OKLAHOMA CITY — The Federal Aviation Administration has issued a temporary flight restriction for Oklahoma City ahead of Game 7 of the NBA Finals on Sunday.
The restriction, set for “special security reasons,” affects drones within a .5-mile radius of downtown Oklahoma City from 5 p.m. to midnight.
This restriction prohibits unmanned aircraft systems, commonly known as drones, from flying from the surface up to 400 feet in the designated area.
The FAA had previously implemented a similar restriction for Game 5 of the NBA Finals, indicating heightened security measures during these high-profile events.
While the specific security reasons for the restriction have not been detailed, such measures are typically employed to ensure public safety and prevent unauthorized aerial activities.
