Key Takeaways:

  • A Temporary Flight Restriction (TFR) was established around Trump Tower in New York City from election night until Inauguration Day.
  • This TFR initially closed a significant portion of the popular Hudson River VFR corridor for general aviation pilots.
  • The TFR included exceptions for specific operations such as heliport traffic, emergency services, and law enforcement.
  • The FAA later amended the TFR to reopen a portion of the Hudson River Corridor on the western side of the river.
