CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA (CVILLE RIGHT NOW) – Two of the area’s regional airports, Charlottesville and Shenandoah, will be under a temporary flight restriction issued for the Charlottesville area on Friday night, according to the Federal Aviation Administration website.

The restriction runs from 5:15 p.m. to 6:45 p.m. Friday and is due to “VIP movement,” per the FAA.

“This is a security-related TFR – likely for a VIP movement protected by the U.S. Secret Service,” according to an announcement posted on Shenandoah’s Facebook page.

“At this time, CHO has no official statement regarding the scheduled TFR,” CHO spokesperson Stewart Key told Cville Right Now. “However, we are following the restriction as it pertains to the affected airspace.”

Among the flights allowed in the inner circle of the restricted area are approved law enforcement and military aircraft directly supporting the Secret Service or the Office of the President, according to Shenandoah’s announcement.

The Secret Service protects the President, Vice President, and their families, as well as past presidents.

The FAA site lists the restriction as being placed under Title 14 CFR section 91.141. That code states, “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 figures contrary to the restrictions established by the Administrator and published in a Notice to Airmen.”

The list of prohibited flight activities in the impacted area includes flight training, practice approaches, aerobatics, glider ops, parachute jumps, ultralights, hang gliding, balloons, crop dusting, banner towing, sightseeing flights, maintenance test flights, model aircraft, drones (UAS), and utility/pipeline survey flights.

“Drone operators who violate this can face serious action — the government may interfere with, seize, or destroy the drone if it’s seen as a threat,” according to the announcement.
