VIP 91.141 TFR NOTAM Impact Statements

The FAA issues temporary flight restrictions (TFRs) whenever the president and vice president travel within the United States. NBAA Air Traffic Services specialists at the FAA Air Traffic Control System Command Center (ATCSCC) compile information about the impact of these TFRs on business and general aviation, including what airports and airspace might be affected. NBAA TFR impact statements reference public airports with at least one runway of at least 3000' in length.

These NOTAMs typically establish TFRs with an inner ring of 10 to 12 nautical miles to prohibit all general aviation operations below 18,000 feet.

Reissue #1: Rome, GA area - February 19, 2026 - View TFR Graphic

FDC NOTAM 6/4785 has been issued for the Rome, GA area on February 19, 2026. This NOTAM replaces 6/4731 due to a change in NOTAM language (the effective times remain the same).

Details:

A 12 nautical mile TFR ring centered on the RMG343008.3 point prohibits GA operations at Richard B. Russell Regional Airport - J.H. Towers Field (RMG) on February 19, 2026 from 1245 local (1745z) until 1830 local (2330z). *** Due to their close proximity to the TFR, some approaches and/or departures for Tom B David Field Airport (CZL) and Cartersville Airport (VPC) may not be available while this TFR is in effect. ***

A 32 nautical mile TFR ring centered on the RMG343008.3 point has additional, less stringent restrictions between the 12 and 32 nautical mile areas on February 19, 2026 from 1245 local (1745z) until 1830 local (2330z).

These NOTAMs typically establish one or more 3 nautical mile TFRs. General aviation operations are permitted inside these TFRs, as long as the aircraft are on IFR flight plans and in communication with ATC. Operators should expect arrivals to be held and no ground movement at airports during the actual arrival or departure of the vice president.

The FAA may issue other VIP NOTAMs under FAR Part 91.141 that are not related directly to the current president or vice-president (e.g. papal visits or president-elects). Typically, these TFRs mimic the 3 nautical mile vice presidential TFRs, but operators should always review the associated NOTAMs before operating into or near them.

FDC NOTAM 6/5649 has been issued for the Washington, DC area on February 24, 2026.

Details:

The boundaries of this TFR match the boundaries of the DC FRZ and SFRA.

An area defined by the boundaries of the DC FRZ (Flight Restricted Zone) will prohibit GA operations at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA), Potomac Airfield (VKX) and College Park Airport (CGS) from 1930 local (0030z/25) until 2359 local (0459z/25) on February 24, 2026.  **This prohibition includes participants in the DASSP.**

General aviation arrivals and departures, on IFR flight plans and in two-way radio communication with ATC, will still be able to access Dulles International (IAD), Baltimore Washington International (BWI) and Manassas Regional (HEF) while this TFR is in effect.  However, other transitions through the DC SFRA (Special Flight Rules Area) and FRZ will not be allowed for either IFR or VFR aircraft.  Additionally, aircraft will not be permitted to loiter in the airspace.

Ingress/egress procedures normally in place for JYO, VG57, 3VA5, MD47, MD77, MD43, MD14, and 51VA will be suspended during this TFR. 

All flight waivers to operate within the FRZ (Flight Restricted Zone) will be temporarily suspended during the time of this NOTAM, except waivers beginning with ELO, GOV, SPO, LEA, UFR, and LFG.

Additional restrictions are provided in the full text of the NOTAM.
