Definition of Restricted Area
A Restricted Area is a specific airspace designated by 14 CFR part 73 where the operation of aircraft is subject to restrictions while not wholly prohibited. Pilots should be aware of the airspace boundaries of Restricted Areas and adhere to the established procedures before and during flight. Access to these areas may require authorization or clearance, and failure to comply with these restrictions can result in severe consequences. Restricted Areas are typically established to ensure the safety and security of certain airspace designated for national security purposes or known hazards. It is essential for pilots to review NOTAMs and other relevant information to ensure compliance and safety while navigating Restricted Areas.
