When may a pilot legally fly through a restricted area?
When may a pilot legally fly through a restricted area? If the airspace is “active,” “open,” or “hot” they will deny you permission, and you will have to go around. You can legally fly through a restricted airspace when it is “cold,” or “closed.” I recommend you speak with the controlling agency prior to entering, though.
How many times can a pilot go around?
A go-around is a relatively rare maneuver for most commercial pilots. On average, a short-haul pilot may make a go-around once or twice a year, and a long-haul pilot may make one every 2 to 3 years. Going around carries risks which include: Ineffective initiation of go-around can lead to Loss of Control (LOC).
Can pilots land at any airport?
Private pilots can technically land at any commercial airport, subject to the approval of air traffic controllers. However, major airports such as Heathrow, JFK, and LAX are often busy with commercial airline traffic, making it less likely for private pilots to attempt landing their smaller aircraft there.
Why can you not fly in restricted zones?
Restricted areas often contain unusual and hazardous operations, like missile launches, air combat training, and artillery firing. You'll also find restricted areas over large military installations or other areas deemed necessary by the FAA/government.
