• The US Army is asking for assistance in increasing awareness of the status of Restricted Area R2310 north of Florence Arizona.  
  In addition to the area being used for live fire munitions training, the airspace is increasingly being used for Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) training. The UAVs in this area are not the Predator class type aircraft you may be familiar with but various smaller models used for tactical purposes in remote theatres of operation. As many of you know, the use of UAVs are increasing in the National Airspace System. R2310 is being scheduled much more than it has been historically in order to support this training.
  
  There have been several events recently in which GA aircraft have encroached on the restricted area, particularly near the launch and recovery area. Recently a UAV operating within R2310 came within several hundred feet of a GA aircraft operating within the restricted area when it was NOTAMed active.
  
  In conversation with the Army representative, it was determined that the launch and recovery area is located at the extreme southwest corner of R2310 north of Florence. Though the UAV is cleared to operate out of sight within the entire Restricted Area as NOTAMed, visual confirmation of R2310 incursions by GA aircraft where observed there. It is important to note that there is no buffer on the airspace and the UAV may operate up to its lateral and vertical limits.
  
  See Pdf illustrating the area in question that will assist in dentifying the area and showing the concerns of the military.
  
  
• Sign Up Now to Receive Electronic Notification of Airworthiness Directives
  Starting March 1, 2010, FAA will no longer mail paper copies of Airworthiness Directives to aircraft owners and operators. You can sign up to receive this information electronically. If you have not already done so, go to rgl.faa.gov and sign up to receive electronic copies of Airworthiness Directives (AD) and Special Airworthiness Information Bulletins (SAIB). You can sign up by aircraft type as well as engine and propeller type. "This is an efficient and much faster way for you to receive important safety information" explains Jennifer Fleming, FAA Information Program Manager.
  
  
• NEXTGEN & PHX TRACON - The FAA NEXTGEN program is coming to PHX TRACON. Efforts have begun to install equipment to support ADS-B. Also an ADS-B antenna has been installed at FFZ. PHX TRACON will be in the forefront of installations in the lower 48 states. The district has volunteered for early installation of all advanced equipment. One factor that may facilitate this process and development is the Prescott sector for Northern Arizona as Emery Riddle’s fleet is already equipped for ADS-B. Before we know it, ADS-B will be here.
