Why can't the plane fly over Tibet?
There are many no-fly zones in the world, the forbidden country Tibet being one of them. Tibet is a place where there are more than 6000 meters high mountains. There are many mountains that are more than 6000 meters high. Tibet is famous for its high mountains. And the whole of Tibet is surrounded by high mountains. The mountains are covered with snow for about eight months of the year.
Plane fly over Tibet
We know that our atmosphere is arranged in 5 levels. The closest layer to Earth is the Troposphere which is 7 miles above the Earth. And Everest is more than 5 miles above the earth. As a result, the plane has to move between two levels. Due to the low oxygen content, the aircraft cannot pass through this layer.
A commercial plane usually flies over 6000 meters above the ground. But the mountains of Tibet are even higher. That is why the mountains are like walls near the plane.
Most planes have the capacity to fly more than 20,000 feet in altitude. Most aircraft carry oxygen for 20 minutes for emergency use. According to the rules of aviation, oxygen must down reach 10,000 feet before it reaches the required altitude. Mountain range in Tibet, at an altitude of 26,000-30,000 feet. In this case, oxygen is available from the height at which the pilot has to take the plane to pass over the mountain, making it difficult to descend to such an altitude of the atmosphere in 20 minutes. Airlines do not want this kind of fuss, so they avoid flying over Tibet.
But the interesting thing is that there are airports in Tibet. In other words, even if the plane does not go over Tibet, the plane does take off and land in Tibet. Some of the civilian airports in Tibet are Lhasa Gongger Airport, Chandu Bangdu Airport, Nyingchi Airport, and Ngari Gunsa Airport.
