Key Takeaways:

  • A Temporary Flight Restriction (TFR) was established around Trump Tower in New York City following Donald Trump's election, set to last until the day after Inauguration Day.
  • This TFR initially closed the popular Hudson River VFR corridor, significantly impacting general aviation pilots, though specific operations like heliports and emergency services are exempt.
  • The FAA has since amended this TFR to reopen a portion of the Hudson River Corridor on the western side of the river.
