What is this about? Thanksgiving grounding? "No pilots may operate an aircraft in the areas covered by this NOTAM (except as described)."

Why link to an article that you can’t read unless you sign into their cheesy news website? Copy the article and post the text.

What app is the map on the left from? It does not match with the Gadsden TFR that is only a 5 mile radius around the fire.

I also can't see past the paywall but that was the only source mentioning anything about this when I posted it.

Massive???
TFR info clearly states 5 mile radius.

Look, I'm not trying to make a big deal over this but Inside the B4UFLY app, I can't get any LAANC authorizations in my area and I live 200 miles Northeast of Gadsen. I'm just stating what the app is providing.

Vast overreach with a TFR into East TN and even into Western NC for a fire in N. AL.

It's an error in whatever app you are using. This is what it looks like in reality:

Too bad FlightRadar24 doesn't show the skies cleared of any planes under 4500 AGL. That would be an interesting discussion. Is it the FAA that creates TFRs? I guess someone at B4UFLY just transposed some bad lats and longs.

I understand! I just get tired of those types of articles. They make their money on advertising. I can understand limiting to 1 article a day using cookies. If you reject the cookie you don’t read the article.

I have a text into one of my FAA contacts. As soon as I hear back, I'll post. But this doesn't show up on the FAA's TFR page. I believe it is a glitch in the B4UFly app.

And the Aloft app showing the same massive area.

B4UFly is now corrected. Not sure about Aloft, but the TFR is incorrect. It deals with a much smaller area. You can ignore that.

As of 11:30ish this morning, the big TFR went away on both apps for me.
