Security Notams and TFRs locator

For the most up-to-date TFR information, follow this link to the AOPA TFR Map.

Presidential/VIP movement TFRs

Please note that due to heightened security measures, AOPA is no longer able to post advance notice of Presidential/VIP movement TFRs until the information is released by the FAA.

Notice to all pilots: Presidential/VIP movement TFRs can be issued with little advance notice. The TFR Map is the most timely and accurate information AOPA can offer. It is not a substitute for a thorough preflight briefing. Its intent is to offer pilots a quick and effective means to assess temporary airspace restrictions prior to obtaining an official briefing.  Pilots must check with flight service for ALL applicable notams immediately prior to flight. The TFR Map includes Presidential/VIP movement notams and other temporary flight restrictions, typically due to events, aerial demonstrations, and fire fighting/disaster/recovery operations. "Blanket" TFR notams do not supersede any other TFR notams. Some TFRs can be very complex in shape, movement, and duration. Please study the TFR Map and all accompanying official text to understand the impact of restricted airspace on your flight plans.

Attention pilots: TFR notams are of utmost importance to each and every operation.  Pilots must familiarize themselves with all notams before flight. Due to rapidly changing conditions, you should obtain notam information from flight service and/or DUATS just prior to flight. There are many temporary flight restrictions (TFRs) throughout the country. In addition, you will see there are "blanket" TFR notams. These do not supersede any other TFR notams.

AOPA has compiled plain-language guidance and a list of airports affetected by NOTAM #9/4399:

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) classifies the airspace defined in this notam and in 14 CFR part 93.339 as “National Defense Airspace.”

This notice along with 14 CFR part 93 and a separate notam for the Leesburg Maneuvering Area replace all previous DC SFRA notams due to the final rulemaking establishing 14 CFR part 93.

A. This notice supplements 14 CFR Part 93 with additional instructions and resources.
B. Addition to Definitions 14 CFR section 93.335.

  1. DC Flight Restricted Zone (DC FRZ) Flight Plan will fulfill the requirement for a DC SFRA Flight Plan.
  2. A DC SFRA Flight Plan will not fulfill the requirements for VFR operations in the DC FRZ.  A DC FRZ Flight Plan is required for VFR Operations in the DC FRZ.

C. Additions to operating in the DC Special Flight Rules Area (DC SFRA) 14 CFR section 93.339.

  1. Except FAA approved DOD, FAA approved law enforcement and waivered lifeguard/air ambulance operations flights, all VFR aircraft operations within the DC SFRA/FRZ are restricted to an indicated airspeed of 180 knots or less, if capable.  If unable, the pilot must contact the appropriate ATC facility and advise them of the aircraft’s operational limitations.
  2. Operations in the traffic pattern in the paragraph section 93.339 (D) are limited to practice VFR flight operations within the traffic pattern.
  3. Any person operating an aircraft under VFR within the DC SFR/FRZ who becomes aware of an inability to comply with the requirement to maintain radio contact with AEC shall immediately change the transponder code to 7600 and exit the DC SFRA/FRZ by the most direct lateral route or if the aircraft departure point is closer, return to the departure point by the most direct route.  These procedures do not authorize penetration of restricted or prohibited airspace.
  4. Any person operating an aircraft under IFR within the DC SFRA/FRZ who becomes aware of an inability to comply with the requirement to maintain radio contact with ATC shall continue the flight via the two-way radio communications failure procedures found in the FAA aeronautical information manual.  These procedures do not authorize penetration of restricted or prohibited airspace.

D.  Additions to Operating in the DC FRZ 14 CFR section 93.339.

  1. Part 121, 129, and 135 Air Carrier flights with TSA approved full aircraft operator standard security program/procedures and specific authorization from the department of transportation may land and depart Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA).
