All airspaces in which a potential hazard to aircraft operations exist and all areas over which the operation of civil aircraft are restricted or prohibited are classified according to the following three types of areas as defined by ICAO:-
An airspace of defined dimensions within which activities dangerous to the flight of aircraft may exist at specified times. This term is used only when the potential danger to aircraft has not led to the designation of the airspace as restricted or prohibited. The effect of the danger area is to caution operators or pilots of aircraft that it is necessary for them to assess the dangers in relation to their responsibility for the safety of their aircraft.
An airspace of defined dimensions, above the land areas or territorial waters of a State, within which the flight of civil aircraft within the designated airspace is not permitted at any time under any circumstances.
An airspace of defined dimensions, above the land areas or territorial waters of a State, within which the flight of aircraft is restricted in accordance with certain specified conditions. This term is used whenever the flight of civil aircraft within the designated airspace is not absolutely prohibited but may be made only if specified conditions are complied with. Thus, prohibition of flight except at certain specified times leads to the designation of the airspace a restricted area as would prohibition except in certain meteorological conditions. Similarly, prohibition of flight unless special permission had been obtained, leads to the designation of a restricted area. However conditions of flight imposed as a result of application of rules of the air or air traffic service practices or procedures (for example, compliance with minimum safe heights or with rules stemming from the establishment of controlled airspace) do not constitute calling for designation as a restricted area. Each area is numbered and a single series of numbers is used for all areas, regardless of type, to ensure that a number is never duplicated.
The type of area involved is indicated by the letter P for prohibited area. R for restricted areas and D for danger areas, preceded by the nationality letters FA, e.g. FAP1, FAD2, FAD3, FAP4, FAR5, FAD6, e.t.c.
Each area is described in the tabulations below which indicates its lateral and vertical limits, the type of restriction or hazard involved, the times at which it applies and other pertinent information.
These areas are also shown on World Aeronautical Charts ICAO 1:1 000 000 using the chart symbols shown in GEN 2.3 The upper and lower limits are shown in the manner indicated. Altitude and height are given in feet.
Information concerning such areas established in Botswana and Swaziland are published in AIP Botswana and AIP Swaziland and/or in NOTAM issued by these States and are not, therefore, included in AIP South Africa. The above mentioned relevant documents are available for reference at the Briefing Office, O R Tambo International Airport.
Buffer areas of at least the minimum applicable lateral separation standard shall be required between Temporary Segregated Areas (TSA) and controlled airspaces. If otherwise determined, a Safety Case Study taking all relevant factors into consideration must be performed. The following vertical buffer areas shall be applicable to these areas unless otherwise determined by a Safety Case Study:
a. at least 500FT between 1500AGL to FL195.
b. at least 1000FT between FL200 to FL280.
c. at least 2000FT between FL290 to FL650.
The following entry procedures regarding Restricted and Danger Areas under SAAF jurisdiction will be implemented.
a. Air Force Headquarters will be responsible for the granting of authority and clearances to:-
(i) Foreign Military Flights.
(ii) Foreign State Flights.
(iii)Aerial Photographic/ Survey Flights.
Application must be made in writing to:-

Note:
Authority to carry out flights as described in (a) (i) (ii) and (iii) above, must also be obtained from the specific controlling authority responsible for the Restricted or Danger area within which the flight will be undertaken. [refer to paragraph b].
b. No person shall operate a civil aircraft in any SAAF Restricted area without obtaining prior permission.
A specific controlling authority will be allocated to each of the SAAF restricted and Danger areas.
Contact with the controlling authority of Restricted areas must, and of Danger areas should be established as follows:-
(i) by two way radio on the appropriate frequency.
(ii) by telephone.
Note:
Civil aircraft operating inside SAAF Restricted areas will, when necessary be required to deviate from flight plan route and or level when in conflict with military flying activities.Within Danger areas a flight information service will be provided by the designated ATSU.
