	uin	HL5946
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/03/2017 answer text <p>The Military Aviation Authority (MAA) regulates the flying activity of the Red Arrows (Royal Air Force Aerobatic Team (RAFAT)). There are circumstances where military display flying may be required to abide by additional restrictions imposed by those responsible for organising or directing flying displays. The MAA has no plans to restrict RAFAT to display flying exclusively over Ministry of Defence occupied land; however, all flying display venues are subject to a risk assessment conducted by both the event organiser and the Duty Holder responsible for RAFAT to ensure that it is appropriate for the flying display activity to take place.</p> answering member printed Earl Howe question first answered 23/03/2017 17:01:05 answering member 2000 label Biography information for Earl Howe
