Why Planes Don't Fly Over Antarctica

  • Have you ever wondered if there are things an airplane simply can’t or won’t do? It turns out that airplanes have strict rules regarding their pathways in the sky - for safety reasons, and for the sake of staying friendly with continental neighbors. Some of the places they’re not allowed to fly over might surprise you!
    For example, planes won’t fly directly over the Earth’s poles and over the Pacific Ocean. You can't see planes over Tibet and over the City of Mecca. The airspace over Walt Disney World and Disneyland is also a no-fly zone. The same applies to Area 51 but we don't know why.

    SUMMARY:
    - Due to the windy and snowy conditions of the Antarctic mountains, this area is more prone to white-outs; the pilot wouldn’t be able to see at all!
    - The Earth’s north pole has super strong magnetic fields that are constantly changing - their reach and direction can change by miles a year!
    - Planes won’t fly over Tibet. This is largely due to the Himalayan Mountains. First of all, if a plane has to land in an emergency situation, mountains aren’t exactly the ideal impromptu runway.
    - There’s a strong magnetic field in Makkah. As mentioned earlier, a magnetic field can cause navigational problems for pilots.
    - George Washington’s House is considered a National Historic Landmark, so to prevent further damage to the historic home, even from air vibrations in the sky, the airspace above George and Martha’s house was declared a no-fly zone.
    - In 2003, the Disney Corporation put “temporary” no-fly zones over both their parks, but somehow, they just stuck.
    - Due to the many presidents and world-wide VIPs that visit Camp David, the airspace above the whole compound is a no-fly zone for safety reasons.
    - Kennedy Space Center in Florida is a no-fly zone. There’s a lot of NASA and U.S. Airforce activity that goes on here - pretty important work. So safety for all parties is the top priority.
    - Buckingham Palace is meant to protect the Queen and the royal family, so of course a no-fly zone was established above it.
    - The Indian government place a no-fly zone above the area of the Taj Mahal in 2006 to safeguard this important historical building and the many tourists who come to witness its majesty.

    Planes do fly over the Pacific Ocean when they are heading to Hawaii, when they fly to Asia from the West Coast they head North over Alaska and head West. They fly this route to avoid the headwinds which would cause them to burn more fuel fighting the headwinds blowing from West to East.

    Santiago - Sydney is an Antartica route, performed by a 4 Engine Aircraft under a maintenance program for high reliability, Performed only during the south hemisphere summer, not for weather reasons, but for comercial reasons. Inertial and GPS signals are now the primary source of navigation, per law, a regular compass is installed on every aircraft, a special permit is given for such routes that magnetism navigation is not practical. Aircraft don’t flight over the Everest because there is no airway over it, and who doesn’t like a photo of the highest mountain. Many twin engines aircraft can’t flight routes if they don’t have an airport with in 60 minutes in-route, but if is maintain under ETOPs maintenance program, the could fly up to 120 minutes of flight to the nearest airport in-route.

    Runways are numbered according to how close they are aligned to magnetic North, not true North. Also, magnetic North is not located at the North pole, which invalidates your answer as to why they won't fly over the North pole. On routes between Canada and Northern Europe, they do fly very close to the poles. Commercial airliners are not 100% dependent on an accurate magnetic compass. Their primary compass is gyroscopic. The magnetic compass only serves as a backup should the gyroscopic compass fail, GPS fail and whatever ATC radar is available for vectors fails. They use chart software built into the Flight Management Computer (FMC) to determine what their course over ground needs to be which translates to the heading they need to follow to stay over their trackline. Whoever provided your information is wrong. Maybe check your information with a professional pilot next time? It is quite a disservice to provide inaccurate information to the public.

      @@E3ECO Redundancy is key in aviation. There was a time when ariplanes with 2 engines could not fly between US and Europe. Specifically because people thought they would have no redundancy. Also, the airspace is not 'free for all'. While Gyro and GPS work as back-up to one another, ATC vectoring exists to also facilitate safety margins between different aircraft in the sky.

    for the Area 51 one, only their security helicopters (they have helicopters that covers the ground that the ground security can't reach) and the fighters jets they have out there are allowed to fly for testing purposes only. The only civilian aircraft that can fly over to Area 51 is the JANET lines coming in from Las Vegas, which is basically Area 51 workers from Vegas.

    There are many other no flying zones around the world.

Ten years ago, a private pilot wanted to check what would happen if he flies over the Planalto Palace (where the president works) and he was followed by Brazilian air force planes that forced him to land and he got arrested and sued for violating federal air space.

    Actually there are a few passenger flights from Melbourne to Antarctica each year. They are sightseeing trips. They dont land in Antarctica just fly over it low to give great views of the ice. Because they don't land the Antarctic flights are actually classed as Australian domestic charter flights using Qantas aircraft. Either a 747 or A380 typically. Tickets for them are sold by Croydon Travel in Melbourne Australia.
    They have flights on new years eve and Valentine's day each year.

    The reason why planes don't really fly above Antarctica is because of the ETOPS rating for most planes are too low for it to make a landing as it's going above the Antarctic. Nearest airport from there would be somewhere down in New Zealand or Australia which is around 8-10hrs away from the center of the Antarctic. Planes that flew above it were 4 engined planes. Pan Am flight 50 is a good example, they used a 747SP to go through there.

    1:00 there’s a thing called IFR- Instrument Flight Rules. Basically, you fly mainly using instruments, so you can fly in low visibility conditions. Also, if you are at cruising altitude, there’s a very high chance you’ll fly over the windy/snowy conditions.
    Also for 3:55 there are some A340s fitted with oxygen tanks so if there is a decompression, the air supply would last longer that the average 15 mins.

      Umont12 for example, airplanes do fly over over the South Pole just not normally. It is VERY common for planes to fly over the North Pole. The reason that planes normally don’t fly over the South Pole is a certification called ETOPS (Engines Turn Or People Swim) basically if they loose an engine, how long can the plane stay aloft on one engine. If the time that it can be aloft isn’t long enough to make it to a airport, then that is out of the certification zone.

    Bruh pretty much the whole bottom of Northern America is a no fly zone! Space centre, Disneyland, Area 51, president houses and more!

    QANTAS flys sightseeing flights over Antarctica every summer, as well as the US Airforce does resupply drops all the time.
    And I've been flying across the Pacific Ocean since the 70's from Sydney to LA often with stops in New Zealand and Hawaii.

    As An Aviation Expert I Can say that Planes can Fly Everywhere A Boeing 787 once landed in antartica a lot of planes can fly over anywhere but some areas are restricted due to millitary airspace.

    It's a bit scary that 16k people upvoted this when it's so inaccurate. I hope they do a little research on their own.

    We use magnetic headings to fly. But these days with modern avionics and with the help of inertial navigation system we are able to fly using true headings. As a matter of fact inertial systems measure headings based on true north and use earth variation to calculate headings based on magnetic north.

    Planes actually does fly over tibet, the Chengdu airlines, and the Yunnan airlines are two airlines that have flight routes that flies over tibet. Normally on a plane that flies over the tibet, 2 pilots and 1 co-pilot will be flying the plane.

      Mountain climbers that want to climb the Himalayas will fly to Kathmandu (If I spelt it correctly) Airport, also known as one of the most dangerous airports in the world; there would be parts of the Himalayas terrain in its approach path.

    Now I know that runways are numbered by how many degrees off true north they are. I have wondered why they were numbered the way they are. I’m actually speechless. So good to come across a video where one actually learns something new.
