How is a temporary flight restriction (TFR) put in place, and what should a remote pilot do about TFRs before each flight?
- AIt is printed on the current sectional chart; check the chart legend.
- BIt is designated by a flight data center (FDC) NOTAM; check NOTAMs before each flight.
- CIt is listed in the Chart Supplement U.S.; checking it once per edition is enough.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: B. It is designated by a flight data center (FDC) NOTAM; check NOTAMs before each flight.
A TFR is designated by a flight data center (FDC) NOTAM. AC 107-2A tells the remote PIC to check for NOTAMs before each flight to determine whether any airspace restrictions apply.
- A. Incorrect. Wrong. A TFR is designated by an FDC NOTAM, not by a chart, so the pilot must check NOTAMs.
- B. Correct. An FDC NOTAM designates a TFR, and the remote PIC must check NOTAMs before each flight.
- C. Incorrect. Wrong. A TFR is designated by an FDC NOTAM, and NOTAMs must be checked before each flight.
