Consultation: CAP1988 Safety Guidance for Air Rallies, Fly-ins, Air Races/Contests and Charity Events

We have launched a consultation on CAP1988: Safety Guidance for Air Rallies, Fly-ins, Air Races/Contests and Charity Events.

This new non-statutory safety guidance is for participating pilots and Event Organisers (EO) of such general aviation events when they 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).

The consultation runs from the 12 January to the 16 February 2026.

We invite stakeholders to give us their views.
