NBAA: Solar Eclipse Could Affect Some Bizav Ops
NBAA uggests that pilots check Notams for possible TFRs and other events that could affect planned flights around August 21.

"Intense" demand is expected for airport services in states where the August 21 solar eclipse can be viewed completely. That could affect some business aircraft flights, according to NBAA director of air traffic services and infrastructure Heidi Williams. As the moon moves in front of the sun, a “path of totality” will develop in portions of Oregon, Idaho, Wyoming, Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri, Illinois, Kentucky, Tennessee, Georgia and South Carolina. Operators should expect delays to ground support, parking and possibly even approach sequencing to airports within these areas, she said.
