A prohibited area is a specific section of airspace where aircraft flight is not allowed. This zone can be found above land or territorial waters of a country. The dimensions of these areas are officially defined and are shared in national Aeronautical Information Publications (AIPs). These publications include details about the area’s vertical and lateral limits, as well as the hours when the restrictions are in effect. Understanding these zones is crucial for pilots to avoid airspace infringement, which can lead to serious consequences.
