Am Wochenende des 4. Juli kam es im Luftraum über Donald Trumps Golfresort in Bedminster, New Jersey, zu einer Serie von Sicherheitsvorfällen. Elfmal verletzten Flugzeuge den vom US- Luftfahrtbehörde verhängten Sperrluftraum, woraufhin das nordamerikanische Luftverteidigungskommando NORAD Kampfjets einsetzte.

Overview

  • FAA imposed a temporary flight restriction over Bedminster, New Jersey, during President Trump’s July 4 weekend stay.
  • Eleven civilian aircraft entered the restricted zone, triggering multiple NORAD F-16 scrambles including five on Saturday and more on Sunday morning.
  • In one incident, an F-16 executed a “headbutt” maneuver to force a plane out of the restricted area.
  • General Gregory Guillot criticized pilots for ignoring NOTAMs and urged intercepted crews to switch to emergency frequencies 121.5 or 243.0 and await further directions.
  • The FAA and NORAD have launched a joint evaluation of the weekend breaches to strengthen airspace protection procedures.
