FAA bans flights over Trump Tower: P-75 prohibited area incoming

## Summary

Starting October 29, 2026, the FAA is creating a no-fly zone called Prohibited Area P-75 around President Trump's New York residence to keep the skies safe and secure. This means no aircraft can fly within 1,000 feet above the area, helping the Secret Service protect the President and nearby property. If you fly drones or planes near Trump Tower, you’ll need to steer clear or face penalties.

## Abstract

This action establishes Prohibited Area 75 (P-75) in the vicinity of the New York, NY, residence of the President of the United States. The United States Secret Service (USSS) requested that the FAA restrict aircraft operations in the vicinity of President Trump's New York residence. To provide adequate safeguards for the USSS to fully secure the non-Governmental property and USSS protectees in the interest of national security, the FAA is establishing a prohibited area in the immediate vicinity of the presidential residence.
