US TFR's now on soaringdata.info
Happy New Year All,
I'm pleased to announce that airspace files describing current Temporary Flight Restrictions (TFRs) in formats supporting most glide computers and planning software can now be downloaded from my website at http://www.soaringdata.info. My website gets its information from http://tfr.faa.gov, from which it downloads and then reformats the data. You can select TFRs for the entire United States or only those within a bounding circle defined by a user-specified center airport and a radius. You can select either Tim Newport-Peace (.SUA) format or OpenAir (.TXT) as the output format. You can choose to download just TFRs, or append them to a complete file containing Special Use and ATC-controlled airspace as well. All of this is still pretty seriously experimental. For heaven's sake don't rely on my website for notification of TFRs, or as the primary source of information for navigating around them -- always consult official NOTAMs for that. The source website, tfr.faa.gov, is annotated as follows: "Depicted TFR data may not be a complete listing. Pilots should not use the information on this website for flight planning purposes. For the latest information, call your local Flight Service Station at 1-800-WX-BRIEF. " Other stuff on my site includes: - Current US airport information in formats supporting most glide computers, and planning software - Special Use and ATC-controlled airspace, including popular soaring formats as well as those that support certain recreational GPS receivers - Current US sectional charts in formats supporting SeeYou and Google Earth Everything on my site is still currently free and freely redistributable for now. The FAA is, however, proposing to stop free publications of sectional charts in April, as has been discussed in other threads. Happy Downloading! Lynn Alley "2KA" |
