Border and thence along the border to
the point of origin.
(b) No flight is authorized below 3,500
feet MSL in the area described in para-
graph (a) of this section, except for air-
craft operations conducted directly to
or from an airport/heliport within the
area, aircraft operating on an ATC-ap-
proved IFR flight plan, aircraft oper-
ating the Scenic Falls Route pursuant
to approval of Transport Canada, air-
craft carrying law enforcement offi-
cials, or aircraft carrying properly ac-
credited news representatives for which
a flight plan has been filed with Buffalo
NY (BUF) Automated Flight Service
Station (AFSS).
(c) Check with Transport Canada for
flight restrictions in Canadian air-
space. Commercial air tour operations
approved by Transport Canada will be
conducting a north/south orbit of the
Niagara Falls area below 3,500 feet
MSL over the Niagara River.
(d) The minimum altitude for VFR
flight over the Scenic Falls area is 3,500
feet MSL.
(e) Comply with the following proce-
dures when conducting flight over the
area described in paragraph (a) of this
section:
(1) Fly a clockwise pattern;
(2) Do not proceed north of the Rain-
bow Bridge;
(3) Prior to joining the pattern,
broadcast flight intentions on fre-
quency 122.05 Mhz, giving altitude and
position, and monitor the frequency
while in the pattern;
(4) Use the Niagara Falls airport al-
timeter setting. Contact Niagara Falls
Airport Traffic Control Tower to ob-
tain the current altimeter setting, to
facilitate the exchange of traffic
advisories/restrictions, and to reduce
the risk of midair collisions between
aircraft operating in the vicinity of the
Falls. If the Control Tower is closed,
use the appropriate Automatic Ter-
minal Information Service (ATIS) Fre-
quency;
(5) Do not exceed 130 knots;
(6) Anticipate heavy congestion of
VFR traffic at or above 3,500 feet MSL;
and
(7) Use caution to avoid high-speed
civil and military aircraft transiting
the area to or from Niagara Falls Air-
port.
(f) These procedures do not relieve pi-
lots from the requirements of § 91.113 of
this chapter to see and avoid other air-
craft.
(g) Flight following, to and from the
area, is available through Buffalo Ap-
proach.
