Restricted Area Over Florida's Walt Disney World Also Updated

The FAA will establish TFRs over all major sporting events, according to a NOTAM published Monday.

The NOTAM states that all aircraft operations; including parachute jumping, unmanned aircraft and remote controlled aircraft, are prohibited within a 3 nm radius up to and including 3000 ft AGL of any stadium having a seating capacity of 30,000 or more people where either a regular or post season major league baseball, national football league, or NCAA division one football game is occurring.

Pursuant to 14 CFR Section 99.7, special security instructions, the restrictions will go into effect one hour before the scheduled time of the event until one hour after the end of the event.

This NOTAM also applies to NASCAR, Sprint Cup, Indy Car, and Champ series races, excluding qualifying and pre-race events. Flights conducted for operational purposes of any event, stadium or venue and broadcast coverage for the broadcast rights holder are authorized with an approved airspace waiver. An faa airspace waiver does not relieve operators from obtaining all other necessary authorizations and complying with all applicable federal aviation regulations.

The restrictions described above do not apply to those aircraft authorized by and in contact with ATC for operational or safety of flight purposes, department of defense, law enforcement, and air ambulance flight operations. All previously issued waivers to FDC NOTAM 9/5151 remain valid until the specified end date but not to exceed 90 days following the effective date of this NOTAM.

The FAA issued a second NOTAM Monday that updates the ongoing flight restrictions over Walt Disney World in Florida.

That NOTAM indicates that all aircraft flight operations, including unmanned and remote controlled aircraft, are prohibited within a 3 nm radius of 282445n/0813420w or the ORL238014.8 up to and including 3000 ft agl.
