Correct answer: B. FLIGHT RESTRICTIONS

  • A — incorrect Although the restriction is called a TFR, the NOTAM itself opens with 'FLIGHT RESTRICTIONS', not the full name.
  • B — correct The study guide states that the FDC NOTAM designating a TFR begins with the phrase 'FLIGHT RESTRICTIONS' followed by the location, effective time period, area and altitudes affected.
  • C — incorrect Restricted areas are charted special use airspace and are not designated by a TFR NOTAM; this phrase does not appear in the source.

BACKGROUND

A temporary flight restriction (TFR) is designated by a flight data center (FDC) Notice to Airmen (NOTAM). The NOTAM begins with the phrase 'FLIGHT RESTRICTIONS' followed by the location of the temporary restriction, the effective time period, the area defined in statute miles, and the altitudes affected. It also contains the FAA coordination facility and telephone number, the reason for the restriction, and any other information deemed appropriate. Purposes for a TFR include protecting persons and property from a hazard, providing a safe environment for disaster relief aircraft, and protecting the President, Vice President, or other public figures.

STUDY TIP

Check NOTAMs during flight planning and recognize a TFR by its opening words 'FLIGHT RESTRICTIONS'.

KEY POINTS

  • A TFR is designated by an FDC NOTAM.
