## Narrative

As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

ON JULY 21, 2019 AT APPROXIMATELY 0935 LOCAL TIME, ^MR. ROBERT BENBROOK^ WAS THE PILOT IN COMMAND OF N1943M (CE-210) WHILE OPERATING AT THE BLAIRSTOWN, NJ AIRPORT (1N7) IN VFR CONDITIONS.

^MR. BENBROOK^ HAD INTENDED TO FLY N1943M ON A VFR FLIGHT FROM 1N7-BROADWAY VOR-HUGENOT VOR-MPO AND RETURN TO 1N7. ^MR. BENBROOK^ FAILED TO OBTAIN A WEATHER BRIEFING FOR THIS FLIGHT. AT THE TIME THAT ^MR. BENBROOK^ HAD INTENDED TO DEPART 1N7, FDC NOTAM 9/3135 FOR A PRESIDENTIAL TEMPORARY FLIGHT RESTRICTION (TFR) WAS IN EFFECT IMPACTING THE BLAIRSTOWN, NJ AREA AND THE PROPOSED ROUTE OF FLIGHT DESCRIBED ABOVE.

^MR. BENBROOK^ DEPARTED RUNWAY 25 (ACTIVE RUNWAY) AT 1N7 AND AFTER PASSING AN ALTITUDE OF APPROXIMATELY 1800' MSL, AN INDIVIDUAL ANNOUNCED OVER UNICOM TO THE DEPARTING AIRCRAFT (N1943M) THAT THE PRESIDENTIAL TFR WAS IN EFFECT. ^MR. BENBROOK^ THEN REALIZED THAT HE HAD INADVERTENTLY ENTERED THE TFR WITHOUT AUTHORIZATION AND STARTED AN IMMEDIATE DESCENT AND A STEEP TURN SO AS TO RETURN TO THE AIRPORT. ^MR. BENBROOK^ STATED THAT THE STEEP BANK/DESCENT POSITIONED THE AIRCRAFT SO AS TO RETURN ON RUNWAY 7 (WITH AN 8 KNOT TAILWIND). ONCE ^MR. BENBROOK^ ALIGNED THE AIRCRAFT WITH RUNWAY 7, THE PROXIMITY OF THE AIRCRAFT IN RELATION TO THE RUNWAY WAS VERY CLOSE. THE END RESULT WAS THAT ^MR.
