And the Tibetan Plateau - no emergency airports, average altitude of 14,000 ft, a geography that causes turbulences and freezes jet fuel. Not exactly ideal according to ICAO.
Also the path low-key implies that the world must be flat because surely no one would consider flying point A to point B simply by going southwest instead of all that flying around airspaces...Kyrie Irving, do you know something we don't know?
Flat or otherwise, a circular/spherical shape cannot possibly have "corners." It is geometrically impossible. Therefore, whether Earth is flat or not is irrelevant.
I actually remember at least once flying over the North Korea on my flight between Helsinki and Tokyo-Narita airport. It was only for a brief moment over the city of Chongjin before the plane headed for the Sea of Japan. AFAIK that's the only area where North Korea actually allows foreign airlines to fly over their airspace (for a good fee of course). Not sure if airlines are allowed to use this route anymore after the North Korean missile tests.
And I would like to add another: Taiwan Strait is also a highly sensitive region that no commercial airplanes are allowed to fly through. So the flight from Taipei/Taichung/Kaohsuing to Xiamen or Fuzhou need to fly a long way around it (800km instead of 200km fly-cross), except Taiwan's domesic flights to Kinmen or Lienchiang (Matsu) where is located in the west of the strait, are allowed to fly through it directly.
Pacific Ocean is Prohibited Airspace now The whales have had enough of our bullshit polluting the world's oceans and will shoot down any planes that fly in their airspace
I live in Vladivostok and I'm impressed how accurate you pronounced the name of my city. You can scarcely hear someone outside pronounces it in such way.
How do you plan to use this useless information? I'm guessing you're also a fan of the channel "Half as interesting" This is 0 calorie brain food for NPCs lbs
Man. I remember flying to South Korea and the pilot was headed straight toward North Korea and then finally turned towards the Yellow Sea. I was just thinking to myself is he trying to get us shot down lol
Actually these flights go between Area 51's airspace and China Lake/ Joshua Approach's airspace. Think of a line from Pahrump to Beatty to just sw of Coaldale, this area is outside of those restricted areas.
@@jimmym3352 I wouldn't recommend this route by air. Fallon is home to the Naval Air Station Fallon and US 95 goes near the bombing range they use. You can see targets from the highway and I've seen them drop live ordinance in the area. There is also the Undersea Naval Warfare Training Center at Walker Lake and the Army Ammunition Depot Hawthorne. In general, there are many reasons over 90% of the state of Nevada is off limits to the public.
Note: Windsor Castle doesn't have any sort of air restriction. Source; Windsor resident for 25 years and still getting woken up by the planes departing and arriving at Heathrow. This problem will only be exasperated if/when the 3rd runway is ever built
You know what's ironic: The 'B' at Australia from 7:50 is actually restricted airspace LOL. The dot covers as least part of the ‘Woomera Range Complex’, which the Australian military uses to conduct military exercises and tests. It is also ironically similar to the land area of.....North Korea.
I was flying last year for my birthday, and my instructor was telling me I was allowed to pierce loose clouds, he pointed to a cloud to our port side, and told me to buzz that. I banked and ruddered my way there, turned out it was the summer residence of the princess of The Netherlands, we were intercepted by an F-16. He got off with a three month ban and I got away with a fine, only 300 euros, but it’s an experience!
Even when landing in Paris, you cannot fly over the city of Paris. The only possibility to fly over París is at 20 000 feet above the city. Orly and CDG airport are located in the Paris metropolitan area but not on Paris. Not to confuse both.
There was an incident I remember from back in the summer of 2010 where a private plane flew into the President’s prohibited airspace when he was visiting Seattle. Two F-15 fighter jets were scrambled to defuse the threat and they broke the sound barrier right above where I lived at the time.
4:46 - Windsor is on the flightpath to Heathrow. You see it when you take-off/land
3 года назад
Yeah, I was going to say, planes fly over Windsor regularly. Actually, even during the broadcast of Harry and Meghan's wedding, I could see planes in the sky, I tracked them on FlightRadar24 and they went straight above the castle, on their approach to LHR.
One time I went to do a cross country night flight with my instructor. We flew, stopped for a while, went to fly back and realized that our home airport was temporarily closed. We'd checked the NOTAMs beforehand but it wasn't on there when we checked for some reason. It was... a bit of an ordeal. But minor by comparison.
One time, I was traveling back to Hong Kong from LAX via Shanghai Pudong (United Air). So the fastest route is to pass thru Northern part of North Korea from Eastern Russia, then straight to Shanghai. However, the flight head west when prox. 50km away from North Korea border in China. Passing Tianjing, and from there to Shanghai.
"These are airspaces that you are not allowed to fly over." US Military: "Hippitty hoppity, your airspace is now my property." *Proceeds to fly drones and spy planes over the area*
@@ianeons9278 Other airlines can and do fly into Pyongyang, there's just no commercial scheduled flights because well... there's no market for it. RLL even says here (despite the clickbait) that North Korean airspace isn't closed per se, it's just most countries and/or airlines have a policy of avoiding it, same as eastern Ukraine etc.
7:50 Instead of that long route, you could just go the easy way, getting to the left side (that is, flying over the Pacific). That's definitely easier if we go from the US to Australia. If that's true, then why the video only shows the long route over the Atlantic and Eurafrasia?
The path you are telling is how most flights between australia and United States take place. But during 7:50 he wanted to emphasize that while flying in the world can be confusing for some people due to restricted airspaces, Remembering passwards is not. In brief, it was just a segway to the sponsered part of the video.
I flew over a part of north korea near Chongjin coming from Japan. And I was uncomfortable as heck. To this day, I don’t understand why we couldn’t have flown a bit more east.
Hey man. Love the videos. I’m a commercial pilot and I just noticed some inconsistencies with the info here. The map you introduced of restricted airspace seemed a little off and then when you zoomed in to the restricted over Area 51 you outlined it a lot larger than you depicted it on the previous map. The second illustration of the restricted was the correct one. Also, the airspace that follows Air Force One and the airspace above Ex-President’s homes and Disneyland is not Prohibited Airspace, it’s a TFR (Temporary Flight Restriction). TFR’s are not depicted on standard Sectional Charts because they move/ come and go. They also are for things like large gatherings of over 30,000 people and Sporting events. So Disneyland is not a TFR for Mickey Mouse, but the amount of people concentrated in that area, and it’s a TFR, but permanent. It’s weird, but that’s how it works. Prohibited and Restricted Airspace is depicted because they typically stay where they are and are more permanent. I love the video though and you always do a great job! Just thought I would help a fella out and let you know.
'Restricted airzones around the world make navigating the worlds skies from point A to point B a more difficult task.' _Casually draws line through Iran, North Korea and the right half of Ukraine_
Skies over Cuba are quiet, you don't notice it at 1st & after a few days start to notice the Lack of planes overhead considering the Caribbean is such a popular tourist destination
Just so you know, Kitsap isn't a city or town, it's an entire county 😂😂😂 I live extremely close to that Naval Base. I had no idea it was such a big deal to be placed in a prohibited airspace!! That's amazing!!
As a Las Vegas resident i appreciate that you say Nevada the CORRECT way, it bugs us Nevadans when people pronounce our State wrong especially when people pronounce it in that STUPID ASS WAY LIKE Nev-Ahh-Dahh, OMFG i hate that shit.
ive flown through a restricted area with permission before. If its for general artillery training. and the area is not active. you'll probably be able to fly through it.
Also in 2017 everyone in the Persian Gulf (except Oman) acted against Qatar. Qatar Airline flights needed to do 2 hour detours around the peninsula to go anywhere else.
"amateur" pilots also check navigation charts, but not everyone is flying IFR hence the occasional drift into a restricted airspace or leaving the designated one. Also you are not allowed to fly lower than 500ft near buildings, vehicles and people. In congested areas like cities it increases to 1000ft above the highest structure in the vicinity (radius of 2000ft)
It is internationally controversial that "Sea of Japan" should be named "East Sea" because of the small islands located in East Sea. Known as Dokdo(or in Japanese assertion, Dakeshima). Some historical territory issues are ongoing between Korea and Japan. Actually Korea has Effective Control on that islands, not only these days but from Josun Dynasty era. On my personal opinion, I want to assert that island is Korea's territory, not only because I am a Korean, but historically and currently, it was Korea's territory, is Korea's territory, and will be Korea's territory.
As for the body of water, neither Japan nor Korea owns it (it's legally international waters except for space around disputed islands) so I suppose they can both call it whatever they want. It's not "internationally controversial"; only Korea disputes it being called the Sea of Japan and most maps other than those made by Korea label it as such. If only one country seriously objects (2 if you count North Korea as a separate country) then it's only controversial to that country. It's not so much that most of the world supports Japan on this matter as "East Sea" is incredibly generic (east of what?) while "Sea of Japan" makes it a lot more where the body of water is. Korea doesn't insist that the Yellow Sea be called the "West Sea" so this is clearly just a grudge against Japan and not because they have any cultural or historic claim to the body of water. The islands ave been variously claimed on both Korean and Japanese maps, but historical maps are not of much help as they weren't particularly accurate, often placing the islands in incorrect places if they even included them at all. (It's almost overstating things to call them "islands" as they're basically big rocks, have never been permanently inhabited, and have only been used as convenient places to fish from.) Korea more actively defends them now, and I suppose possession is 9/10 of the law as they say. Japan has been willing to have the dispute settled by independent arbitration; Korea has refused this, saying there is no dispute to settle (honestly seems ridiculously stubborn to me, as the arbitration would probably go in their favor anyway). Japan doesn't seem to care much about the islands but they don't want to be seen as just giving them away (occasionally especially nationalistic Japanese people protest this point but even they don't seem to care about it very often). If Korea just consented to arbitration they could have this dispute settled by now. I mean, Japan is willing to let Korea have them, as long as it's not Japan that has to say that.
7:59 You made it more complicated than need be. The earth is a sphere, not a flat piece of paper. Which means you can easily go South West from N. America and still get to New Zealand and Australia.
Flying into restricted airspace unintentionally was why Korean Airlines lost two airliners flying into restricted Soviet airspace at the time (KAL Flights 902 and 007). That likely increased the impetus to install OMEGA navigation receivers on airliners by the middle 1980's (even the 2.2 km accuracy was good enough to avoid most restricted airspace) and to install GPS receivers by the late 1990's.
Iirc, international requires all nations to provide assistance to aircraft in destress. So for those restricted sections, if an aircraft required emergency assistance, the government would be required by law allow those aircraft access.
That is the case especially for the pro-Putin sorts! Granted, I think Putin's opponents (even in Russia) will _really_ like seeing Crimea as part of Ukraine, but still, I'm sure Putinists would prefer Crimea to be a part of Russia!
Irony is, the local Crimean government is so inept and corrupt that Russians there had slowly started to change their minds about the whole thing. Even Natalya Poklonskaya called the officials out on this.
Middle Eastern (arabic) airlines do not usually fly over Israel, avoid Syria (if not traveling to Syria), only fly through a portion of Iraq, do not fly over Yemen, and until recently, there was a dispute between Qatar and the other countries of the GCC (like Saudi and the UAE) so yeah, you can imagine what a mess of a flight it was to travel out of Qatar bound to practically any other country. Or a flight from Lebanon to the UAE.
