The legislation directs the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Administrator to issue or revise regulations for temporary flight restrictions around outdoor music festivals.
The regulations must be established within one year of the legislation’s enactment.
Temporary flight restrictions apply to both manned and unmanned aircraft in designated airspace.
Restrictions are to be implemented when necessary to protect people or property, maintain air safety and efficiency, or prevent unsafe aircraft congestion.
The legislation specifically targets outdoor concerts or music festivals with an attendance of at least 30,000 people per day.
The FAA is instructed to treat these events similarly to aerial demonstrations or major sporting events in existing regulations.
The designation of restricted airspace should align with current regulations for unmanned aircraft.
