New plane flyover pattern?

Anyone notice more planes flying over town?  Really noticed it today.


Flight patterns had to be altered to the presence of He Who Must Not Be Named in Bedminster.


Yeah- thought it may have some connection.  oh well


Many of the Standard Arrival Routes (STARS) use waypoints very close to Cheetoh Central.     In order to avoid overflying the area,  many flights are routed west and then come back east over our area.   This is a notice to corporate pilots flying in/out of Teterboro, which is the majority of the traffic you see/hear.  


Bedminster TFR Aug 4-20, 2017

As you may be aware, the FAA has issued a VIP TFR for Bedminster, NJ from Aug 4-20, inclusive. The 30 nm ring cuts directly across Teterboro Airport.

Throughout the ENTIRE Bedminster TFR period, departure gates to the West (NEWEL, ZIMMZ, PARKE, LANNA and BIGGY) will be unavailable, and you will be rerouted. The south gates (WHITE & DIXIE) and east gate (BREZY) should be unaffected, except perhaps due to volume associated with reroutes. Conversely, when arriving from the south, expect to be rerouted to the west and inbound via the LVZ4 arrival.

Furthermore, during the time frame surrounding Presidential movements between Bedminster and Morristown, a Morristown TFR will also be in effect, during which certain SIDS, STARs and IAPs may not be available depending upon the directional flow (north or south).

Please consider carrying additional fuel to account for these circumstances, as these reroutes will add considerable distance and time to your flights.

Note: The Airport Operations Bulletin describing this TFR can be found on our Operations tab.
