So let's see what we have: when I busted a TFR (didn't get a standard briefing that day for a local flight), they explicitly denied my attempt to use the NASA filing I had done. I forget now their exact language (it was over the phone) but their reasoning was something to the effect that since I hadn't got a briefing, the FAR violation was deliberate, thus the NASA form didn't work.
Pretzel logic! Yet several sources say the FAA will accept them for a TFR bust. They may, then again they may not. The FAA reserves the right to be inconsistent on days ending in "Y". Result: FAA left hand doesn't know what FAA right hand is doing. Are we surprised by the inconsistency? Not me. Ralph, sounds like you've broken the code. Interesting though, I thought this was all enforced by the DHS. Being located kind of near the current president's "ranch" we're pretty careful around here. Only 1 year 2 months left on this heartache, but gang, regardless of what you think about it, make every effort not to wander into the area. You'll get a slap on the wrist, we all get a slap in the face while we're not looking. Who said I wasn't really back?

I called AOPA legal counsel and discussed this. He said there are several cases in which NASA form was used after a TFR bust and FAA has honored the NASA form. .
