I wonder what the circumstances are to establish a 'air exclusion zone'?
How would an overflying aircraft affect the evidence on the ground?
To deter 'ambulance chasers' I can understand, but, having been directly and indirectly involved in a few aircraft accidents over the years, I have not experienced this before.
Any other ideas?
The exclusion zone is only up to 1000ft so I’d guess it’s to keep the media helicopters from getting too close. It gives the pilots a clear guide when pushed to get closer by the reporters and camera operators. Might also be to keep drones away.
