A Temporary Flight Restriction (TFR) is issued for which scenario?

• A. Presidential visits or major sporting events
• B. Commercial air shows only
• C. When weather is bad
• D. For drone hobbyists to practice

Answer: (A)

Temporary Flight Restrictions are put in place to protect safety and security in the airspace during events or movements that require extra airspace control. They’re commonly issued for high-profile occurrences like presidential visits or major sporting events, when large gatherings and security operations need to be shielded from other aircraft. That’s why the best choice is the scenario involving a presidential visit or a major sporting event—the airspace is restricted to authorized flights during that time. The other options don’t fit because weather alone doesn’t create a TFR, a commercial air show isn’t the only situation that can trigger one, and TFRs aren’t issued to restrict drone hobbyists merely to practice flights; they’re tied to significant safety or security needs. Always check NOTAMs for current TFRs before flying.
