Air Law

1.5.4.1 Special airspaces, restrictions

P (Prohibited Area)

A restricted airspace over a state’s territory or territorial waters within which

flight is prohibited.

If an aircraft enters an area where aviation is prohibited, the aircraft must leave

the area without delay and notify the relevant public authority as soon as

possible and, unless the authority gives other instructions, land immediately at

the nearest aerodrome within the kingdom, the use of which is open to the

public for flying and where landing is possible.

R (Restricted Area)

A restricted airspace over a state’s territory or territorial waters within which

flight may only occur under certain specified conditions.

If the restricted area is not active according to NOTAM, it may be transited. If

active, permission must be requested from the relevant authority mentioned

in BL 7-20.

D (Danger Area)

A specific airspace within which activities may pose a danger to aircraft in flight

(outside the 3 nautical mile boundary).

Prior to any flight that might pass through area D, the aircraft commander must

check if there is any hazardous activity in the area. If such activity is ongoing,

fly-through should be avoided. Information about activity in D-areas can be

obtained the day before the planned activity from 11:00 (10:00) UTC at ACC,

FIS and at briefing offices at airports.

A series of projectiles which, when exploded, produce red and green

lights, fired at 10-second intervals during the day or night, indicate to

an aircraft that it is flying in or about to fly into a restricted area, a

prohibited area or a danger area without permission, and that the

Sensitive Natural Areas
aircraft must take the necessary precautions.
