Flight Restrictions Imposed Over Pence Home

Federal officials have imposed temporary flight restrictions over Vice President-elect Mike Pence's current home at the Indiana Governor's Residence.

A Federal Aviation Administration notice dated Wednesday prohibits most aircraft from flying below 1,500 feet within a one-mile radius of the Governor's Residence in Indianapolis. It says military aircraft supporting the Secret Service are exempt, along with police and emergency aircraft.

The FAA generally issues temporary restrictions when there's a special event or hazardous condition. Similar limits have been issued for around Trump Tower in New York City.

The notice says the Indianapolis air space restrictions are needed because of "VIP movement." They expire Jan. 21, the day after Pence becomes vice president.
