Certainly a DA is needed for public events.
As I understand it, it is not needed for private events (i.e. no publicity or paying public) or for the likes of aerobatic competitions

There is a display team as well as the school based at The Weald ISTR

Ah thanks for that, so you do need to be authorised to display in public.
That’s what I was wondering.
I imagine it’s those Yaks that are often to be seen flying over Hanningfield ?

There are no formal qualifications for formation flying, but it will take several hours of good quality training to get up to a good standard and be comfortable with it (I wouldn’t go so far as to say relaxed).
Andy Hill at North Weald does quite a few very good formation training sessions, mostly around Yaks and RVs and has a lot of good ex-service coaches who do it mostly for the fun of it.
To get your display authorisation, you have to do a test with one of the senior examiners, like Peter Kinsey. That will set out clearly the limits of what you’re allowed to do in front of the paying public. I believe the authorisation lasts for one year from the test.

Thank you, that seems a pretty comprehensive document.
The section on Display Flying being the most interesting. As the parts preceding that
are mostly concerned with H & S, and risk assessment.

I’m honestly not totally certain. But I will try and establish it.
In the meantime you may find this an interesting read.

Sorry, my mistake.
Perhaps the mods can move it, or if it’s duplicating something which has already been commented on, delete it.

Indeed so.
This isn’t where the pilots are to be found.

Shouldn’t the thread be in General Aviation anyway? Or possibly Historic. But not here……

Dont think anyone wants to talk about this at the moment they are all too caught up in historic section at the mo.

I’ll tell you how it is; fake – very fake but cool all the same. Love the EZY319’s 😎
