Ensuring a Safe World Cup Experience: Drone Regulations As we prepare for the excitement of the World Cup, public safety remains the top priority. Temporary Flight Restrictions (TFRs) will be in effect around all critical infrastructure and event locations. Why it matters: These restrictions protect fans, players, and staff from potential accidents and security threats. Flying a drone in these restricted areas is a federal offense. We urge all operators to act responsibly: 1.Verify Airspace: Always check tfr.faa.gov. 2.Respect the No-Fly Zones: Avoid stadiums and fan festivals entirely. 3.Report Violations: If you see something, say something by calling 911. #PublicSafety #WorldCup #AviationSecurity #DroneRegulation fbi.gov/contact-us/field-off…
