铁人世锦赛10日在科纳开赛 FBI宣布赛区上空禁飞无人机 违者最高罚10万
铁人三项世界锦标赛将于10月10日在夏威夷大岛的凯鲁阿-科纳（Kailua-Kona）举行。联邦调查局（FBI）檀香山办公室10月8日宣布，将与执法伙伴一道，在赛事期间严格执行美国联邦航空管理局（FAA）在科纳周边划设的临时飞行限制（TFR），赛区上空将成为无人机的"禁飞区"。
FBI檀香山办公室代理特别探员主管瑞安·努南（Ryan C. Noonan）表示，FBI正在为铁人世锦赛执行无人机禁飞区执法；在司法部的授权下，探员和执法伙伴可以使用专业探测工具，识别并查扣违反临时飞行限制的无人机，以保障运动员、观众和社区的安全。违规的代价不低：民事罚款最高7.5万美元，刑事罚款最高10万美元，还可能面临最长一年监禁，无人机也将被没收。FBI提醒，无人机操作者在起飞前应通过FAA认可的B4UFLY应用或tfr.faa.gov网站查询空域限制；公众如发现可疑活动，包括不安全的无人机飞行，可拨打911报告。
铁人世锦赛是科纳每年最盛大的体育赛事，来自世界各地的顶尖职业选手和年龄组选手将在太平洋的海浪、火山地貌的骑行赛道和酷热的马拉松赛段中角逐世界冠军头衔，赛事周也为大岛带来大量游客和全球转播关注。随着无人机航拍日益普及，大型赛事上空的空域安全已成为执法部门的标准课题，今年的科纳也不例外。
FBI Announces Drone Crackdown Around Kailua-Kona Ahead of IRONMAN World Championship
The FBI's Honolulu division announced on October 8 that it will enforce FAA-imposed temporary flight restrictions (TFRs) around Kailua-Kona during the IRONMAN World Championship on Hawaii Island, which takes place Saturday, October 10. "The FBI is enforcing No Drone Zones around Kailua-Kona in support of the IRONMAN World Championship," said FBI Honolulu Acting Special Agent in Charge Ryan C. Noonan. Under Department of Justice authority, agents and law-enforcement partners can use specialized detection tools to identify and seize drones that violate the restrictions, in order to keep athletes, spectators and the community safe. Violations can bring civil fines of up to $75,000, criminal fines of up to $100,000, as much as a year in prison, and seizure of the drone. Operators are urged to check airspace restrictions through the FAA-approved B4UFLY apps or at tfr.faa.gov before flying, and the public can report suspicious activity, including unsafe drone flights, by calling 9-1-1. The IRONMAN World Championship is Kailua-Kona's marquee annual sporting event, drawing the world's top professional and age-group triathletes to race through ocean swells, lava fields and island heat — and, in recent years, an ever-growing number of camera drones, which is precisely what the restrictions are designed to manage.
