[edit] Merge Temporary Flight Restriction

Since a TFR is part of the Federal Aviation Regulations it seems that we should combine the stub with this wikipedia article. I propose this be done after 14 days from today if there are no objections. Alan.ca 11:56, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

1. Oppose. A TFR is a completely separate item, simply defined within the FARs. It is a needed sub-article, and a separate subject. There are far too many items/regulations within the FAR to cover in one article. AuburnPilot^talk 21:19, 30 October 2006 _(UTC)

Actually, a TFR is a part of the FAR, it is section 91.145 to be precise. Alan.ca 22:26, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

1. Oppose. I agree that TFR is a part of the FAR however, there just aren't enough details in this article yet to justify putting a stub in here. We've merely outlined the FAR, and haven't even put any details for the outline. I agree that we should at least put the TFR in the external links section at the bottom.

I created a section, regulations of interest. While I agree it would not be appropriate to list all FARs in this article, there is only one of interest at this time and it seems that it can fit here just nicely. If the regulations of interest section became too large, at that point, it could be considered to branch some of the more lenghty topics into their own articles. Alan.ca 22:22, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

1. Oppose. You went ahead and moved this, even though there were only objections and no support. I also object. Yes, TFR is part of FAR. But people looking up info about TFRs might not care about any other FARs.

Of interest to whom? I'm a pilot, and to us everything in the FARs is supposed to be "of interest" - and there are a lot of other more important sections than TFR. I don't really like TFR ("of interest" to the general public) being thrown in with FAR (of interest mainly to pilots) but if you're going to do it, you should at least change that heading. I'm trying to think of what to call it.--Justfred 23:51, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

• I am not certain that is the appropriate heading for the section, it would also be possible to group the more well known regulations by the FAR section. Are there other stub articles on wikipedia providing details about other sections of the FAR? 24.141.167.197 17:54, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

FAR part 61 (private pilot) and/vs part 135 (commercial pilot) are pretty interesting to pilots; most of the rest are important but I don't hear pilots referencing them by section.--Justfred 21:14, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
