FAA Proposes 1-Mile Permanent Flight Ban Over Mar-a-Lago

Summary
A one-mile no-fly restriction around Mar-a-Lago was proposed Wednesday by the Federal Aviation Administration, moving to make permanent limits that had not been fixed in place.
The FAA said the rule would address a longtime complaint from President Donald Trump and a more recent security concern raised by the Secret Service.
Flights using the nearby airport—recently renamed after Trump—would be affected because the restriction covers traffic entering and leaving the area.
If adopted, the measure would formalize tighter airspace controls over the president's Palm Beach property and could reshape local flight patterns around the airport.
