FAA rights course after Palm Beach sued over Mar-a-Lago no-fly zone

The FAA has redesigned approaches for flights to and from Trump International Airport in Palm Beach, Florida, after a dispute over a newly imposed no-fly perimeter around Mar-a-Lago. FAA Administrator Bryan Bedford said in an interview with the Washington Examiner that the agency quickly responded to a Secret Service request but later changed the perimeter routes to reduce noise impacts on surrounding areas. Palm Beach County, along with the city and town of Palm Beach, sued the FAA last December, claiming aircraft were diverted over communities that had been quieter. County officials said the change affected 20,000 residents. More than 6,000 noise complaints were filed after the adjustment, compared with fewer than a dozen per month before. All aircraft and drones were banned within 1 nautical mile up to 2,000 feet of Mar-a-Lago.
