Danger area (aviation)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

As danger area (Engl. Danger area ) is referred to in the aviation a specified airspace , held in the temporary or permanent activities that endanger aircraft represent.

Basics

Hazardous areas have defined vertical and horizontal dimensions. In addition to the spatial extent, danger areas have a temporal effect. They can be effective continuously or only on certain days and at fixed times or only after prior notice via NOTAM . The vertical expansion can also be changed in individual cases using NOTAM. Permanent danger areas are published in the Aviation Manual and are graphically displayed on aeronautical charts (especially ICAO charts ) and marked with the country code and a "D" (for danger ) followed by a serial number. For example, ED-D 41 stands for a danger area that extends along the North Sea coast from Heligoland to Sylt (E = ICAO region Northern Europe, D = Germany, D = danger).

Differences from air exclusion and flight restriction areas

As well as air and restricted flight areas, danger areas serve the purpose of flight safety . In them there are basically the same - mostly military-related - dangers as in restricted flight areas ( artillery and flak shooting , ground / air shooting , air / air shooting , air combat exercises, flights by military drones , deposition of airborne troops, etc.). However, flying through these areas is not restricted or requires a permit. Nonetheless, pilots are strongly advised to avoid these danger areas or to coordinate the flight through with air traffic control beforehand .

Since danger areas - in contrast to air and flight restriction areas - can also be defined outside the sovereign territory of a state, they are often set up where a state carries out military operations and exercises over international waters . For example, the danger areas defined by the Federal Ministry of Transport (BMVI) are exclusively outside of German territory (12 miles zone) over the North and Baltic Seas .
