The FAA has issued flight advisories detailing temporary flight restrictions (TFRs) in the vicinities of New York, Philadelphia and Washington D.C., to enable Pope Francis’ scheduled visits to each region.

From September 22-27, all three cities will be “no drone zones,” and additional flight restrictions will apply to each throughout the papal visit. The FAA advises that future notams will further outline TFRs as the Pope visits each region.
