With the U.S. presidential inauguration looming, TFR activity is expected to increase in Florida’s Palm Beach area for the foreseeable future, starting on January 20. The FAA has issued a presentation to refresh local stakeholders on the required procedures.

The agency noted that the implementation of presidential TFRs in Palm Beach, near President-elect Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago residence, will be unpredictable in frequency and duration, and operators heading to and from the area should check notams before their flights because the VIP TFRs can shift location and time without warning.
