Prohibited Area: A designated airspace where the flight of aircraft is strictly prohibited due to security reasons, safety concerns, or sensitive activities taking place within the area. This type of airspace is considered a no-fly zone and is typically established by government authorities to prevent unauthorized aircraft from entering the area. The boundaries of a prohibited area may be defined by geographic landmarks, radar coverage, or other means to ensure compliance. Violation of a prohibited area can result in serious consequences, including interception by military aircraft, fines, or disciplinary actions. It is crucial for pilots to be aware of and adhere to prohibited areas to ensure the safety and security of air transportation.
