Descend and land. You’d have done that long before “starting to enter” restricted air space. Otherwise enjoy your fine and potentially losing your license once the FAA finds out.

It’s like not you can accidentally enter restricted air space. You know you’re going to be entering the airspace long before you get there so there is plenty of time to take action.

Actually, a lot of people don't realize they're in restricted airspece. There's more small airports than people realize.

Small airports aren’t really an issue tho. FAA won’t come after you for that. But you should always know where you are, where the restricted air spaces are, with a plan to avoid them. If not you’re fucking up as a captain.

Restricted airspace’s are there for a reason. It’s for safety and not paying attention to them has consequences.

Yes, but unlicensed people won't know where they are. It's not like there's signs in the sky.

I'm an unlicensed ultralight pilot and I know where I can and cannot fly. Every ultralight pilot I know also knows where to fly (and how to read a sectional).

It's not like there's signs in the sky.

If there are, landing might not be the best option! Best to fly over the apocalypse 👍

There are sectional charts on the ground, available to the general public, not just licensed pilots. If you're going to fly, you are expected to know the relevant airspace long before you fly in it.

[-] Rivalarrival@lemmy.today 5 points 1 month ago

That's true, but "not knowing" is a far more egregious violation. Licensed or not, a pilot is expected to know where they are allowed to fly, and where they actually are. "I didn't know it was restricted" is the aviation equivalent of driving the wrong way on the freeway.

Sectional Charts are freely available from the FAA in digital form, and cheaply (<$10) available on paper. They have a legend that shows how controlled airspace, congested areas, and airports are depicted, along with more than enough landmarks for orientation. Every pilot, licensed or not, must know where they can and cannot fly their aircraft.
