Hey Guys: Don't forget the NASA form. If you file the NASA form within 10
days of your incursion (I do not know if this still applies after the F-16
deal) and admit that you screwed up for whatever reason, they cannot penalize
you. The NASA form, I've forgotten the number, was set up to report safety
items, and to assist in getting the reports, they gave everyone 10 days from
the
occurrence to make a report without any penalty. So if you should
inadvertently or otherwise enter a TFR, report it to NASA and make sure to
keep a copy
for your self. Then when the investigators come calling, you can show them or
tell them about the report you made, and if it was within the 10 day period
you are home free. (don't ask how I came to know all this)
I agree you should get a pre-flight briefing prior to each flight.
However, you may not always get the correct information (weather,
hazards,TFR's
etc.) and should have a possible plan just in case.
I hope you never need this information. Fly safe, and may all you days
be CAVU (clear and visibility unrestricted).
