What are the protocols of flying over conflict areas?
This is horrendous Incident, and my heart goes out to the victims Families who lost their loved ones.



The FAA filed a special Warning flying over Crimea back in April but apparently not where the airplane went down.

The procedure is to avoid flying over (Dead/No fly Zones) which Aviation Authorities are responsible in providing to the Airline companies so they can adjust their flight plans.
