New FAST Airshow Operations
Formation operations in waivered airspace at airshows or other aviation events includes some new training and operational restrictions in 2017. Review the new FAST Airshow Operations guide in the FAST section of the CJAA website for all the details.
The Air Show Operations Appendix F was written to help provide FAST pilots with the knowledge and background information needed to operate safely within the air show environment where a Certificate of Waiver (CoW) is in effect. Although it is a comprehensive learning tool, it is not intended to be the only source of information. Much of the material in this document is taken from FAA Order 8900.1, Volume 3, Chapter 6.
Each FAST pilot operating under a CoW must have been evaluated and have demonstrated both a knowledge of air show procedures, and in-flight formation competency to meet the standards.
