Thursday FAA’s new rules for Manhattan airspace go into effect. The Hudson River air corridor will be carved into separate areas for local and long-distance traffic.

Local planes and helicopters will fly at 1,000 feet or less; those passing through NYV between 1,000 feet and 1,300 feet; and scheduled airline flights directed by ATC at higher altitudes above 1,300.
