## What is TFR Browser?

Most TFR violations aren't defiance. They're pilots who simply didn't know.

Temporary Flight Restrictions appear with little warning — wildfires, VIP movements, sporting events, security operations — and checking for them means remembering to go and look. TFR Browser removes that step. Choose the states you fly in, and you'll be notified when a new restriction is published there.

WHAT IT DOES

- Alerts you when a new TFR is published in your selected states
- Checks the FAA's public TFR feed every 15 minutes
- Includes nationwide restrictions regardless of which states you pick
- Shows the affected airspace on a map, drawn from the FAA's published boundary
- Gives you effective times, altitude limits, the governing regulation, and who to contact
- Links straight to the official FAA record for any restriction
- Share a TFR with another pilot in a couple of taps

BUILT FOR HOW DRONE PILOTS ACTUALLY FLY

Most airspace tools alert you when a flight you've planned conflicts with a restriction. That doesn't help if you fly opportunistically and never file anything. TFR Browser watches for new restrictions being published, whether or not you've planned a flight.

FREE, WITH NO ACCOUNTS AND NO TRACKING

No sign-up, no subscription, no advertising, no analytics. The app never asks for your location.

IMPORTANT

TFR Browser is an independent app. It is not produced, endorsed, or verified by the FAA. It is advisory only and is not a substitute for an official preflight check. Alerts may be delayed or missed, and receiving no notification does not confirm that no restriction applies to your flight. Always verify at tfr.faa.gov before you fly. Compliance with all airspace restrictions remains the pilot's responsibility.
