Safety Guidance for Air Rallies, Fly-ins, Air Races/Contests and Charity Events

This non statutory safety guidance CAP is for organisers and participating pilots of fly-ins, air rallies and races/contests when such events are conducted in accordance with the normal rules of the air (unless specifically permitted or exempted) and do not fall into the scope of CAP403 (Flying Displays and Special Events). This document also provides guidance for organised charity events involving multiple aircraft.

The publication of this document does not introduce new legal requirements and forms non statutory safety guidance.

This new CAP is to build on the guidance formerly found in CAP403 Flying Displays and Special Events until Edition 14 when significant re-writing took place.
