DAs that are restricted by byelaw are marked on the CAA charts with a symbol (an asterisk * I think? it’s in the legend). Ultimately that info comes from the AIP:
ENR 1.1 / 5.1.3.2.3: “For those Danger Areas where Byelaws which prohibit entry apply, the Remarks column 3 of ENR 5.1 includes the year and number of the relevant Statutory Instruments (SI)”
Yes, but the Channel ones aren‘t even DAs, they are TDA‘s and as such, aren‘t even listed in the AIP.
Presumably there is some administrative convenience in calling these danger areas rather than restricted areas.
I mean I presume it’s easier for the regulator to make a danger area rather than a restricted area, while it’s harder for pilots to understand!

They are the same in terms of pilot punishment.It is all a part of this stupid policy which started a few years ago. The phrase is “total punishment”.
I have never met anybody who knew who started this scheme but we all know who runs it
I’m not talking about enforcement. I’m talking about the regs and they didn’t change recently.

That’s why I wrote “most”.
Ok we flew today on the way back, instead on the way down to LFRG, along the coastline of UK. In 3700ft we were 200ft above these new „restricted“ zones. It was fine but lower would be better as we did in the amsterdam area (1200ft). Would be fine to know what kind of restiction these „aerial survey“ are for the next flight.

There are no restrictions at all. The areas are just for information.
