REMINDER: Carbon Monoxide Safety in General Aviation

From 1 January 2025, operators of specified piston engine aircraft are required to have a functioning active carbon monoxide detector on board when operating with passengers who do not hold a recognised pilot qualification – see SD-2024/001 for further details.

Our Safety Sense Leaflet provides guidance to GA pilots on how they can protect themselves and their passengers from CO by employing effective prevention via maintenance and detection methods. 

For further guidance, please visit our safety page on carbon monoxide on the CAA website.
