U.S. Capitol

With the presidential State of the Union Address scheduled for March 7, the FAA—at the behest of the Department of Homeland Security—will amend the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area Special Flight Rules Area (DC SFRA) and Flight Restricted Zone (DC FRZ) airspace for the event.

While a notam will be published no later than March 1, the agency has already said Part 135 and Part 91 aircraft on an active IFR flight plan will be authorized to arrive and/or depart Dulles International (KIAD), Baltimore Washington International (KBWI), and Manassas Regional (KHEF) airports only.
