    IDWEST FLYER M AGAZINE JUNE/JULY 2016 Published For & By The Midwest Aviation Community Since 1978 midwestflyer.com Finding a fi x for TFRs Just about anyone who has planned a fl ight in or near a major metro area has had to worry about temporary fl ight restrictions (TFRs) at one time or another. Scrolling through dozens, even hundreds, of NOTAMs to identify TFRs that are relevant to your fl ight can be daunting. The sheer number can make it easy to miss something. But when you have access to good graphics, you can instantly see if a TFR will a ect your fl ight. Unfortunately, graphics aren’t available for every TFR. And when graphics are unavailable or are inaccurate, the number of violations goes way up. That’s why AOPA will be helping to lead an e ort to improve TFR graphics, from how the information is delivered to how it is depicted. Back in 2015, we started asking questions about the scope and extent of problems we were seeing with TFRs that either had no graphics or, maybe worse, showed incorrect graphics. After uncovering recurring issues, we asked the FAA to provide an authoritative online source of TFR information, provide TFR information in a consistent format so that automated systems used by third-party vendors can translate it into accurate graphics, and work to make the text of TFR NOTAMs more user friendly for pilots. This April, the FAA responded by formally tasking the RTCA Tactical Operations Committee to address the issues we raised and report back with recommendations within six months.
