Post-season flying display symposium

Updated 15 July 2022

Symposium aim

The primary aim of the Post-season flying display symposium is for Display Pilots, Flying Display Directors (FDD), Flying Control Committees (FCC) members and Event Organizers (EO) to reflect on the previous Display Season to identify and address safety related issues in preparation for the Display Season the following year. The symposium is jointly hosted by the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) and the Military Aviation Authority (MAA).

The Post-season flying display symposium provides an ideal opportunity for the Regulated Community to reflect on issues encountered during previous display season, share issues between military and civilian participants and promote ‘good practice’ within the Flying Display environment. The MAA recommend all military personnel directly involved in the organization, delivery and oversight of Flying Display activity attend this Symposium.

The first day is comprised of a series of presentations on regulatory changes and key safety related issues facilitated by the regulators and subject matter experts from across the Flying Display community. The second day involves a series of workshops, which are facilitated by experienced personnel from across the flying display community covering a wide range of topics enabling participants to discuss and share experiences and issues that arose during the previous display season. In addition to the formal presentations and discussion, the symposium provides an excellent opportunity for further engagement and networking.

If delegates have any particular questions they would like to be addressed at the symposia, please forward them to the MAA Air Safety Training team prior to the event using the email address: DSA-MAA-AST-Training@mod.gov.uk to enable the detail to be incorporated into the event programme.
