Kerr County is still restricted airspace

Kerr County is still restricted airspace as crews continue efforts to reunite missing loved ones with their families.  The airspace is currently restricted until Saturday.  Those that want to fly, an aircraft or a drone must register and get approval, otherwise it could result in a violation or a fine.

A North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) jet intercepted a civilian aircraft above Kerr County Wednesday afternoon just before 4 p.m.  This intercept, combined with yet another TFR violation, has resulted in a total of five unauthorized incursions into restricted airspace.  The civilian aircraft was safely escorted out of the area, by the NORAD fighter aircraft.

General aviation pilots are reminded to verify all Federal Aviation Agency (FAA) Notice to Airmen (NOTAMS) and Fly Informed before every flight.  Pilots can access the most up-to-date information published by the FAA at https://TFR.faa.gov/.
