W. (the International Control 

Dam) to the United States/Canadian 
Border and thence along the border to 
the point of origin. 

(b) No flight is authorized below 3,500 

feet MSL in the area described in para-
graph (a) of this section, except for air-
craft operations conducted directly to 
or from an airport/heliport within the 
area, aircraft operating on an ATC-ap-
proved IFR flight plan, aircraft oper-
ating the Scenic Falls Route pursuant 
to approval of Transport Canada, air-
craft carrying law enforcement offi-
cials, or aircraft carrying properly ac-
credited news representatives for which 
a flight plan has been filed with Buffalo 
NY (BUF) Automated Flight Service 
Station (AFSS). 

(c) Check with Transport Canada for 

flight restrictions in Canadian air-
space. Commercial air tour operations 
approved by Transport Canada will be 
conducting a north/south orbit of the 
Niagara Falls area below 3,500 feet 
MSL over the Niagara River. 

(d) The minimum altitude for VFR 

flight over the Scenic Falls area is 3,500 
feet MSL. 

(e) Comply with the following proce-

dures when conducting flight over the 
area described in paragraph (a) of this 
section: 

(1) Fly a clockwise pattern; 
(2) Do not proceed north of the Rain-

bow Bridge; 

(3) Prior to joining the pattern, 

broadcast flight intentions on fre-
quency 122.05 Mhz, giving altitude and 
position, and monitor the frequency 
while in the pattern; 

(4) Use the Niagara Falls airport al-

timeter setting. Contact Niagara Falls 
Airport Traffic Control Tower to ob-
tain the current altimeter setting, to 
facilitate the exchange of traffic 
advisories/restrictions, and to reduce 
the risk of midair collisions between 
aircraft operating in the vicinity of the 
Falls. If the Control Tower is closed, 
use the appropriate Automatic Ter-
minal Information Service (ATIS) Fre-
quency; 

(5) Do not exceed 130 knots; 
(6) Anticipate heavy congestion of 

VFR traffic at or above 3,500 feet MSL; 
and 

(7) Use caution to avoid high-speed 

civil and military aircraft transiting 
the area to or from Niagara Falls Air-
port. 

(f) These procedures do not relieve pi-

lots from the requirements of § 91.113 of 
this chapter to see and avoid other air-
craft. 

(g) Flight following, to and from the 

area, is available through Buffalo Ap-
proach.
