Since last month, at least 27 aircraft have violated a temporary restriction on the airspace near President Trump’s estate in Palm Beach, federal officials say. Trump is spending his fourth weekend in South Florida since becoming president; the three prior weekend visits came back-to-back in February. During the president’s visits to Mar-a-Lago in February, dozens of local aviators violated the airspace restrictions, including 14 times between Feb. 17 and Feb. 20. The FAA has declined to release the names of the pilots who violated the airspace restrictions or discuss their cases, citing ongoing investigations. Pilots violating airspace restrictions might get off with a warning, but presidential-related intrusions likely will lead to a license suspension, Norton said.
