It's Time For The FAA To Express More Paranoia Over Drones
As expected (and has been the habit) Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas is a ‘No Drone Zone’ for Super Bowl LVIII.
Drones also are prohibited around several additional locations during the days leading up to the event. Pilots were previously warned to anticipate a Temporary Flight Restriction (TFR) in the Las Vegas area on Sunday, February 11, 2024. Typical TFRs limit the availability of certain operations, including glider operations, flight training, and unmanned aerial system (UAS) operations. Specific procedures described on this website and/or contained in an associated Notices To Air Missions (NOTAMs) may be revised or unavailable at the time of the event, and access to some airports may be restricted. Pilots are encouraged to check NOTAMs frequently to confirm they have the most current information.
Drones will be restricted during the following times and days:
Game Day, Sunday, Feb. 11
Restrictions begin at 11 a.m. PST within two nautical miles around the stadium up to 2,000 feet in altitude. The restrictions expand between 2:30 until 8:30 p.m. PST to a 30-nautical-mile radius and up to 18,000 feet in altitude.
Before Game Day, Feb. 5-9
- Restrictions around Allegiant Stadium on Feb.5, for one nautical mile up to an altitude of 1,000 feet from between 3 p.m. and 8 p.m.
- Restrictions around Resorts World on Feb. 8, for one nautical mile up to an altitude of 1,000 feet from between 2 p.m. and 10 p.m.
- Restrictions around Allegiant Stadium on Feb.9, for one nautical mile up to an altitude of 1,000 feet from between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m.
- Restrictions around Wynn Casino on Feb. 9, for one nautical mile up to an altitude of 1,000 feet from between 5 p.m. and 11:30 p.m.
Additional details are available in the Super Bowl LVIII Flight Advisory. Drone operators who enter the TFRs without permission could face drone confiscation, fines that exceed $30,000 and potential criminal prosecution. Detailed information for general aviation and drone pilots is available on the FAA’s Super Bowl LVIII webpage.
