Hunting planes rushed to intercept a civilian plane Sunday after entering the limited airspace on Trump’s retirement in Bedminster.
The pilot flew to a temporary flight restriction area (TFR) around 12:50 p.m., according to a statement from the North American Aerospace Defense Command (Norad).
The civilian aircraft was escorted out of the area by Norad planes after using lighting rockets to attract the pilot’s attention.
Norad said the order was the second of the day, noting that another plane had entered the TFR area. In total, there were five unauthorized incursions over the weekend.
B-52 was on the flight path approved by the FAA before the Delta regional jet near Miss, says Air Force

The second case, said Norad, involved lighting rockets, which may have been visible to the public.
Norad has added that light rockets “are used with the highest esteem for the safety of intercepted planes and people on the ground.”
The light rockets are also exhausted quickly and completely, said Norad, so there is no danger for those on the ground when they are dispersed.

Managers warn private pilots to do their homework before takeoff.
“It is reminded to the general aviation pilots to verify all the opinions of the Federal Aviation Agency (FAA) to aviators (NOTAM) and the fly informed before each flight; in the case of the Bedminster, the New Jersey region, in particular the FAA Notams 9839, 9840, 9841 and 9842”, said Norad.

Norad underlined in previous cases how important it is for the safety of North American flights for the pilots to avoid rape the TFR.
“All pilots must familiarize themselves with the limited airspace updates, including the new and existing NOTAM FAA exams which have an impact on their plans and flight activities,” said Norad. “Membership of the Protocols of Restricted Airspace of the FAA is compulsory, whatever the geographic region, the cell or the crew.”
