To assist with search operations after the Hill Country flood, the Federal Aviation Administration, FAA, has issued a Temporary Flight Restriction, TFR, in Kerr, Kendall and Comal counties.
The big picture
According to a news release, the TFR restricts aircraft and unmanned aircraft systems, UAS, or drones, from operating without permission. UAS pilots must coordinate with the controlling agency listed.
Due to search efforts in affected areas, there is a high volume of aircraft operating in a tight corridor, so adherence to the temporary flight restrictions rules must be followed for the safety of all aircraft and ground personnel within the area, according to a news release.
