🔥Do you know why aircraft don't fly
over Tibet?
If you look at the Flight Radar application, you will see that while there are many planes flying all over the world , there are no planes in the Tibet region of China.
So why don't planes fly over Tibet❓
When they pass over Tibet❓
Why do they go around it when they can go for a shorter time❓
In fact, the answer to this question is hidden in the "roof of the world" analogy used for Tibet. Tibet is a geography with an average altitude of 5 thousand meters above sea level and home to Mount Everest, the highest place in the world.
So what does this mean?
The cabins of modern passenger aircraft are pressurized. When a malfunction occurs in this pressure system, oxygen masks are first activated to allow passengers to breathe. However, the capacity of the oxygen system is sufficient for 15-20 minutes. 💨
Therefore, when a failure occurs in the cabin pressure system, pilots have to pull the plane to an altitude of 3 thousand meters. In most parts of the Tibetan region, the altitude is well above 3 thousand meters. There is no environment in Tibet where planes can descend safely in case of an emergency.
Additionally, when one of the engines in twin-engine aircraft fails, the aircraft must descend to a certain altitude in order to fly safely. Unfortunately, this is not possible due to the geographical structure of Tibet.
