For those who consider the latest Super Bowl TFR an over reach that's how they've been for a LONG time... well before our toy aircraft came on the picture. They've been 10/30 and this isn't something new that just came out this year. It's not unusual for Special Event TFR's to be 10/30 like this.
Not all TFRs are the same but it's not uncommon to see 10/30 TFR put into place. This is why it's critical to know your stuff and know where to find the FACTS!!
Last year's (2019) TFR in Georgia:
The FAA will publish a Temporary Flight Restriction (TFR) for Super Bowl LIII centered on Mercedes-Benz Stadium. At this time, we expect the TFR will be active from 4 p.m. EST (2100z) until 11:59 p.m. EST (0459z) on Sunday, February 3. The TFR will have a 10-nautical- mile inner core and a 30-nautical-mile outer ring.
2018 TFR in Texas:
All aircraft flight operations in the 10-nm to 30-nm outer ring from the surface up to, but not including, 18,000 feet msl will be prohibited with the following exceptions, complying with the prescribed procedures: “Aircraft arriving or departing local. Aircraft may not loiter. All aircraft entering or exiting the TFR must be on an active IFR or VFR flight plan and must be assigned a discrete beacon code by an Air Traffic Control (ATC) facility and be squawking that code prior to departing within or entering the TFR.” Also, “All aircraft entering or exiting the TFR must remain in two-way radio communication with ATC and on assigned discrete beacon code.”
I'm coming back to Washington DC once the flu subsides, safe travel; the NFZ from White House is >50 nm these days.
