Temporary flight restrictions may be imposed at the discretion of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA Regulation 91.137) in response to the request of state or local authorities. Flight restrictions will allow authorized aircraft such as fire, law enforcement, emergency medical and the news media to operate in the area under controlled conditions. Unauthorized aircraft will be prohibited from entering the area. The reason for this control over airspace is to prevent mid-air collisions as a result of overcrowded conditions.
Stations or Units requiring an airspace flight restriction for a planned event shall contact AERO Bureau a minimum of two days prior to the event and provide them with specific information as indicated in EOP 2-2.
