Abstract

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) plays a pivotal role in maintaining security within the National Airspace System (NAS). This paper discusses employment of temporary flight restrictions and other air domain security measures during the September 2008 United Nations General Assembly meeting. Also discussed are some of the airspace security incidents that occurred during the event, identified as Tracks of Interest, and some of the impacts that the airspace security measures had on the NAS and its users. A comparison is made with impacts measured during the 2007 United Nations General Assembly meeting.
