    This post is more important than people realize! Take yesterday as an example , I had intentions of flying a bit further west than I did and turn North until I was at the top of 2901 restricted area and thread the needle to get back home. The needle area
    is between the top of 2901 and class B Orlando, not much room for sightseeing, but after getting through that area you certainly have more room for comfort. Because of Big Brother and fast moving F-18's and 35"s the TFR has been largely expanded to cover
    areas well beyond the Restricted Area.
    When I took off yesterday the TFR area was NOT active, yet the Restricted area was HOT. I deal with this often and plan my flights outside of the restricted area. After getting West of Okeechobee I was planning to go North to Avon Park and continue as
    planned making the loop around the top of 2901 and head back East. I happen to have my phone with Foreflight and at 2.13 in the afternoon a TFR was issued and was to begin at 2.30 which gave me 17 minutes to get turned around and back East. The GPS
    indicated that I was 2000 feet away from the TFR boundary. I departed the area and when clear made a northerly track and later back hope where I once again landed back home.
    A note to all you Big Dogs out of Seminole, check the Avon Park and Winter Haven airspace before making a costly mistake. I know that you guys go up and down Hwy 27 following each other so take foreflight with you and check the TFR postings. Old Bob, The
    Purist

    Neither Skyvector or the FAA SUA website (https://sua.faa.gov/sua/siteFrame.app) show a
    TFR in that area at this moment. There is no way the FAA can expect pilots to be aware of
    a TFR with only 17 minutes notice. Even in my Phoenix, with an EFIS that shows TFRs using
    ASDB info, I'd be likely to miss it. I think only an emergency could justify that, and
    military aircraft would have to sweep the area to direct aircraft out of the area, and
    then patrol the boundary to prevent aircraft from entering.

    I don't know if this the same issue, but I have seen a few bogus TFRs on my Dynon Skyview
    EFIS. In those cases (at least three times), the FAA said they did not issue the TFRs that
    showed on my screen, and Dynon said Skyview gets TFR data from the same ADSB data that has
    the weather information. The bogus TFRs were not there at the beginning of the flights.

    Ok Bob I found it. It's not a TFR it's a MOA. that makes all the differance.
    The FAA has finalized plans to amend special-use airspace over the Avon Park Air Force Range in central Florida.

    The final rule subdivides the Lake Placid MOA into three separate areas, adds one sector above the existing Avon East MOA, and converts two MOAs to restricted areas. The changes represent a mixed bag for general aviation: On one hand, dividing the MOA
    into three will allow the military to activate only those sectors needed for a mission, leaving the other sectors open for use by the public; and there are no changes to the overall lateral dimensions of the complex. On the other hand, the new restricted
    areas and addition of an MOA will further limit GA operations in the area.

    “AOPA has worked to educate the Air Force about the need for general aviation access to the Avon Park area,” said AOPA Manager of Air Traffic Services Tom Kramer. “With the subdivision of the Lake Placid MOA, GA pilots will have greater access
    through this busy airspace.”

    The Lake Placid MOA will now be three MOAs: Lake Placid North, East, and West. Additional times of use will now include “other times by notam.” Avon East High MOA will be added from 14,000 feet msl up to but not including 18,000 feet msl above Avon
    East MOA. The Avon North and South MOAs will become Restricted Areas R-2901 M and N, respectively. Effective times of the Basinger and Marian MOAs will now include “other times by notam.” These changes take effect July 29 at 0901 Zulu.

    MOA into three will allow the military to activate only those sectors needed for a mission, leaving the other sectors open for use by the public; and there are no changes to the overall lateral dimensions of the complex. On the other hand, the new
    restricted areas and addition of an MOA will further limit GA operations in the area.

    “AOPA has worked to educate the Air Force about the need for general aviation access to the Avon Park area,” said AOPA Manager of Air Traffic Services Tom Kramer. “With the subdivision of the Lake Placid MOA, GA pilots will have greater access
    through this busy airspace.”

    The Lake Placid MOA will now be three MOAs: Lake Placid North, East, and West. Additional times of use will now include “other times by notam.” Avon East High MOA will be added from 14,000 feet msl up to but not including 18,000 feet msl above
    Avon East MOA. The Avon North and South MOAs will become Restricted Areas R-2901 M and N, respectively. Effective times of the Basinger and Marian MOAs will now include “other times by notam.” These changes take effect July 29 at 0901 Zulu.
    OOPS this is a AOPA article from May 27, 2010
    Well, that hasn't happened, the problem is that Foreflight treats NOTAM's the same as TFR"s and if you are flying along and paying attention in a suspect airspace the Foreflight screen will depict the MOA area as a TFR and there is no color designation
    between the TFR and the MOA. Also the MOA restricted area is extended outward of the restricted area as defined on the map. This is absolutely nuts! OBTP

    I don't know if this the same issue, but I have seen a few bogus TFRs on my Dynon Skyview
    EFIS. In those cases (at least three times), the FAA said they did not issue the TFRs that
    showed on my screen, and Dynon said Skyview gets TFR data from the same ADSB data that has
    the weather information. The bogus TFRs were not there at the beginning of the flights.

    It’s been close to 50 years now when I came very close to colliding with a B-52! I was flying my little home built Duster out of Minden, Nevada. I was right over Mono Lake at 16,000 feet when I spotted a big ship to my left. He looked to be on a
    collision course, but was a good 1000 feet below me. He kept getting bigger and bigger as I suddenly realized he was CLIMBING! Too late to maneuver and I wasn’t going to show him my belly and not see my demise! He passed right under me so close that I
    could see the copilot reading his checklist! I waited for the turbulence, but not even a bump! If he had passed over me, the vortex and jet thrust would have turned that little wooden ship into kindling! They never saw me!
    Later, I remembered that the little island in Mono Lake is the exit point for a low level Oil Burner route at exactly 16,000 feet………….I know this because I had flown that same route several times during my Air Force days!
    Who else has had a close encounter with heavy metal?

    Unless the rules have changed, an MOA is not restricted airspace. It's
    a military operating area and you and I have as much right to fly there
    as the military.

    Having said that, I've been asked by ATC if I would mind deviating
    around a "hot" MOA and I have never declined that request. I also
    inquire as to the status of an MOA that I plan to enter or cross.

    I flew that route many times B52G in the mid 70s it was called OB-10 Hawthorne. We went low level 800 AGL and hit 4 simulated targets at Hawthorne and exited around Mono Lake at 16000 MSL. I am sure that is when wokeness started as the Oil Burner
    name was changed to Olive Branch.

    Ya, Dan - if you're IFR you are just seperated from an active MOA without discussion. If VFR in contact with ATC, they pretty much have to disown you if you're not planning to avoid it.

    Me and my buddy were canoeing the east shore of Lk. Superior some decades ago when we heard a rumbling similar to distant thunder. No CBs in sight and I knew there was a local military training route.

    We were treated to the sight of a couple Buffs looking to inhale low level sea gulls.

    I don't know if this the same issue, but I have seen a few bogus TFRs on my Dynon Skyview
    EFIS. In those cases (at least three times), the FAA said they did not issue the TFRs that
    showed on my screen, and Dynon said Skyview gets TFR data from the same ADSB data that has
    the weather information. The bogus TFRs were not there at the beginning of the flights.

    Ok Bob I found it. It's not a TFR it's a MOA. that makes all the differance.
    The FAA has finalized plans to amend special-use airspace over the Avon Park Air Force Range in central Florida.

    The final rule subdivides the Lake Placid MOA into three separate areas, adds one sector above the existing Avon East MOA, and converts two MOAs to restricted areas. The changes represent a mixed bag for general aviation: On one hand, dividing
    the MOA into three will allow the military to activate only those sectors needed for a mission, leaving the other sectors open for use by the public; and there are no changes to the overall lateral dimensions of the complex. On the other hand, the new
    restricted areas and addition of an MOA will further limit GA operations in the area.

    “AOPA has worked to educate the Air Force about the need for general aviation access to the Avon Park area,” said AOPA Manager of Air Traffic Services Tom Kramer. “With the subdivision of the Lake Placid MOA, GA pilots will have greater
    access through this busy airspace.”

    The Lake Placid MOA will now be three MOAs: Lake Placid North, East, and West. Additional times of use will now include “other times by notam.” Avon East High MOA will be added from 14,000 feet msl up to but not including 18,000 feet msl
    above Avon East MOA. The Avon North and South MOAs will become Restricted Areas R-2901 M and N, respectively. Effective times of the Basinger and Marian MOAs will now include “other times by notam.” These changes take effect July 29 at 0901 Zulu.
    OOPS this is a AOPA article from May 27, 2010
    Well, that hasn't happened, the problem is that Foreflight treats NOTAM's the same as TFR"s and if you are flying along and paying attention in a suspect airspace the Foreflight screen will depict the MOA area as a TFR and there is no color
    designation between the TFR and the MOA. Also the MOA restricted area is extended outward of the restricted area as defined on the map. This is absolutely nuts! OBTP
    Ya, Dan - if you're IFR you are just seperated from an active MOA without discussion. If VFR in contact with ATC, they pretty much have to disown you if you're not planning to avoid it.
    sgs, you know this better than anyone, but I was caught in a bad situation a couple years back and needed ATC help. I called Miami ctr and requested help getting through the hot restricted area. It took a minute or two and I was given a code to sq and a
    timeframe of 15 minutes to get through, in which I did. After landing I called the mission desk and was informed that that space while hot is not governed by atc Miami and they pretty much wash their hands of any IFR and VFR traffic within the restricted
    altitudes. OBTP

    Well that's absolutely not true of IFR traffic - they keep you out or arrange to let you in. If you're BFR they'll advisevyou to stay out, then wash their hands - unless you're in distress.

    OBTP, it is very impure to be fondling such gadgetry in flight. Never catch me with it! Take that F-106 buzz the old-fashioned way!
    Well, back in the day it was the boys from Homestead that would buzz us in their F-4"s could see that black smoke coming from miles away and talk to them on the radio as they chuckled. Myself along with Bennie and Alfonso did a bit of testing for
    their radar systems to determine if they could identify us. Most of the time they just gave up and we had to tell them where we were. Yep, gadgetry has really dumb down this sport. Old Bob, The Purist
    It’s been close to 50 years now when I came very close to colliding with a B-52! I was flying my little home built Duster out of Minden, Nevada. I was right over Mono Lake at 16,000 feet when I spotted a big ship to my left. He looked to be on a
    collision course, but was a good 1000 feet below me. He kept getting bigger and bigger as I suddenly realized he was CLIMBING! Too late to maneuver and I wasn’t going to show him my belly and not see my demise! He passed right under me so close that I
    could see the copilot reading his checklist! I waited for the turbulence, but not even a bump! If he had passed over me, the vortex and jet thrust would have turned that little wooden ship into kindling! They never saw me!
    Later, I remembered that the little island in Mono Lake is the exit point for a low level Oil Burner route at exactly 16,000 feet………….I know this because I had flown that same route several times during my Air Force days!
    Who else has had a close encounter with heavy metal?
    JJ

    Back in the early to mid 70's we'd be flying hang gliders above Tater Hill off of 421 north of Boone, N.C. and the B52's would be running the OB14, crossing the top of Tater and below us! What a sight!

    Nope, it's also their problem, and the firefighters, too. They can't ensure flight safety
    with a TFR without ensuring pilots have a way to access the information. What do they do
    about aircraft already inside the TFR area when they issue the TFR, or those heading into
    the area? Your reference doesn't address these compliance issues.

    Permission was denied so he declared an emergency. When asked the

    I don't know if this the same issue, but I have seen a few bogus TFRs on my Dynon Skyview
    EFIS. In those cases (at least three times), the FAA said they did not issue the TFRs that
    showed on my screen, and Dynon said Skyview gets TFR data from the same ADSB data that has
    the weather information. The bogus TFRs were not there at the beginning of the flights.

    Ok Bob I found it. It's not a TFR it's a MOA. that makes all the differance.
    The FAA has finalized plans to amend special-use airspace over the Avon Park Air Force Range in central Florida.

    The final rule subdivides the Lake Placid MOA into three separate areas, adds one sector above the existing Avon East MOA, and converts two MOAs to restricted areas. The changes represent a mixed bag for general aviation: On one hand, dividing
    the MOA into three will allow the military to activate only those sectors needed for a mission, leaving the other sectors open for use by the public; and there are no changes to the overall lateral dimensions of the complex. On the other hand, the new
    restricted areas and addition of an MOA will further limit GA operations in the area.

    “AOPA has worked to educate the Air Force about the need for general aviation access to the Avon Park area,” said AOPA Manager of Air Traffic Services Tom Kramer. “With the subdivision of the Lake Placid MOA, GA pilots will have greater
    access through this busy airspace.”

    The Lake Placid MOA will now be three MOAs: Lake Placid North, East, and West. Additional times of use will now include “other times by notam.” Avon East High MOA will be added from 14,000 feet msl up to but not including 18,000 feet msl
    above Avon East MOA. The Avon North and South MOAs will become Restricted Areas R-2901 M and N, respectively. Effective times of the Basinger and Marian MOAs will now include “other times by notam.” These changes take effect July 29 at 0901 Zulu.
    OOPS this is a AOPA article from May 27, 2010
    Well, that hasn't happened, the problem is that Foreflight treats NOTAM's the same as TFR"s and if you are flying along and paying attention in a suspect airspace the Foreflight screen will depict the MOA area as a TFR and there is no color
    designation between the TFR and the MOA. Also the MOA restricted area is extended outward of the restricted area as defined on the map. This is absolutely nuts! OBTP
    Ya, Dan - if you're IFR you are just seperated from an active MOA without discussion. If VFR in contact with ATC, they pretty much have to disown you if you're not planning to avoid it.
    sgs, you know this better than anyone, but I was caught in a bad situation a couple years back and needed ATC help. I called Miami ctr and requested help getting through the hot restricted area. It took a minute or two and I was given a code to sq
    and a timeframe of 15 minutes to get through, in which I did. After landing I called the mission desk and was informed that that space while hot is not governed by atc Miami and they pretty much wash their hands of any IFR and VFR traffic within the
    restricted altitudes. OBTP








    The restricted area north of Cal City was always listed as active, but Navy controllers would sometimes tell glider pilots if the range was hot or not………..we took that to mean we could safely use the western ridge located inside the restricted area!

    Oh, IIRC the restricted area was an artillery range. I'd hate to fly through there at the wrong time!

    Hey Bob, I thought you had a system down for this. Mission desk should be able to tell you which frequency you can call on to check the real-time status vs. whatever your transit scheme is. Of course, if they tell you it's going hot at XX:XX and you
    don't clear in time there's likely to be some hullabaloo. By the way, a landout in the actual AGR would piss off somebody and-uh look out for the UXO!






    Back in the late ‘60’s there was a soaring pilot that had a thick German accent who got lost somewhere north of LosVegas. He ended up landing on a dry lake that was used in testing A bombs! They thought they had a spy for sure!
    A German that had two spy cameras attached to his canopy!!!
    They interrogated him for a solid week and didn’t return his German Spy ship (H-301 Libelle) for another month!
    I talked to him 10 years later and he was still too upset to even talk about it!

    Wow, in 1960 Dick Schreder was in a sailplane competition in West Germany and accidentally strayed across the border into East Germany. He and his sailplane were released and returned to the West in 24 hours. The commies didn't make a big deal out of
    it apparently.

    KO landed at the Pratt & Whitney strip NW of PBI on a Sunday not very long after 9/11. Didn't dump his ballast, didn't have his wallet!! Not exactly area 51 but they do defence work there. Guards were very not-happy to have a bearded guy with an accent
    and no ID dripping stuff all over the place. Yeah, sure, it's just water, buddy...took a few hours to settle things but QuiQue is still laughing about it.

    sq and a timeframe of 15 minutes to get through, in which I did. After landing I called the mission desk and was informed that that space while hot is not governed by atc Miami and they pretty much wash their hands of any IFR and VFR traffic within the
    restricted altitudes. OBTP
    The restricted area north of Cal City was always listed as active, but Navy controllers would sometimes tell glider pilots if the range was hot or not………..we took that to mean we could safely use the western ridge located inside the
    restricted area!
    JJ
    That is pretty much the case with 2901, yesterday I contacted the Mission Desk and confirmed that the range was cold prior to making my flight. If there were a better way to allow us entry when the area was cold would work well, I guess that would
    be asking for too much. Old Bob, The Purist

    At some places, you can contact the controlling agency (like at Ely - "Clover Control") in
    flight. It might be cold, or they might allow you through a portion of it, even if it's hot.

    Hey Bob, I thought you had a system down for this. Mission desk should be able to tell you which frequency you can call on to check the real-time status vs. whatever your transit scheme is. Of course, if they tell you it's going hot at XX:XX and you
    don't clear in time there's likely to be some hullabaloo. By the way, a landout in the actual AGR would piss off somebody and-uh look out for the UXO!
    Hey T, I do have a great system for this and very time I call they tell me to say hello to you! My system works great and as you know that forbidden area can and will become hot on a moments notice. If you ever head out to Hwy60 at the Frostproof exit,
    those jockey's skim the tree tops headed for their ground targets on the practice strip and then pull like a gorilla getting up and out. I can assure you that you DO NOT want to be there when the area is hot. Us glider pilots are under too much scrutiny,
    primarily because of NMAC's and some yo yo's violating class B over in Tampa during a certain March timeline. Old Bob, The Purist

    Correction: the site does open in Safari on an iPhone 6, but the interface doesn't work
    well, so it's tedious to use. It doesn't even open in Chrome; possibly, a newer iPhone
    would work, as my phone can't use the iOS update of the last several years.

    That's better than nothing (and I sometimes use it for TFRs), but it doesn't show the
    status of the Restricted Areas or MOAs. Those are the main things I get from the FAA site,
    as digging it out of the NOTAMs is difficult

    Simple enough to call ABQ Center (ZAB) and ask the status. Or, since I
    have ADS-B IN in my glider, I could carry along my iPad though it's not
    very tolerant of heat or cold. OR I could call up Avare on my Andriod
    phone and connect it to my ADS-B.

    Fortunately, most of the Restricted Areas in NM are in the southern part
    of the state and most or our flying is in the northern part.

    A note to all you Big Dogs out of Seminole, check the Avon Park and Winter Haven airspace before making a costly mistake. I know that you guys go up and down Hwy 27 following each other so take foreflight with you and check the TFR
    postings. Old Bob, The Purist
    Bob I don't think your forflight is giving you correct info on TFR's ? My stuff does not show any new TFR's in that area.
    Can anybody else see them?
    GB
    I will send you a pic of yesterday! IT DID NOT SHOW U8NTIL AFTER 2 YESTERDAY
    I don't know if this the same issue, but I have seen a few bogus TFRs on my Dynon Skyview
    EFIS. In those cases (at least three times), the FAA said they did not issue the TFRs that
    showed on my screen, and Dynon said Skyview gets TFR data from the same ADSB data that has
    the weather information. The bogus TFRs were not there at the beginning of the flights.

    Ok Bob I found it. It's not a TFR it's a MOA. that makes all the differance.
    The FAA has finalized plans to amend special-use airspace over the Avon Park Air Force Range in central Florida.

    The final rule subdivides the Lake Placid MOA into three separate areas, adds one sector above the existing Avon East MOA, and converts two MOAs to restricted areas. The changes represent a mixed bag for general aviation: On one hand,
    dividing the MOA into three will allow the military to activate only those sectors needed for a mission, leaving the other sectors open for use by the public; and there are no changes to the overall lateral dimensions of the complex. On the other hand,
    the new restricted areas and addition of an MOA will further limit GA operations in the area.

    “AOPA has worked to educate the Air Force about the need for general aviation access to the Avon Park area,” said AOPA Manager of Air Traffic Services Tom Kramer. “With the subdivision of the Lake Placid MOA, GA pilots will have greater
    access through this busy airspace.”

    The Lake Placid MOA will now be three MOAs: Lake Placid North, East, and West. Additional times of use will now include “other times by notam.” Avon East High MOA will be added from 14,000 feet msl up to but not including 18,000 feet msl
    above Avon East MOA. The Avon North and South MOAs will become Restricted Areas R-2901 M and N, respectively. Effective times of the Basinger and Marian MOAs will now include “other times by notam.” These changes take effect July 29 at 0901 Zulu.
    OOPS this is a AOPA article from May 27, 2010
    Well, that hasn't happened, the problem is that Foreflight treats NOTAM's the same as TFR"s and if you are flying along and paying attention in a suspect airspace the Foreflight screen will depict the MOA area as a TFR and there is no color
    designation between the TFR and the MOA. Also the MOA restricted area is extended outward of the restricted area as defined on the map. This is absolutely nuts! OBTP
    OBTP, it is very impure to be fondling such gadgetry in flight. Never catch me with it! Take that F-106 buzz the old-fashioned way!
    Well, back in the day it was the boys from Homestead that would buzz us in their F-4"s could see that black smoke coming from miles away and talk to them on the radio as they chuckled. Myself along with Bennie and Alfonso did a bit of testing for
    their radar systems to determine if they could identify us. Most of the time they just gave up and we had to tell them where we were. Yep, gadgetry has really dumb down this sport. Old Bob, The Purist
    It’s been close to 50 years now when I came very close to colliding with a B-52! I was flying my little home built Duster out of Minden, Nevada. I was right over Mono Lake at 16,000 feet when I spotted a big ship to my left. He looked to be on a
    collision course, but was a good 1000 feet below me. He kept getting bigger and bigger as I suddenly realized he was CLIMBING! Too late to maneuver and I wasn’t going to show him my belly and not see my demise! He passed right under me so close that I
    could see the copilot reading his checklist! I waited for the turbulence, but not even a bump! If he had passed over me, the vortex and jet thrust would have turned that little wooden ship into kindling! They never saw me!
    Later, I remembered that the little island in Mono Lake is the exit point for a low level Oil Burner route at exactly 16,000 feet………….I know this because I had flown that same route several times during my Air Force days!
    Who else has had a close encounter with heavy metal?
    JJ

    I had a Lockheed Star Fighter do a barrel roll next to me at the same altitude while I was doing a winch launch in a Ka8. He came from behind and I could hear him but couldn't locate him. I think what saved my bacon was showing the full silhouette of the
    glider in a 45* climb. He was so close that I could see the segments of his jet nozzle and smell the exhaust gas. We had a low-level link route to the north of our field a couple of miles out, which was used by all NATO air forces but this guy may have
    taken the scenic route.
