CACNP Quoted in CBS News

Observation flights by member countries are allowed over the entire territory of other member states. States have to provide 72 hours’ advance notice of their flyover plans, but the host country, under the treaty, may not restrict access to any part of its territory except for safety reasons. In the past, Russia has been accused of unfairly restricting some of its territory from view, in particular, over Chechnya or within 10 kilometers of its border with Georgia, according to the Arms Control Center.

The treaty was signed during President George H.W. Bush’s presidency, though President Dwight Eisenhower had the idea for it. He felt that transparency between the U.S. and Russia would reduce the risk of direct conflict between the two, according to the Center for Arms Control and Non-Proliferation. Moscow didn’t think much of the idea at the time, but after the Cold War, Russia reconsidered when Bush brought it up again.
