aopa.org/whatsnew/notams.html#4/1648 ). The affected public-use airports for Los Angles are Santa Monica Municipal (SMO), Los Angeles International (LAX), Jack Northrop Field/Hawthorne Municipal (HHR), Bob Hope (BUR), Van Nuys (VNY), Compton/Woodley (CPM), Whiteman (WHP), Zamperini Field (TOA), El Monte (EMT), Long Beach/Daugherty Field (LGB), Fullerton Municipal (FUL), Agua Dulce Airpark (L70), and Brackett Field (POC). In Bakersfield, there will be a 30-nm-radius TFR with one GA no-fly zone. The TFR will be centered on the EHF VOR's 138-degree radial at 4.6 miles from 8:40 a.m. to 11:20 a.m. local on Thursday, March 4. The 10-nm no-fly zone will be active during that same timeframe. See the full text of the notam ( http://www.aopa.org/whatsnew/notams.html#4/1650 ). The affected public-use airports for Bakersfield are Meadows Field (BFL), Bakersfield Municipal (L45), Shafter-Minter Field (MIT), Poso-Kern County (L73), Wasco-Kern County (L19), Elk Hills-Buttonwillow (L62), Delano Municipal (DLO), and Taft-Kern County (L17). And in Santa Clara, there will be a 30-nm-radius TFR with three 10-nm GA no-fly zones. The TFR will be centered on the SJC VOR's 306-degree radial at 2.4 miles from 11:20 a.m. to 2:25 p.m. local on Thursday, March 4. The three GA no-fly zones will have different effective times within that period. See the full text of the notam ( http://www.aopa.org/whatsnew/notams.html#4/1649 ). The affected public-use airports for Santa Clara are Norman Y. Mineta San Jose International (SJC), Palo Alto Airport of Santa Clara County (PAO), Reid-Hillview of Santa Clara County (RHV), San Carlos (SQL), Hayward Executive (HWD), Livermore Municipal (LVK), Metropolitan Oakland International (OAK), San Francisco International (SFO), Half Moon Bay (HAF), South County Airport of Santa Clara County (Q99), Watsonville Municipal (WVI), Byron (C83), and Tracy Municipal (TCY). Because TFR airspace frequently changes, AOPA strongly encourages pilots to obtain a briefing and CHECK NOTAMS before every flight. TFR violators will be intercepted and forced to land. == HELPFUL WEB LINKS == AOPA's Real-Time Flight Planner provides up-to-the-minute graphical depictions of TFRs ( http://www.aopa.org/flight_planner/ ). Check the FAA's TFR Web site ( http://tfr.faa.gov ).
