Well this is a small bit of good news!! ___________________________________________________ Part 91 IFR operations may resume at 4 p.m. 9/14/01 4:16:04 PM — The Department of Transportation has reopened the nation's airspace to IFR general aviation operations. VFR operations may be permitted later this weekend. The official notam from FAA will be issued shortly and will be posted here when available. AOPA has learned that there will be some restrictions to the IFR operations. ALL IFR flight plans must be from airport to airport. ATC will NOT accept "pop-ups" or air files. The pilot must call ATC on the ground before takeoff. No airborne cancellations will be permitted. Cancellations must be made on the ground, with an ATC facility. Pilots must check carefully for temporary flight restrictions (TFRs — listed as FDC notams). Following is the text of the press release from the Department of Transportation: September 14, 2001 DOT 97-01 Secretary Mineta Re-opens Skies to General Aviation Secretary of Transportation Norman Y. Mineta has approved restoration of the next phase of national air service, allowing certain general aviation flights back into the air effective at 4:00 p.m. Eastern time today. "Effective today, general aviation — that important segment of aviation consisting of privately owned and operated aircraft — will be allowed to resume flights operating under Instrument Flight Rules, or IFR," Secretary Mineta said. "Under IFR, certified pilots operate under direction from air traffic controllers, after filing specific flight plans with the FAA." Temporarily, however, general aviation flights will not be allowed to fly within 25 nautical miles of New York City and Washington, D.C. Those restrictions will be kept in place until further notice as officials continue to assess the recovery situation in those cities over the near term. The Secretary's decision today also permits the FAA to allow private aircraft owners to evacuate their aircraft under visual flight rules from harm's way during the predicted approach of Tropical Storm Gabrielle within the states of Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, and Alabama. Secretary Mineta said he is hopeful that the remaining general aviation flights, those operating under Visual Flight Rules, can resume flying later this weekend. Commercial flights were allowed to resume on Thursday, contingent upon airline and airport compliance with heightened security standards established by the Federal Aviation Administration. "We are restoring the national airspace system in a phased mariner, after careful evaluation of the safety and security issues in each sector," the Secretary said. "Again, I ask the patience of the flying public. Please remember that we are recovering from a massive disruption and widespread shock. But very soon we will work our way back to full recovery." There are more than 200,000 privately owned and operated aircraft registered in the United States. My New Website with 24hr Chat

I'm trully amazed no one has said one thing about this thread? I figured it would get a rise outa at least one or two of you Americans & Other concered people Oh well......... My New Website with 24hr Chat

I'm sure everything will work out Pammi. You can always come down Houston way and add to the mayhem we cause here! We need some "level headed" folks down here.

This editorial, by columnist Leonard Pitts, appeared Wed., Sept. 12, in the Miami Herald. We'll go forward from this moment It's my job to have something to say. They pay me to provide words that help make sense of that which troubles the American soul. But in this moment of airless shock when hot tears sting disbelieving eyes, the only thing I can find to say, the only words that seem to fit, must be addressed to the unknown author of this suffering. You monster. You beast. You unspeakable bastard. What lesson did you hope to teach us by your coward's attack on our World Trade Center, our Pentagon, us? What was it you hoped we would learn? Whatever it was, please know that you failed. Did you want us to respect your cause? You just damned your cause. Did you want to make us fear? You just steeled our resolve. Did you want to tear us apart? You just brought us together. Let me tell you about my people. We are a vast and quarrelsome family, a family rent by racial, social, political and class division, but a family nonetheless. We're frivolous, yes, capable of expending tremendous emotional energy on pop cultural minutiae -- a singer's revealing dress, a ball team's misfortune, a cartoon mouse. We're wealthy, too, spoiled by the ready availability of trinkets and material goods, and maybe because of that, we walk through life with a certain sense of blithe entitlement. We are fundamentally decent, though -- peace-loving and compassionate. We struggle to know the right thing and to do it. And we are, the overwhelming majority of us, people of faith, believers in a just and loving God. Some people -- you, perhaps -- think that any or all of this makes us weak. You're mistaken. We are not weak. Indeed, we are strong in ways that cannot be measured by arsenals. IN PAIN Yes, we're in pain now. We are in mourning and we are in shock. We're still grappling with the unreality of the awful thing you did, still working to make ourselves understand that this isn't a special effect from some Hollywood blockbuster, isn't the plot development from a Tom Clancy novel. Both in terms of the awful scope of their ambition and the probable final death toll, your attacks are likely to go down as the worst acts of terrorism in the history of the United States and, probably, the history of the world. You've bloodied us as we have never been bloodied before. But there's a gulf of difference between making us bloody and making us fall. This is the lesson Japan was taught to its bitter sorrow the last time anyone hit us this hard, the last time anyone brought us such abrupt and monumental pain. When roused, we are righteous in our outrage, terrible in our force. When provoked by this level of barbarism, we will bear any suffering, pay any cost, go to any length, in the pursuit of justice. I tell you this without fear of contradiction. I know my people, as you, I think, do not. What I know reassures me. It also causes me to tremble with dread of the future. In the days to come, there will be recrimination and accusation, fingers pointing to determine whose failure allowed this to happen and what can be done to prevent it from happening again. There will be heightened security, misguided talk of revoking basic freedoms. We'll go forward from this moment sobered, chastened, sad. But determined, too. Unimaginably determined. THE STEEL IN US You see, the steel in us is not always readily apparent. That aspect of our character is seldom understood by people who don't know us well. On this day, the family's bickering is put on hold. As Americans we will weep, as Americans we will mourn, and as Americans, we will rise in defense of all that we cherish. So I ask again: What was it you hoped to teach us? It occurs to me that maybe you just wanted us to know the depths of your hatred. If that's the case, consider the message received. And take this message in exchange: You don't know my people. You don't know what we're capable of. You don't know what you just started. But you're about to learn. My New Website with 24hr Chat

Thursday, September 13, 2001 10:00 a.m. (EST) Contact: Chet Lunner Tel.: (202) 366-4570 DOT 96-01 Statement of U.S. Secretary of Transportation Norman Y. Mineta Secretary of Transportation Norman Y. Mineta has ordered the national airspace system re-opened to commercial and private aviation, effective at 11 a.m. Eastern time Thursday. The Secretary’s decision was made after a series of meetings throughout the day and night Wednesday with White House and Cabinet officials, Federal Aviation Administration Administrator Jane Garvey, aviation industry leaders, as well as intelligence and law enforcement representatives. “The re-opening of our national airspace is good news for travelers, for the airlines and for our economy,” Secretary Mineta said. “But I must caution everyone that a system as diverse and complex as ours cannot be brought back up instantly. We will re-open airports and resume flights on a case-by-case basis, only after they implement our more stringent levels of security. This phased approach will assure the highest levels of safety, which remains our primary goal. “Anyone planning on flying should check with their airline regarding the level of service and flight schedules, and be sure to allow plenty of time to deal with our new security procedures. There will be some inconveniences, but safety will be the first element of our system to be restored,” the Secretary said. On Wednesday, Secretary Mineta had approved a limited re-opening of the system, allowing aircraft diverted during Tuesday’s terrorist attacks to continue to their destinations or be repositioned in anticipation of today’s decision. At the same time, he announced a series of heightened security measures, including a ban on curbside luggage check-in and off-airport passenger check-in. Before being allowed to re-open, airports must clear their terminals of people and conduct thorough searches. Once re-opened, airports will feature an increased presence of law enforcement officers, restricted access beyond the screening area and other restrictions. My New Website with 24hr Chat

I think Websters needs to edit the Definition to strike this line from it. Because rehab is for quiters and I hope none of us are quiters!!!

Well your right it is a REAL word

Not sure all I know is I talked to the DZO/Pilot and they are not grounded. *shrug* My New Website with 24hr Chat

Please see attached file/jpg My New Website with 24hr Chat

Ok I just got of the phone and spoke with the DZO at Skydive Spaceland. They are flying. They are in the air dropping skydivers. I asked him about the FAA ect... He said "welp I have no idea where these people are getting their info?" "The FAA regulation may be different or they are being misled." Remember this is Houston only. They "Spaceland" was given the ok to resume flights this morning. Spaceland is a "Private Airport." Used for Skydiving purposes only. No other planes take-off or land here except the jump planes for Spaceland. I'm thinking that maybe in some parts of the country where the DZ shares the airport with other planes the FAA might not have released them to fly. So as of this morning I know I can go skydiving

I'm waiting to see what your wanting for it? Not that this is the thread. I hope you well in what ever life gives you. Owning a house is alot like having kids. I hope you the best. You can always come flying!! Jump tix average $20 so maybe a jumps or two a month isn't too bad. Good luck Big guy!!
