The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is working with law enforcement, the aviation community, and the National Football League (NFL) to ensure unambiguous, safe, and efficient aircraft operations for one of the biggest events of the year, Super Bowl LVI, which will be held Feb. 13 at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, Calif.
The agency expects hundreds of additional takeoffs and landings and parked aircraft at Los Angeles metropolitan airports during Super Bowl week. In addition, special procedures, including Temporary Flight Restrictions (TFRs) and a «Drone Free Zone,» will be in place and will restrict flights around SoFi Stadium before, during, and after the game.
On the day of the event, the TFRs will go into effect at 14:30 (Pacific Time). They will cover a circumference of 30 nautical miles, centered over the stadium and from the ground to 18,000 feet. It will expire at 20:30 (Pacific Time) but may be extended if conditions warrant. Drones are completely prohibited in the TFR area.
TFRs will not affect scheduled commercial flights at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX). Military, public safety, medical and emergency operations may fly over the TFR while it is operating, in coordination with air traffic control.
