The FAA has issued a Temporary Flight Restriction (TFR) over a stadium for a high-profile sporting event. A drone operator wants to film the event from a spot that is still within the TFR boundary. What must the operator do?

Why: AC 107-2A § 5.10.3 (p. 5-8): TFRs are imposed by an FDC NOTAM, and the remote PIC must check NOTAMs before each flight to determine whether any airspace restrictions apply — a TFR restricts all aircraft, manned or unmanned, unless the NOTAM states an exception.

• Assumes a blanket Part 107 exemption from TFRs; small UA operations are not exempt from Temporary Flight Restrictions.
• Substitutes informal notice to event staff for the FAA's actual authorization process; private notification has no regulatory effect on a NOTAM-based flight restriction.
