Massive No-Fly Zone Over Beijing After Crazy Crash!

Wow, did you guys hear about this? A Sunward SA 60L Aurora crashed into a Beijing skyscraper back in June, and now China has put a huge no-fly zone in place. We're talking 108,000 square miles - that's 372 miles wide! Non-commercial flights are banned from the ground all the way up indefinitely.

I get why they'd want to tighten things up after something like that, but it feels like a pretty extreme move, right? I mean, there are a lot of private pilots and general aviation folks who are gonna be affected by this. Plus, I wonder about the impact on air traffic control and how this will change flight routes for commercial flights.

Does anyone know if this kind of no-fly zone is common after incidents like these? And what about the tech they'd need to enforce it over such a large area?

It's kind of wild to think about the logistics behind managing such a massive airspace. What do you all think - overreaction or necessary precaution?

Yeah, that's a huge area to restrict! I get the safety concerns, but it does seem like a massive clampdown. Similar no-fly zones have been set up in the past, like after 9/11, but this size is pretty extreme. Managing air traffic around such a large area must be a nightmare for controllers. Plus, I wonder how it'll affect general aviation and those who rely on these flights for business. Anyone know how long these things usually last in China?

I get why they'd want to lock things down, but 108,000 square miles is nuts! It reminds me of the TFRs we saw post-9/11, but even those weren't this big. For private pilots, this is a game-changer. I wonder if they'll start using more drones to monitor such a vast no-fly zone. What happens to the smaller airports around Beijing? Are they just gonna be ghost towns now?
