The Federal Aviation Administration has scheduled temporary flight restrictions for the town of Palm Beach from Friday, Oct. 16, through Sunday, Oct. 18, according to an FAA Safety Team notice. The agency issued a VIP movement notification on Monday, Oct. 12, which points to a possible visit by President Donald Trump.

The notice suggests Trump may return to Palm Beach County for the first time in months. His last stay in the town was this spring.

During Trump’s second term, the FAA has issued similar restrictions whenever he has spent time at his Mar-a-Lago resort. Earlier restrictions barred most aircraft from flying within 30 nautical miles of Palm Beach.

Residents and pilots planning travel to the area over the weekend should check for restrictions before flying. The FAA has not said publicly whether the president will attend a specific event or how long he will stay.
