Federal Aviation Administration
As a result of the September 11th terrorist attacks in 2001, amid concerns that general aviation could pose a threat to public safety, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) placed a permanent Temporary Flight Restriction (TFR) over the entire Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, Florida. The flight restriction extends outward from Cinderella's Castle, which is used as a visual reference, in a 3 mile radius up to 3000 feet above the surface. However, law enforcement and Walt Disney World Cessna 172 aircraft are exempt from this TFR.

Famous quotes containing the word federal:
“Newsmen believe that news is a tacitly acknowledged fourth branch of the federal system. This is why most news about government sounds as if it were federally mandated—serious, bulky and blandly worthwhile, like a high-fiber diet set in type.”
—P.J. (Patrick Jake)
