This will give you the starting and ending times for HP flights.

TRA/NAR vs ATF update

Everyone:
There was a hearing this week to see if the ATF is complying with the courts to get their testing done to prove that APCP should reside on the explosive list. They did comply and have had the Air Force Labs conduct these test. Unfortunately it will take them time to compile the results so that means another delay. A new hearing is scheduled for Oct. So, until then we are still under the same restrictions, nothing has changed. Check out the TRA and NAR sites for the Joint Statement.
Note, Bob Schoner (Former ROCC prefect) was at the hearing representing TRA. You the man Bob!
Thanks,
Ralph Roberts
ROCC President and Prefect.
