TFR Depiction
Known published TFRs, both upcoming and active TFRs are depicted on the map page as shown
below. After the TFR expires, it is no longer displayed.
As of mid-2014, the FAA's ADS-B data broadcast no longer includes graphical
depictions of Stadium TFRs. Although SkyView retains the capability to show them,
at this the FAA has given no indication that they intend to restore them to the data
that is sent via ADS-B. Dynon has created a database for Stadium TFRs which can be
loaded similar to other Aviation databases from the Dynon website. Pilots are
reminded the ADS-B services are considered advisory and supplementary
information only. Dynon recommends that you always obtain official briefing
information about all aspects of your flight, including TFRs.
