Temporary Flight Restrictions
Temporary Flight Restrictions (TFRs) are regulatory actions used by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to monitor aircraft operations within a given area. The restrictions are put in place as a result of the movement of government VIPs, special events, and natural disasters or other unusual events. Certain aspects of a TFR can vary depending on the reason for any given TFR. The variation occurs concerning the scope of the restriction, the location, and area coverage, as well as the applied strictness. A typical TFR will have information such as the region affected, the effective period, altitude affected, and the reason for the TFR. However, some information such as the effective period may change, and it is wise to check for any last-minute change regularly.
The restrictive impact of a TFR can have a massive impact on the general and aviation business. The most common TFRs are the VIPTFRs that are issued based on the location of the president and the vice president. These VIPTFRs are determined and established by the United States Secret service as a security measure to the two senior government officials. The information is disseminated to all concerned persons via a Notice to Airmen (NOTAM). TFRs issued due to presidential movement can be set for former presidents' homes and the current president's residential area.
Special event TFRs are issues to warrant the security of large scale and high profile events. Such events include political events and games such as the Super Bowl. The TFR notices for these events are issued much earlier compared to the VIPTFRs (NBAA). The restrictions protect the zone from attacks from flying objects since the vast number of people pose a plausible target for malicious attacks. After the 9-11 attack, areas with high population density are high-risk areas, and it is wise to exercise caution when public flights are traversing the zone. However, under strict guidelines,...
