FOR THE DURATION OF THE HAGERSTOWN/THURMONT G8 TFR, ALL AIRCRAFT DEPARTING AIRPORTS LOCATED WITHIN THE LATERAL BOUNDARIES OF THE TFR BETWEEN THE 10 AND 30 MILE RINGS SHALL FILE A IFR/VFR FLIGHT PLAN AND SQUAWK A DISCRETE ATC ASSIGNED BEACON CODE PRIOR TO DEPARTING. AIRCRAFT ARE ALSO REQUIRED TO MAINTAIN TWO-WAY RADIO COMMUNICATIONS WITH ATC.
TO RETRIEVE YOUR BEACON CODE (AND/OR CLEARANCE) CONTACT THE NEAREST FSS OR AIR TRAFFIC FACILITY.
TO OBTAIN THE APPROPRIATE ATC FREQUENCY IN YOUR AREA CONTACT THE NEAREST FSS OR AIR TRAFFIC FACILITY BY TELEPHONE OR REFER TO THE US TERMINAL PROCEDURES PUBLICATIONS OR IFR ENROUTE LOW ALTITUDE CHART COVERING YOUR DEPARTURE AIRPORT.
AIRCRAFT REQUIRING BOTH AN SFRA AND THURMONT TFR FLIGHT PLAN AND BEACON NEED ONLY TO FILE ONE FLIGHT PLAN AND OBTAIN ONE BEACON CODE. IN ALL CASES THE FLIGHT PLAN MUST BE ACTIVATED PRIOR TO ENTERING THE SFRA OR TFR.
AIRCRAFT DEPARTING OR ARRIVING LEESBURG AIRPORT (JYO) MAY
USE THE ESTABLISHED INGRESS/EGRESS PROCEDURE PROVIDED THEY REMAIN COMPLETELY CLEAR OF THE THURMONT TFR. USE EXTREME CAUTION WHEN DEPARTING TOWARDS THE NORTH.
PLAN AHEAD. DO NOT DEPART WITHOUT A BEACON CODE AND AN ATC FREQUENCY.
