ZKKP Pyongyang FIR

안녕하십니까 - Annyong Hashimnikka

Welcome to the ZKKP Pyongyang Flight Information Region (FIR) wiki page for North Korea's airspace, part of the IVAO XE East Asia Region Division! These sets of pages should help provide you with all the information you need while controlling North Korean airspace.

Note: Please keep in mind, IVAO stresses that our network is at global peace without any conflicts between nations. We also strive to simulate realism. So, while it is ok to respect the prohibited airspace at the DMZ between the DPRK and ROK, on IVAO, direct flights are permissible between the two nations. At no time shall any war simulation be performed in Korean airspace as this is a huge violation against IVAO rules and regulations. That being said, enjoy Pyongyang Control
