Correction - No-Fly Zone a two mile radius of site up to 3000 meters.
Early speculation for no-fly zone is to keep helicopters away so they can hear anyone trapped easier.

installing a no fly zone is standard procedure for these things...the media is so busy flying close to the deck to get carnage video, that rescuers on the ground can't hear radios, let alone any victims.
