There's a 2nm-radius TFR over southern Manhattan for the next few days that juts out halfway across the Hudson. I assume that precludes the Class E SFRA route northbound, because flying along the eastern shoreline is mandatory for that route.
But does anyone know if ATC usually approves the Class B Skyline route northbound during such TFRs? There's no exception to allow ordinary traffic to transit the TFR circle even with ATC approval. But ATC could approve a modified Skyline route, diverting to the middle of the river to bypass the TFR area.
I called the number listed for the TFR, but they referred me to EWR tower. I called the number listed for EWR tower, but it doesn't seem to answer. This sort of TFR has been active before, though. Does anyone have experience with the Skyline route at such times?
