ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

No-fly zone

Imagine you are playing a game with your friends in your backyard. You have a rule that says nobody can enter a specific area in the yard, and you call this the "no-go zone." Only certain people are allowed inside this area, and everybody else has to stay outside.

With a no-fly zone, it's kind of like playing that game in the sky. Certain areas of the air are designated as off-limits, and nobody is allowed to fly there except for certain authorized aircraft. These no-fly zones are typically set up for safety and security reasons, like around airports or military installations.

The no-fly zone is enforced by pilots and air traffic controllers who keep an eye on the airspace and make sure that no unauthorized planes or drones enter the restricted area. If someone does fly into a no-fly zone without permission, there can be consequences like fines, imprisonment, or even military intervention if it is considered to be a threat to national security.
