Know before you go.
That just sounds like a good idea, doesn't it?
TFRCheck.com provides a quick and easy to use website to check TFRs along a route. Just put in your airport codes below and we'll give you some information on which TFRs might affect your flight. Checking TFRs this way is free, it's quick, and it's better than reading all the TFRs and trying to figure out which ones apply. Let us do the figuring out, and you go do the flying!
NEW! Would you like to see some weather information too?
TFRCheck benefits from mapping developments over on Adventure Pilot, so now you can use TFRCheck to get a quick overview of current weather conditions? How? Just use the map "Type" just below the bottom right corner of the map. That dropdown allows you to choose between flat, terrain (the default) and now METARs. Drop that down, switch to METARs and your map will now have a visual guide to VFR/MVFR/IFR/LIFR conditions worldwide.
Also, notice the information window that floats above the map now? When your mouse is over a METAR flight conditions circle, or over an airport, that window will display information about those items. It's a quick way to get airport information and current weather. You can also click and drag that window to another place on the page so it doesn't cover the map.
Enjoy, and feedback is welcome at bill.strahan@adventurepilot.com
!!! Important note !!! I We receive our TFR information from a public data feed. Then we do our best to interpret what has been placed in that database. We've seen a few cases where the text description doesn't match the parsed description. We're mapping it and using some complex algorithms to determine if a great circle route between two points has any segment that intersects or comes close to that TFR. There are multiple points for failure all along the chain, starting from the person creating the TFR, all the way down to your browser when displaying it. We think our accuracy is EXTREMELY high, and have seen cases where our data was plotted correctly while the official FAA site wasn't. We're confident that we're getting you the best data possible, but this is just a useful tool and you are the pilot in command.
Bottom line? If we make you aware of a TFR then that's a good thing. But this website isn't the final authority on active TFRs. Use every resource available to you, and get a briefing every time. File IFR or use flight following. Call FSS just before startup. We don't recommend going so far as live animal sacrifices, but do what you need to do to stay out of those pesky TFRs!
