AEA-500 Briefing

Subject: Revised (relaxed) Temporary Flight Restrictions (TFR) Over New York City and Washington DC

Background: The FAA has announced the next step toward returning the National Airspace System to normal. Some Temporary Flight Restrictions will be cancelled, some new TFR's will be introduced. The following is a breakdown of the status of the NAS once those new directives are implemented.

• First things first: FDC NOTAMS 1/0613, 1/0617 and 1/0628 have been RE­issued as 1/3355, 1/3356, and 1/3359. The new wording removes any references to Enhanced Class B (ECB). Therefore. ECB no longer exists.

• Training Flights: Training operations are approved in all airspace other than the airspace within the TFR's, but only for aircraft weighing 12,500 pounds or less.

• Flight Service should stress (in briefings to pilots) the consequences of penetrating these TFRs. Be it intentional/unintentional.

Washington DC area:

• All part 91 operations are prohibited [generally] within 15 Statute Miles of the Washington Monument from the surface up to 17,999 feet. See attached depiction for actual parameters.

Impacts:

• Freeway Airport and 1 NMR around it are excluded from that TFR. • College Park, Hyde Executive and Potomac Airport arrivals and departures will

be allowed to operate as per procedures constructed. See attached procedures .

Secretary Mineta Announces Further Restoration of Flights Reagan National Airport

U.S. Transportation Secretary Norman Y. Mineta today announced a further restoration of flight operations at Washington's Ronald Reagan National Airport (DCA). The expansion, or Phase III, will begin on Wednesday, Jan. 2, pending the implementation of further enhanced security measures at all airports that will again be serving DCA.

"With Phase III we continue to restore services at Reagan National Airport, an important symbol of the enduring strength of our nation," said Secretary Mineta.

"The Bush Administration will continue to work with aviation and law enforcement officials to ensure the safety of flight operations at DCA as we move toward returning service to its pre-Sept. 11 level."

Phase III will be carried out in three stages, with a second stage of additional flights to be permitted Feb. 1 and a third stage on March 1. Service to a

•

e

total of 43 additional cities will be restored during this phase. At the completion of Phase III, approximately 620 daily flights will be operated at Reagan National, 77 percent of its pre-Sept. 11 total.

Service to Reagan National was suspended between Sept. 11 and Oct. 4. During the first phase of restored flights, service was allowed to eight cities. Phase II, which began Oct. 26, permitted service to an additional 18 cities. Today's announcement will return authorization to serve all airports that had non­stop flights to DCA prior to September 11 ..

The following is a list of cities eligible for service by each airline at DCA under Phase III, and the date service may resume:

Beginning Jan. 2, service will be authorized for:

Secretary Mineta

Announces Further Restor

RFC822.TXT

..

Today the President will meet with the House and Senate bipartisan congressional leadership to discuss a broad range of issues, including steps to win the war against terrorism, strengthen our economy, and help workers who have lost their jobs.

1i:'J Message: The President is grateful for the patriotic spirit of bipartisanship that members of Congress in both parties continue to demonstrate. The terrorist attacks were designed to break our nation apart- instead, they have bound our nation and our leaders together.

The President will also announce today that Ronald Reagan National Airport will re-open this Thursday, October 4.

li:1 Message: Ronald Reagan National Airport stands as a beacon to freedom on the Potomac. The President has crafted strong new measures to help ensure airline and aircraft safety. On behalf of every citizen, passenger, crew member and pilot, the President wants to make America's system of airline security stronger, more aggressive and more reliable. When terrorists struck America they wanted to create an atmosphere of fear- and they have failed. America will not surrender our freedom to travel - or our way of life.

Questions and Answers

The airport will open this Thursday, October 4, for commercial operations. On Thursday shutUe seJVice to New York and Boston will resume, and flights to the other six cities will begin as soon as the new security measures are in place -which could be as early as Thursday.

Q: How were the carriers and cities chosen for Phase I? How will they be chosen for Phase II?

Phase I operations were aimed at restoring at least some service to the carriers with the largest number of flights at DCA prior to September 11. Phase II will seek to restore some service to virtually all carriers operating in DCA prior to September 11.

Q: What are the increased security measures?

Security will be strengthened in a number of ways -- many of the security measures will be visible and many will not. New security measures will include:

~ Implementing the Federal Air Marshals program for DCA air traffic. ~ Limiting passengers carry-on baggage to one bag plus one personal item (a purse or briefcase). ~ Random hand-wanding of passengers at the gate.

Identification check and boarding pass match as passengers board aircraft Departures to DCA from approved cities allowed only from pre-designated, specially secured gates Expanded police and canine patrols of the secure areas.

~ Enhanced scrutiny of vehicles and employees that enter the air operations area. ~ Flight crews dedicated to DCA only, with mandatory pre-flight screening of crews. ~ Requiring straight-line flight approaches and departures, temporarily discontinuing the "river visual approach" used

to mitigate noise. ~ DCA will implement a public security awareness program.

Q: Will there be a Federal Air Marshal on every flight into and out of Reagan Aimort?

For purposes of security we will not discuss the numbers and deployment for the Air Marshal program. However, we recognize the importance and significance of their presence and we are committed to implementing a highly effective security program at Reagan National Airport

Q: What about security at the destination and originating cities, will the security measures be the same?

The same heightened security measures will be the same at both the destination and originating cities.

Q: How long will Phase I last?

I will be in place for about three weeks. This time will give the FAA, DOD, Secret Service, other law enforcement :~~1\.II:A), the airports, and airlines an opportunity to evaluate operations before moving forward.

..

Passengers have shown great patience during the aftermath following the September 11 tragedy and we ask for their continued patience as we put in place additional measures to make their airports, airlines and aircraft safer. Passengers will be limited to one carry-on bag and one personal item for DCA flights. Additional identification checks will be required before passengers board the aircraft Passengers will want to get to the airport a litUe earlier than usual but passengers can also rest assured that they will be safer than ever before.

Q: Will airlines use the same flight approaches they have in the past? What about noise restrictions for local residents?

Different flight approaches will be used which may increase aircraft noise for some residents. Operations at DCA are temporarily being limited to between 7 a.m. and 10 p.m. to help reduce the impacts on residents.

Q: How have the circumstances changed to allow you to open Reagan aimort?

The Administration wanted to take every step possible to ensure safety for passengers who use Reagan Airport. The Administration studied Reagan's special circumstances and location, worked government-wide to craft a new security plan and tough new security procedures, and now is ready to re-open the airport. Reagan Airport has many great economic benefits and is significant to the region. The Administration is excited to see people flying again in and out of

Reagan Airport

General aviation flights will not be allowed in the initial two phases.

Q: Why not open the aimort entirely?

The Administration brought America's air traffic system up in phases to ensure that every possible safety and security precaution was considered and implemented. The Administration thinks it is important to move forward in a deliberative, careful manner. We are taking the same approach here.

Opening Ronald Reagan National Airport Reagan National Airport (DCA) will reopen on Thursday, October 4th for commercial operations. On

hnr1lr1Situ shuttle service to New York and Boston will resume, and flights to the other six cities will begin as soon as the new security measures are in place- which could be as early as Thursday. Resumption of flights at DCA will take place in phases over an initial two-month period and extraordinary security measures Will be in place for all approved flights. The President has identified the initial two phases that will lead to a resumption of nonnal commercial operations, with details of subsequent stages to be announced after review of initial flight operations.

Phase I. Initial Shuttle and Hub Connections (Duration: approximately 3 weeks}

> Extraordinary security measures - the most exacting in the nation -- in place at DCA and all connecting terminals at connecting airports (see below).

> Commercial airlines only. > Flights to eight hub airports served by six airlines, with slot restrictions determined by the Department of Transportation. The

service will include: ./ New York LaGuardia- Delta Shuttle and US Nrways Shuttle ./ Boston - Delta Shuttle, US Nrways Shuttle and American .,/ Atlanta - Delta and US Nrways ./ Pittsburgh - US Nrways ./ Chicago- American and United ./ Dallas- American and Delta ./ Minneapolis -Northwest ./ Newark - Continental Aircraft size is limited to 156 seats or less. Operations at DCA only between 7a.m. and 10p.m.

Phase I will allow approximately 190 flights-per-day (24 percent of the 792 scheduled commercial flights prior to 9111).

Phase II. Expanded Hub Connection (Duration: 30-45 days following Phase IJ

> All Phase I operations and operational requirements remain in effect, with the exception that the number of flights to each location may increase to previously scheduled levels.

> Direct flights to an additional10 cities (18 total), with locations to be determined. If preexisting schedules were resumed, Phase II would allow approximately 450 flights-per-day (57 percent of the 792 scheduled commercial flights prior to 9111).

Enhanced Security Measures

Security will be strengthened in numerous ways by the FAA, the Department of Defense, the Secret Service, other law enforcement agencies, the airport authorities and airlines. Many of the security measures will be visible and many will not. Examples of new security measures include:

> Implementing the Federal PJr Marshals program for DCA air traffic. > Limiting passengers carry-on baggage to one bag plus one personal item (a purse or briefcase). > Random hand-wanding of passengers at the gate. > Identification check and boarding pass match as passengers board aircraft. > Departures to DCA from approved cities allowed only from pre-designated, specially secured gates > Expanded police and canine patrols of the secure areas.

Enhanced scrutiny of vehicles and employees that enter the air operations area. Flight crews dedicated to DCA only, with mandatory pre-flight screening of crews. Requiring straight-line flight approaches and departures, temporarily discontinuing the "river visual approach" used to mitigate noise.

> DCA will implement a public security awareness program.

Bob Ocon told me that last you handed the responsibilit LCON coverage to ZNY after 8 PM. I worked out with Rick over the past few weeks th ZDC wo d pick up that responsibility on Sunday, November 18 at 8 PM UFN. Accordingly, we ve uced our administrative support for TELCON coverage. ZNY will continue to monitor the national TELCON at the watch desk after 8 PM. However, the 'Bunker' will not be staffed after 8 PM, on Holidays or weekends.

Good Afternoon,

For the past two months, I've asked you to interupt your personal schedules and life to cover 'Bunker Duty.' I truly appreciate your efforts. At most times, Bunker Duty is rediculously boring and tedious. On some occasions, it's busy. At all times, it's a big help to the Watch Desk and a tremendous asset to me. This Monday, it paid for itself during the AAL587 accident. The Bunker Specialist, Bob Ocon, picked up on the missing aircraft thru the TELCON. lmmediatly, Bob called me at home while providing communication and coordination assistance to the Watch Desk.

Due to it's success in rapid communication, the National and Regional TELCON's will continue. '"'n'"·"''"""'r, this Sunday Evening, ZDC will take over AEA coverage when the RO is off-line. This rovides us with scheduling flexibility.

We'll continue Bunker Coverage from 8 AM to 8 PM on administrative work days. The Watch Desk

~:be_ ])o~

~\c.c~.s Af"-rt:R. ~c~r\s

will pick up the National TELCON from 8 PM to 8 AM and during Holidays/Weekends.

I want to thank you and your families for your extra duty and time.

Mike

To All:

The attached document reflects some changes to the bunker duty and telcon coverage. Briefly the schedule coverage will remain the same until this Sunday at 8 pm on November 18. At that point Washington Center will assume the Eastern Region responsibilities and our watch desk will monitor the national telcon from 8 pm to 8 am and on holidays and weekends. The bunker will still cover the Eastern Region and national telcons from 8 am to 8 pm. Monday through Friday. The attached schedule reflects that change. If you show a day shift- your coverage is from 8 am to 2 pm. If your office has the night shift you should relieve in the bunker at 2 pm and stay until 8 pm and at that point turn the national telcon coverage over to the watch desk.

hope this works for all of you. Thanks for your support thus far.

The amendment did not change the primary responsibility (O?R) for issuing a TtR in ccordance with Section 91.137. The OPR for this specific regu!ation remains with the Regional ATD Managers or their de ignee. As you review the rule, please pay close attention to t intent of this particular rule, which is for disaster or a'ard situations. This rule is not intended to address event such as weddings or parades. Additionally, Special Operations, ATP-200, coneinues to be the CPR for flight restrictions issued in accordance with Section 91.141 flight Restrictions in the Proxi~ity of the Pre~iden~ial and Other Parties.

Further, we will be reviewing all of the for national defense/national security, a with the appropriate agency, the related cancelled or reissued in accordance with Emergency Air Traffic Rules and/or Sectio of Air Traffic.
