iFlightPlanner uses real-time data published by the FAA to depict Temporary Flight Restrictions (TFRs) throughout its web-based interfaces as well as in iFlightPlanner for iPad and iFlightPlanner for iPhone. This helps pilots make informed decisions when flying near areas where flight restrictions are published – but unsure whether or not they're active.
TFRs that have been announced but are not yet active are colored orange, whereas those that are currently active are colored red as shown in the screenshot below.
