Now you might think it awful brash of a tenant tearing down the walls of his apartment, and manufacturing an airplane in his bedroom to boot, but this is the Last Frontier and a fellow can't let these little things stand in his way.
(Jack Hamblin [Sport Aviation, 6/1979])

Attention Pilots:
TFR Alert!


TFR Map (Shuttle launch, June 2002)
If you're flying to Central Florida, please check the NOTAMs immediately before departure. The entire area (including MCO, MLB, COI, and X59) is frequently subjected to large TFRs (40nm radius) and the activation of restricted areas associated with Space Shuttle and unmanned launch operations at Kennedy Space Center (KSC) and Cape Canaveral Air Station (CCAS). The restricted zones are monitored closely and they are prepared to shoot down intruders if necessary. "Typical" (inadvertent) violations of the restricted areas typically result in the suspension of flying privileges for at least 5 months... this is not a good way to make more time to build an airplane!

Note that ATC is not responsible for alerting you about nearby TFRs. Since many pop-up TFRs are created with little notice (at the demand of entities such as the US Secret Service, DOD, and DHS) your controller may not even be aware of all active TFRs in your area.



Always check for NOTAMS and TFRs right before takeoff!

Want to Visit?

We welcome visitors! We are located on Florida's beautiful and family-friendly Space Coast, within an hour of many major attractions (Disney, Universal Studios, Kennedy Space Center, Tom Reilly's warbird museum, and the Valiant Air Command) and only about two hours from places like Sun 'N Fun, Fantasy of Flight, and Daytona. So that you aren't inconvenienced, we do request that you call before your visit, if possible.
