The CAA and the Military Aviation Authority jointly run a Flying Display symposium each spring, supported by strategic partners within the Flying Display environment.

The Pre-Season Symposium is held in the spring.

The aim of the symposium is to provide:

  • regulatory feedback
  • safety awareness
  • human factors training
  • identification of lessons learnt and to disseminate best practice to display pilots, event organisers, and Flying Display Directors (FDDs).

They also give the Flying Display community an opportunity to share feedback with regulators in order to improve the Flying Display environment as a whole.

DS27 Flying Display Symposium

The 2027 Pre-Display Season Symposium will be held on 23 and 24 March 2027 at IWM Duxford.

More information will be available closer to the time.
