North Jersey and Central Florida are bearing a tremendous burden when the President visits his golf courses. Private aviation and the airports that serve pilots are severely impaired by forced closure. I support legislation extending the ‘Maryland-Three’ rules to airports under a recurring Presidential TFR. Allow law-abiding/screened pilots access to their airplanes and airports using rules and program that already exists and has proven safe and effective. That program has allowed the three DC area airports to continue operating and providing public air transportation. Modern communications will allow future Presidents to spend more time away from DC, other regions will be affected; this is a solution for all of General Aviation. I support General Aviation!

I am honestly stunned to see so many people connecting with this issue. If you know anyone else who values general aviation, please reach out to them today so we can finally break through this hundred signature mark.

I was a Flight Instructor at Solberg airport, if I were instructing there now, I would have been essentially unable to retain employment due to TFR restrictions. Additionally, General Aviation was not a threat before, on, or after 9/11 yet we are the ones who are punished.

I support this idea. I think it is doable. Perhaps an app with a 2-factor identification using a code known only to the vetted pilot and a response carrying an ad-hoc generate squawk code could add to the security of this operation and even expedited departures.

I was with the FAA and involved in the DC area pilot verification plan and it worked well. Do the same for the NJ and FL airports and stop wasting the operators time and money. Get the job done and quickly!! ATP, CFI, CFII, MEI and retired FAA supervisor and examiner.

As a commercial operator based at KLNA, I can categorically say this is killing business`s at the airport. Losing multiple weekends of flying is forcing many to re-consider using Palm Beach County as a base of operations.

There needs to be relief. This is not a partisan issue. It effects all civil aviation around the presidential location and costs millions in lost revenue for FBOs, flight training operations, civilian business flights , recurrent training and recreational flying.

It is senseless that law-abiding citizens and businesses should suffer due to the President's recreational habits. Maryland has already solved this problem. Please extend the same policies to Northern NJ and Central Florida during the Presidential flight restrictions.

This is a very valid, non-political request that all politicians should embrace,

The TFR System is far too restrictive.
