    Upon whose authority?  CSS? TFR boundaries are plain as day. USFS has no control over the airspace.

    Voluntary compliance is the most anyone can request. As far as mandating?

    Nope.

    Ah, Yes. The heady long gone days of can and do.

    I noticed Shilo getting the ball in the parking lot.  Good girl.

    Adios Mentone Launch.

    Need to suggest night flights for freight carriers exiting on 6. Landings on 24 should only be when SW surface winds are exceeding 20kts on strong NE days, a policy option they were throwing around couple years back, and daytime exits on 6 during strong NE days.

    REI’s frontman,  Ted Gablin, already made one. Havent checked the accuracy though.

    We all got to know Ted from the “race to the brewery” day back in 2019.

    TFR size reduced yesterday.Oct6TFR

    and..The convergence was well marked. 16.7k base. Sailplanes were out in force Sat and Sun flying the line from Campo to Grapevine….and back! They have ADS-B onboard and can be followed on the flight trackers.

    Luke, help me find the part in the closure order where it mentions the airspace closure departing from the boundaries shown at tfr.faa.gov.Screenshot_20241002-200148_Adblock Browser

    in reply to: FREE FLIGHT, LAUNCHES CLOSED UNTIL 30 NOV #21031

    I see the order hasnt been clarified by less ambiguous language.

    in reply to: FREE FLIGHT, LAUNCHES CLOSED UNTIL 30 NOV #21010

    It doesnt specify  residents of any specific area. So, i read it to include any and all. Cant read their minds, only what is written.

    in reply to: FREE FLIGHT, LAUNCHES CLOSED UNTIL 30 NOV #20987

    Use of USFS lands is what is what is covered by the order. Use of FS lands for launching gliders along with all other uses except accessing private property, are prohibited due to the fact that the launch, or the activity occurs on FS land.

    The order covers only FS property noted in Ex. A, not private property and definitely not airspace.
    <p style=”text-align: left;”>Just sayin. In case the crime and punishment  loyer POleece types start  thinking that seeing a glider in the sky constitutes proof of violating the order.</p>

    Look at the map?

    your links refer 2 different orders with 2 different maps.  ORDER NO. 05-12-00-24-09 is the most recent and more restrictive. The order from Sept 8 had the closure boundary at hwy 18. It is now all the way to I 15.

    maybe the BOD’s crime and punishment committee can meet with their handlers to review the sentence and grant a parole hearing or something. Gene seems to be cured and Max is out of sight.
