Airspace restrictions: where to check
Terasor holds no airspace restriction data. This section points at the authority that does; it does not tell you whether you may fly.
The FAA hosts no map of its own; B4UFLY airspace data reaches pilots through the approved apps and web tools listed on this page.
US flight restriction zones near this point
From FAA data retrieved 1 October 2026: prohibited areas, restricted areas and the standing national security UAS flight restrictions. The FAA feed no longer carries end dates for the national security restrictions, so some of those shown here may already have ended and there is no way to tell which. It carries no temporary flight restrictions or NOTAMs, no controlled airspace, and no UAS Facility Map or LAANC data. Near an airport your authorisation path runs through LAANC, and nothing on this page can tell you whether you need it or hold it.
Nearest zones within 30 km, by distance to the zone boundary, showing 3 of 3 found.
- Los Angeles (20260626-DOJ-Los Angeles-US Federal Building): national security UAS flight restriction, 296 m away, surface to 400 ft above surface.
- Marine Forces Reserve (20171110-DOD-MARFORRES-RTC Pasadena): national security UAS flight restriction, 18.1 km away, surface to 400 ft above surface.
- LA Air Station (20170518-DOD-LA Air Station-Space Program Office): national security UAS flight restriction, 19.2 km away, surface to 400 ft above surface.
None of these links covers everything. Temporary restrictions and short notice airspace closures, local rules about where you may take off and land, permission from the landowner, and privacy law all sit outside them and need checking separately.
Flight Window is a planning aid, not an authority to fly. It uses third party data that may be wrong or incomplete. A clear display is not permission to fly. Always check official weather and airspace sources before flying.
