Summary

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is proposing to create restricted airspace around Camp Lejeune and Cherry Point military bases in North Carolina to protect military operations and national security. This means private planes and drones would be banned or heavily controlled in these areas.

Key Points

  • 1The FAA wants to establish no-fly zones around two military installations in North Carolina to keep military training and operations safe from civilian aircraft
  • 2Private pilots, drone operators, and recreational flyers would need special permission to fly in or near these restricted areas
  • 3The public has until May 6, 2025 to submit comments about whether they support or oppose this proposed rule
  • 4The restriction aims to prevent accidental collisions and interference with military activities at these important defense facilities
  • 5This is still a proposed rule, meaning the FAA is seeking feedback before making a final decision
