This consultation contains the proposed amendments to the next edition of CAP1724: Flying Display Pilot Authorisation and Evaluation: Requirements and Guidance (Edition 8), which are planned to be effective from mid-March 2026.

Why your views matter

It is vital that CAP1724 is up-to-date and relevant to allow the display industry to prosper whilst maintaining public safety at all times. Feedback from the regulated community is crucial in supporting this.

In addition, this feedback will assist in ensuring that the regulations governing the gaining, maintenance and evaluation of Display Authorisations are proportionate, clear and unambiguous.

This consultation period allows the regulated community to provide feedback on the changes to CAP1724 ahead of the forthcoming 2026 Display Season.
