I don't want to fly over the DPRK - no need to do that - but it sure would be nice if I could transit their FIR, well offshore of the country, as illustrated in the diagram below.
This would enable me to avoid landing in Japan, which can be a 'complex' activity. Ideally, I'll fly from Vlad to Busan, then from Busan onwards to Taiwan.
We'll see how the overflight permissions progress. If I don't get an approval to transit the DPRK's FIR, I'll need to make a pretty big turn to the west after leaving Vlad, and land somewhere in Japan. That will take me quite a bit off-route.
