  • These drone TFRs, effective February 26, allow only a few exceptions that require coordination and violators may face civil penalties and criminal charges.
  • Drone operators can find detailed information on these restrictions, including an interactive map of covered locations, via the UAS Data Display System and the FAA’s B4UFLY mobile app.
