AI Summary
This bill tells the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to set up or update rules that temporarily keep aircraft, including drones, from flying over or near big outdoor concerts and music festivals. It applies when a festival draws at least 30,000 people per day. The goal is to protect people, keep flights safe, and prevent crowded skies during these large events. The FAA must do this within one year after the law takes effect, and it should handle these concerts much like it already handles airspace for major sporting events and air shows. Drones are included under these temporary flight limits.
Key points:
- Who is affected: Pilots, drone operators, event organizers, and people attending large outdoor concerts and festivals .
- What changes: Temporary flight restrictions will be placed over and around these events, similar to rules used for big sports events and air shows; drones are covered too .
- When: The FAA must set or update these rules within one year after the law is enacted.
