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:
“Prestige is the shadow of money and power. Where these are, there it is. Like the national market for soap or automobiles and the enlarged arena of federal power, the national cash-in area for prestige has grown, slowly being consolidated into a truly national system.”
—C. Wright Mills (1916–1962)
