Follows AOPA Recommendation For National Security Areas
The FAA has denied Department of Defense requests to turn 11
temporary flight restriction areas (TFRs) into prohibited airspace,
the agency informed AOPA yesterday afternoon. Instead, the FAA will
follow AOPA's recommendation and convert the existing TFRs over the
11 military installations into national security areas (NSAs), a
less restrictive classification that still preserves the
government's ability to protect the airspace when needed for
national security.
