FAA Outlines Banned Activities in Upcoming Papal TFRs
FAA lists a number of prohibited activities in Philadelphia during the Papal Visit, but highlights the area will be a no-drone zone.

The FAA is beginning to outline its plans for flight restrictions during the U.S. Papal visit by Pope Francis next month. The agency released a flight advisory yesterday, saying it is planning to issue one or more TFRs covering the Pope’s planned visit to Philadelphia on September 26 and 27. Driven by the Department of Homeland Security, the TFRs will be “designed to provide a safe and secure environment for the event but also ensure fair and equitable access to all airspace users to the greatest extent possible,” the FAA said.
