What does TFR stand for?

TFR stands for Temporary Flight Restriction. This term is used in aviation to describe specific areas where flight operations are restricted or prohibited for a designated period of time. TFRs are often implemented for reasons such as national security, large public events, or emergency situations, ensuring safety for the public and aircraft operations. Pilots must check for TFRs before flight, as violation of these restrictions can lead to serious consequences, including fines or enforcement actions. Understanding TFRs is crucial for pilots to navigate safely and adhere to regulatory requirements.
