14 CFR Ch. I (1–1–24 Edition)

§ 91.141

control system and during which nor-
mal flight operations under this chap-
ter cannot be conducted consistent
with the required levels of safety and
efficiency—

(1) The Administrator issues an im-

mediately effective air traffic rule or
regulation in response to that emer-
gency condition; and

(2) The Administrator or the Asso-

ciate Administrator for Air Traffic
may utilize the NOTAM system to pro-
vide notification of the issuance of the
rule or regulation.

Those NOTAMs communicate informa-
tion concerning the rules and regula-
tions that govern flight operations, the
use of navigation facilities, and des-
ignation of that airspace in which the
rules and regulations apply.

under this section, no person may oper-
ate an aircraft, or other device gov-
erned by the regulation concerned,
within the designated airspace except
in accordance with the authorizations,
terms, and conditions prescribed in the
regulation covered by the NOTAM.

§ 91.141

Flight restrictions in the prox-

imity of the Presidential and other
parties.

No person may operate an aircraft

over or in the vicinity of any area to be
visited or traveled by the President,
the Vice President, or other public fig-
ures contrary to the restrictions estab-
lished by the Administrator and pub-
lished in a Notice to Airmen (NOTAM).

§ 91.143

Flight limitation in the prox-

imity of space flight operations.

When a Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) is

issued in accordance with this section,
no person may operate any aircraft of
U.S. registry, or pilot any aircraft
under the authority of an airman cer-
tificate issued by the Federal Aviation
Administration, within areas des-
ignated in a NOTAM for space flight
operation except when authorized by
ATC.

§ 91.144

Temporary restriction on

flight operations during abnormally
high barometric pressure condi-
tions.

(a)

Special flight restrictions. When any

information indicates that barometric
pressure on the route of flight cur-
rently exceeds or will exceed 31 inches
of mercury, no person may operate an
aircraft or initiate a flight contrary to
the requirements established by the
Administrator and published in a No-
tice to Airmen issued under this sec-
tion.

(b)

Waivers. The Administrator is au-

thorized to waive any restriction
issued under paragraph (a) of this sec-
tion to permit emergency supply,
transport, or medical services to be de-
livered to isolated communities, where
the operation can be conducted with an
acceptable level of safety.

§ 91.145

Management of aircraft oper-

ations in the vicinity of aerial dem-
onstrations and major sporting
events.

(a) The FAA will issue a Notice to

Airmen (NOTAM) designating an area
of airspace in which a temporary flight
restriction applies when it determines
that a temporary flight restriction is
necessary to protect persons or prop-
erty on the surface or in the air, to
maintain air safety and efficiency, or
to prevent the unsafe congestion of air-
craft in the vicinity of an aerial dem-
onstration or major sporting event.
These demonstrations and events may
include:

(1) United States Naval Flight Dem-

onstration Team (Blue Angels);

(2) United States Air Force Air Dem-

onstration Squadron (Thunderbirds);

(3) United States Army Parachute

Team (Golden Knights);

(4) Summer/Winter Olympic Games;
(5) Annual Tournament of Roses

Football Game;

(6) World Cup Soccer;
(7) Major League Baseball All-Star

Game;

(8) World Series;
(9) Kodak Albuquerque International

Balloon Fiesta;

(10) Sandia Classic Hang Gliding

Competition;

§ 91.146

(11) Indianapolis 500 Mile Race;
(12) Any other aerial demonstration

or sporting event the FAA determines
to need a temporary flight restriction
in accordance with paragraph (b) of
this section.

(b) In deciding whether a temporary

flight restriction is necessary for an
aerial demonstration or major sporting
event not listed in paragraph (a) of this
section, the FAA considers the fol-
lowing factors:

(1) Area where the event will be held.
(2) Effect flight restrictions will have

on known aircraft operations.

(3) Any existing ATC airspace traffic

management restrictions.

(4) Estimated duration of the event.
(5) Degree of public interest.
(6) Number of spectators.
(7) Provisions for spectator safety.
(8) Number and types of participating

aircraft.

(9) Use of mixed high and low per-

formance aircraft.

(10) Impact on non-participating air-

craft.

(11) Weather minimums.
(12) Emergency procedures that will

be in effect.

tion will state the name of the aerial
demonstration or sporting event and
specify the effective dates and times,
the geographic features or coordinates,
and any other restrictions or proce-
dures governing flight operations in
the designated airspace.

(d) When a NOTAM has been issued in

accordance with this section, no person
may operate an aircraft or device, or
engage in any activity within the des-
ignated airspace area, except in accord-
ance with the authorizations, terms,
and conditions of the temporary flight
restriction published in the NOTAM,
unless otherwise authorized by:

(1) Air traffic control; or
(2) A Flight Standards Certificate of

Waiver or Authorization issued for the
demonstration or event.

(e) For the purpose of this section:
(1)

Flight restricted airspace area for an

aerial demonstration—The amount of
airspace needed to protect persons and
property on the surface or in the air, to
maintain air safety and efficiency, or
to prevent the unsafe congestion of air-
craft will vary depending on the aerial

demonstration and the factors listed in
paragraph (b) of this section. The re-
stricted airspace area will normally be
limited to a 5 nautical mile radius
from the center of the demonstration
and an altitude 17000 mean sea level
(for high performance aircraft) or 13000
feet above the surface (for certain
parachute operations), but will be no
greater than the minimum airspace
necessary for the management of air-
craft operations in the vicinity of the
specified area.

(2)

Flight restricted area for a major

sporting event—The amount of airspace
needed to protect persons and property
on the surface or in the air, to main-
tain air safety and efficiency, or to pre-
vent the unsafe congestion of aircraft
will vary depending on the size of the
event and the factors listed in para-
graph (b) of this section. The restricted
airspace will normally be limited to a
3 nautical mile radius from the center
of the event and 2500 feet above the
surface but will not be greater than the
minimum airspace necessary for the
management of aircraft operations in
the vicinity of the specified area.

(f) A NOTAM issued under this sec-

tion will be issued at least 30 days in
advance of an aerial demonstration or
a major sporting event, unless the FAA
finds good cause for a shorter period
and explains this in the NOTAM.

(g) When warranted, the FAA Admin-

istrator may exclude the following
flights from the provisions of this sec-
tion:

(1) Essential military.
(2) Medical and rescue.
(3) Presidential and Vice Presi-

dential.

(4) Visiting heads of state.
(5) Law enforcement and security.
(6) Public health and welfare.
