Proposed merge with No-fly zone[edit]

Both pages cover the same topic and are short enough to merge together without creating a page too big. CommanderOzEvolved (talk) 17:30, 27 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

No, they're not the same thing.
  • A prohibited airspace is something the civil aviation authorities of a country establish within their own borders. That's a very normal procedure following international ICAO standards – something the FAA establishes around Camp David.
  • A no-fly zone is typically declared by a foreign (with exceptions) power in a military context in a conflict zone. That's far away from standard procedure and if there are international rules for that, they're certainly not part of ICAO regulations but Law of war. What is being discussed in No-fly_zone#Civilian_Example were actually just a bunch of regular restricted and prohibited airspaces [1][2]. Nevermind, I just removed that nonsense.
That is obviously not quite clear from the articles as they currently are. But trying to merge them goes off into the wrong direction. --El Grafo (talk) 14:06, 12 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Closing, given the consensus not to merge. Klbrain (talk) 19:38, 25 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Area 51 not restricted?[edit]

Hi fellow wikipedians. Is there any reason why Area 51 is excluded here? I thought no one is allowed to fly over it. TravelAroundOz (talk) 11:50, 1 March 2021 (UTC)`[reply]

Area 51 is technically not a prohibited airspace. It's depicted on current sectional charts as underlying R-4808 N, which is a restricted area. Of course, this particular restricted airspace is from surface to unlimited and active continuously, so it is effectively an airspace where civilian air traffic is prohibited. But it is not actually a "Prohibited Airspace", as defined by the aviation laws and standards. 72.48.42.90 (talk) 18:39, 29 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
