Summary of current flight restrictions  
— Since the tragic events of September 11, the status 
of our national airspace system has been changing almost hourly as national 
security officials, the Department of Transportation and FAA attempt to 
restore the national transportation system while maintaining national 
security. Below is a summary of the current status, with links to more 
information:

o VFR flight is permitted, except in enhanced Class B airspace. (See <A

and "<A HREF="http://38.200.9.137/#pressing";>AOPA Pressing for Answers</A>.") 
o Numerous TFRs (temporary flight restrictions) are in place, including a 
"blanket" TFR over sporting events and open-air assemblies (see <A
