The North American Aerospace Defense Command, also known as NORAD, will be conducting routine operations over the airspace in Phoenix during Super Bowl LVII, while the Federal Aviation Administration confirmed it will impose a temporary flight restriction over the area.

“Pilots should anticipate a Temporary Flight Restriction (TFR) in the Phoenix area on Sunday, February 12, 2023,” according to the FAA in a recent news release. “Typical TFRs limit the availability of certain operations, including glider operations, flight training, and unmanned aerial system (UAS) operations. Specific procedures described on this website and/or contained in an associated Notices To Air Missions (NOTAMs) may be revised or unavailable at the time of the event, and access to some airports may be restricted. Pilots are encouraged to check NOTAMs frequently to confirm they have the most current information.”
