Trump Tower just got a little more exclusive.

The Federal Aviation Administration ordered pilots to avoid flying over the midtown Manhattan high-rise as a security precaution for president-elect Donald Trump. The flight restriction is necessary for "VIP movement" around town, the agency said.

Flights over Indiana Gov. Mike Pence’s residence in Indianapolis are under similar constraints until the vice president-elect moves to the U.S. Naval Observatory in Washington.

Both orders expire Jan. 21, the day after the inauguration. In New York, the directive bars flights below 3,000 feet in midtown Manhattan, mostly in relation to flights out of LaGuardia airport. Military aircraft, the Secret Service and emergency aircraft are exempt. For Pence, the restriction covers flights below 1,500 feet. Both orders also cover drones.

Violation of either restriction could result in the use of deadly military force against the intruding aircraft, the FAA warned.

Such orders are routine for presidents and former presidents who live or stay outside the White House. A similar flight prohibition exists for the Texas ranch of George W. Bush. Temporary flight restrictions are also put in place for important figures, such Pope Francis when he visited Philadelphia in September 2015.
