Can I fly through a TFR?
Some TFRs specify that aircraft may fly in the TFR airspace provided that they meet certain requirements like being on an active flight plan, maintaining a discrete squawk code, and staying in two-way radio communications with ATC at all times while within the TFR airspace.
What is the purpose of a TFR?

Is a TFR a notam?
A Temporary Flight Restriction ( TFR ) is a type of Notices to Airmen ( NOTAM ). A TFR defines an area restricted to air travel due to a hazardous condition, a special event, or a general warning for the entire FAA airspace. The text of the actual TFR contains the fine points of the restriction.
Who can fly in a TFR?
Only law enforcement or military aircraft are permitted. The outer areas may allow aircraft to transit the area with certain restrictions. The NOTAM will also list the types of operations that are not permitted. Generally, these are anything except flying from one point to another.
Can I file IFR through a TFR?
A pilot should not file an IFR flight through a TFR. If they did and that flight violated the TFR, they are subject to enforcement action. From an Air Traffic Quality Assurance standpoint, a controller should not allow an IFR or VFR flight that they are working to fly though a TFR.
Which type of TFR will possibly have an irregular shape?
Another point worth noting is that not all TFRs are the same size and shape. For example, firefighting TFRs may have an irregular shape with a large geographical “footprint.” If while planning a flight you see that your course takes you near a firefighting TFR, remember that fires can spread rapidly.
