The Federal Aviation Administration issues Temporary Flight Restrictions over major LA County events including Rose Parade, Super Bowl, Oscars, large stadium games, and active wildfires. TFRs block all drones inside the cylinder and ground LA County operations under Title 17.04.510.
FAA Temporary Flight Restrictions are issued under 14 CFR §91.137, §91.141, and §91.145 to protect public events, presidential movements, and disaster response. Recurring LA County TFRs include the Rose Parade and Rose Bowl, Super Bowl host years at SoFi Stadium, the Oscars and Grammys at downtown venues, the LA Marathon, and Coachella weekends. Stadium TFRs under FDC 9/3535 ban drones within three nautical miles of any MLB, NFL, NCAA D-I football, or NASCAR event from one hour before through one hour after. Wildfire TFRs extend over the active fire perimeter and air-tanker corridors. Title 17.04.510 layers County park enforcement. Violations risk certificate revocation, fines, and criminal referral.
Flying inside an active TFR violates 14 CFR §91.137 with FAA penalties up to 32,666 dollars per flight, possible criminal charges, and certificate suspension. Wildfire TFR breaches that ground firefighting aircraft can add federal felony charges.
