Expect Temporary Flight Restrictions (TFRs) and heightened security measures during Major League Baseball All-Star activities in St. Louis. Representatives from the FAA and TSA will be present to conduct security enhancement activities at all area airports during this big event.
Only pilots, airport and FBO employees, and those individuals under their escort will be allowed in the aircraft parking areas.
Security teams will be present in both FBOs to conduct pilot license verifications and reinforce awareness of the TFR & NOTAMS. The primary purpose is to ensure pilots are aware of the TFRs and know how to avoid them.
All TSA personnel will be easily identified by their uniform and identification badge. FAA and other personnel wearing civilian clothing will prominently display their official identification.
Pilots flying on game day are encouraged to check in with one of the security teams located at either FBO. Pilots should present their license and photo ID for inspection when requested. Arriving pilots should check in immediately on arrival to pre-clear security and expedite their departure.
Pilots
are reminded of the following FAR Part 61.3 requirement:
“(l)
Inspection of certificate. Each person who holds an airman certificate,
medical certificate, authorization, or license required by this part
must present it and their photo identification….for inspection
upon a request from: (1) The Administrator; (2) An authorized representative
of the National Transportation Safety Board; (3) Any Federal, State,
or local law enforcement officer; or (4) An authorized representative
of the Transportation Security Administration.”
Check NOTAMS for last minute TFR changes.
