The information described here may change at any time without notice. Please contact us for the latest information on Federal government policy and procedures.

Following the terrorists attacks on Sept. 11, 2001 the FAA, at the urging of several government agencies, banned nearly all classes of aircraft from operating in American skies. Slowly these restrictions have been relaxed and one that remains is a 10 nautical mile circle around Washington's National Airport. Only commercial scheduled airlines, military, law enforcement, and medical flights are allowed inside that circle.

In some circumstances we can get a waiver into this restricted area up to 7 nautical miles of National Airport. Priority is given to clients from a government agency.
