FAA Issues No-Fly Zone Over Ferguson

Post by Flocker »

This post is not meant to start a debate on the ruling, just to discuss the impact it had on aviation. "Reports of gunfire prompted the FAA to create a no-fly zone."

Here's the TFR:

"TEMPORARY FLIGHT RESTRICTIONS. WITHIN AN AREA DEFINED AS 3 NM RADIUS OF 384428N0901812W (ST LOUIS VORTAC STL129011.0) SFC-3000FT TO PROVIDE A SAFE ENVIRONMENT FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT ACTIVITIES. PURSUANT TO 14 CFR SECTION 91.137(A)(1) TEMPORARY FLIGHT RESTRICTIONS (TFR) ARE IN EFFECT. ONLY AIRCRAFT PERMITTED UNDER THE PROVISIONS OF 14 CFR 91.137(B) ARE ALLOWED TO OPERATE IN THIS 91.137(A)(1) TFR."

Here's an image from Plane Finder after the TFR went into effect:

Was anyone on here affected by this?

Because news helos aren't going to swarm all over Chicago causing a hazard. Remember back in the day when that was the primary reason for VIP TFRs?

It's just part of the repertoire.

What a package.
