What defines a Temporary Flight Restriction (TFR)?

• A. A NOTAMed restriction with ATC clearance required, placed over airspace
• B. A weather advisory for thunderstorms
• C. An area where military training occurs
• D. An area with no restrictions

Answer: (A)

A Temporary Flight Restriction is a NOTAMed restriction placed over a defined area and time, with ATC clearance required to operate within it. The purpose is safety or security, such as presidential movements, wildland fires, space launches, or major events. It is not a weather advisory, not simply a military training area, and not something with no restrictions. To fly in or through a TFR, you must check NOTAMs and obtain clearance from ATC before entering the restricted airspace.
