Private planes restricted in 15 urban areas 
The Associated Press


Flights by private planes are limited in 15 urban areas under rules
imposed since the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. In those areas, all pilots
must file flight plans with the Federal Aviation Administration, as if
they were operating under instrument flight rules. The only exception is
for flight training in small airplanes. Ninety percent of the private
traffic in those areas normally would fly under visual rules where no
flight plan is required. 

No private plane flights at all are allowed within 20 miles of Kennedy
Airport in New York and Reagan National Airport near Washington. 

The limited areas are: 

Atlanta 

Boston 

Chicago 

Denver 

Detroit 

Las Vegas 

Los Angeles 

Miami 

New York City 

Orlando, Fla. 

Philadelphia 

Pittsburgh 

San Diego 

San Francisco 

Washington
