A flight plan is required for any flight that operates, originates or terminates in the FRZ. This includes flights to and from the MD3 airports as well as flights operated to DCA under the DASSP program, or under an FAA waiver for medivac, law enforcement, photo, survey, and similar purposes.
I put you my list of benefactors for whom I pray and for whom I often say Holy Mass. In view of the rapidly changing challenges I now face, I would like to add more $10/month subscribers. Will you please help? For a one time donation... To donate monthly I prefer Zelle because it doesn't extract fees. Use frz AT wdtprs DOT com
The FRZ has been in effect since . The only non-governmental flights allowed within the FRZ without a waiver are scheduled commercial flights into and out of Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport.
The DC FRZ extends approximately 13–15 nmi (15–17 mi; 24–28 km) around the DCA VOR/DME. Flight within the FRZ is restricted to governmental, certain scheduled commercial and a limited set of waivered flights.
The FRZ covers approximately the area within a 13-15 nautical mile radius of the Washington, D.C., VOR/DME (DCA) and severely limits the operations at three airports located within the FRZ.
The FRZ is a highly-restricted ring of airspace directly over the nation’s capital. We will cover the exact location and dimensions of the FRZ and the Leesburg Maneuvering Area later in the course.
FRZ stands for Flight Restricted Zone—controlled airspace where drone flights are prohibited to ensure safety and national security.
