Various Restrictions In Place Over A 12-Day Period

The FAA has published its initial NOTAM imposing flight restrictions in New York City for the 68th UN General Assembly September 18-30. Multiple Notices to Airmen (NOTAM) will be published to cover the events taking place during the 12 day session.

According to the initial NOTAM, aircraft flight operations are prohibited within a 2NMR of 404459N/0735804W or the JFK VOR/DME 320 degree radial at 11.4NM up to but not including 7,000 FT MSL, daily 1200-2100 UTC (0800-1700 local) effective 1309181200 UTC until 1309302100 UTC, except as specified by the NOTAM and/or unless authorized by ATC in consultation with the Air Traffic Security Coordinator (ATSC) via the Domestic Events Network (DEN).

A second NOTAM will be in effect from September 23 through September 24, 2013. The FAA says pilots should check the NOTAM for exact times. That TRF will encompass a 7NMR (inner core) of 404501N/0735938W or the LGA 259 degree radial at 5.8NM up to but not including 18,000 FT MSL excluding a 2NMR of 405055N/0740344W or the TEB VOR/DME up to and including 2,000 FT MSL.

Within the lateral limits of the New York Class B Airspace (outer area) from the surface up to but not including 18,000 FT MSL excluding a 3NMR of
404400N/0732330W or the DPK 241 degree radial at 5.3NM from the surface up to and including 2,000 FL MSL excluding a 3NMR of 410500N/0734125W or the CMK 215 degree radial at 12.8NM from the surface up to and including 2,000 FT MSL.

All aircraft operations are prohibited within the lateral confines of the New York Class B airspace, from the surface, up to but not including 18,000 FT MSL excluding a 3NMR around Farmingdale Republic, NY (FRG) and Westchester County, NY (HPN) airports below 2,000 FT MSL, for arrivals and departures to FRG and HPN airports only except as outlined in the NOTAM.

Pilots should check NOTAMS frequently during this period, as the restrictions could change with little notice.
