indyz 1 #1 March 23, 2003 Mayor Daley was pretty pissed off that New York and LA had no fly zones, so he badgered the FAA into putting flight restrictions over downtown Chicago. I'm sure that a 3000 foot minimum altitude will really do a lot to protect Chicago from yahoos in airplanes. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

algboy 0 #3 March 23, 2003 "Mayor Daley was pretty pissed off that New York and LA had no fly zones, so he badgered the FAA into putting flight restrictions over downtown Chicago." I'm wondering, how does this impact flights in and out of Meigs Field (right on the lakefront in downtown Chicago)? Any IL pilots with some NOTAM info? Does this affect Skydive Illinois, Skydive Chicago, Chicagoland Skydiving et al??“Keep your elbow up!" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
indyz 1 #4 March 23, 2003 QuoteThis affecting any of the DZ's in the local area? Most likely not. According to NBC 5, "The FAA restrictions imposed Saturday bar flights below 3,000 feet in an area bounded by Lake Michigan on the east, Irving Park Road on the north, Ashland Avenue and the Kennedy and Dan Ryan expressways on the west, and the Eisenhower Expressway on the south." Unless the DZs are flying over the city, it shouldn't affect anything. I can't find any info that mentions Meigs. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
