Restrictions Begin January 31 Around Mercedes-Benz Stadium In Atlanta
The FAA will establish airspace restrictions affecting UAS operations January 31 to February 3, 2019 centered on Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, GA due to pre-Super Bowl and Super Bowl activity.
NOTAMs will be issued depicting a Temporary Flight Restriction (TFR) implemented as follows:
All UAS aircraft flight operations are prohibited during the following times:
- January 31, 2019 1000 to 2359 local
- February 1, 2019 1000 to 2359 local
- February 2, 2019 1000 to 2359 local
- February 3, 2019 1000 to 2359 local
UAS operators who do not comply with applicable airspace restrictions are warned that pursuant to 18 U.S.C. section 3056a, 10 U.S.C. section 130i, and 6 U.S.C. section 121 (as amended), the department of homeland security (DHS), united states secret service (USSS), and the department of defense (DOD) may take security action that results in the interference, disruption, seizure, damaging, or destruction of unmanned aircraft deemed to pose a credible safety or security threat to protected personnel, facilities, or assets.
UAS operations are authorized within the defined SSI airspace if in compliance with the requirements listed below:
- The UAS flight operation has been pre-approved by the FAA System Operations Support Center (SOSC) at 202-267-8276 based on criteria established by the sponsoring federal agency in coordination with the FAA; or
- If the UAS flight operation is conducted in direct support of an active national defense, homeland security, law enforcement, firefighting, search and rescue, or disaster response mission, and prior notification has been provided to the designated facility contact; or
- If the UAS flight operation is conducted in direct support of a significant and urgent governmental interest and is approved by the FAA SOSC in advance of entering the defined SSI airspace; and
- The UAS flight operation complies with all other applicable federal aviation regulations.
The FAA recommends that all aircraft operators check NOTAMs OFTEN for mandatory airspace restrictions prior to operations within this region.
