The North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) recently noted an increase in airspace violations near President Trump's Florida residence, particularly with over 20 incidents since his inauguration. On Sunday, F-16 jets intercepted a civilian aircraft flying in restricted airspace using flares to attract the pilot's attention. According to officials, while such violations are routine, the frequency has raised concerns regarding compliance with federal regulations requiring pilots to check airspace restrictions. Moreover, the violations have not disrupted the president's schedule or security, emphasizing the need for adherence to Temporary Flight Restrictions (TFR).
"Adherence to TFR procedures is essential to ensure flight safety, national security, and the security of the President. The procedures are not optional."
"The excessive number of recent TFR violations indicates many civil aviators are not reading Notice to Airmen, or NOTAMS, before each flight as required by the FAA."
