What's going on with Nairobi?

Hello, I see a red circle around HKJK which tells that only GA aircrafts can fly there…
I’m flying a 773, should I cancel the flight or search for another airport??

That TFR is due to the FNF. Please check out the FNF thread for more info, and yes, you should find another airport.

[FNF%20Safari%20Header] [FNF%20Safari%20Header%202] Join us for this week's FNF: African Safari ----- The African Safari is world renowned for being that of beauty and splendour. No matter the park or country safaris take place in, they always thrill and excite those who partake. Now, you may think that everyone drives to a safari, but you would be mistaken! Safari parks are packed full of small airstrips that bring people to the safari parks! So jump in any general aviation aircraft ca…

Ohhhhh… Sucks

But I see big aircrafts on the radar…

Somethings there are also red dots while there’s no FNF:

Reading Airport Dot Colors

Today we will be covering an important feature in Infinite Flight that provides us a ton of information, whether we’re sitting on the ramp planning a flight or enroute to our destination. The Airport Color Dots come in handy as we’re nearing our destination. Staying ahead of the aircraft in crucial to ensure that things are running smoothly and that you’re not caught off guard should something unexpected happen. Part of the preplanning process for your arrival should be checking the weather at …

But I see big aircrafts on the radar…

How is it???

[Mika]

Oh I’m sorry… I’m currently not flying :)

[hi15td]

That is probably because they spawned in, without looking at the TFR, IFATC will deal with them.

[rubinedan]

And what about the big aircrafts around??? In the air which are approaching

[hi15td]

IFATC will deal with them as well, as according to the TFR, they are not allowed, they should be diverted to different airports.

[rubinedan]

So should I go there and they will deliver me?

[hi15td]

I would suggest making their job easier, and diverting on your own.

[rubinedan]

OK… Thank you

[Adam_Williams]

I’d recommend staying away from any of the featured airports if you’re not in a GA aircraft. It’s unnecessary annoyance for the IFATC who will essentially deny you entry. I’d suggest you find a nice airport that isn’t featured to divert to, and fly there instead.

[rubinedan]

But look at this guy… He is on final which means he passed the APPR and the ATC gave him clearence

[hi15td]

The NOTAM went up as many pilots were approaching and taking off. I would assume there was a grace period (for lack of better words) for those already in the airspace or those who were at the airport that didn’t get the latest ATIS update.
I copied this from @Grizpac on the FNF thread, that should explain it.
