Overview

• An updated NORAD public notice reports six general aviation violations of the Bedminster Temporary Flight Restriction over Saturday and Sunday.
• One Saturday incursion at 1:55 p.m. EDT prompted an F-16 intercept that used flares to gain the pilot’s attention before escorting the aircraft out of the area.
• NORAD said the flares may have been visible to the public and emphasized they burn out quickly with procedures designed to protect people on the ground.
• The new tally supersedes an earlier NORAD notice that cited four weekend incursions and aligns with a U.S. Air Force statement reporting six.
• Authorities reminded pilots that TFR procedures are mandatory and urged checks of FAA NOTAMs and Fly Informed resources before every flight.
