Air displays can be dangerous and whilst the webmaster, Jersey International Air Display A.R.L. and the Royal Air Force Association (Jersey) Branch want you all to have a thrilling and exciting Air Display your safety is of paramount importance.
Please read and take notice of the following safety notices:
Do not view the Air Display from the following areas: -
1. The Beach between La Fregate Café and the la Haule Slipway.
The Beach will have been marked with buoys and other markers for the Display Pilots to line up on to keep adequate safety distances from the designated crowd areas behind the sea wall along Victoria Avenue. Helicopters and the Harrier GR7 will also be hovering over the beach and you could be injured by downwash or jet exhausts.
2. From a Boat between La Fregate Café and the la Haule Slipway.
As explained above, the display line will have been identified with buoys and other markers for the Display Pilots to line up on to keep adequate safety distances from the designated crowd areas. No vessel should be closer than 230 metres to this line at any time. Please observe all local marine restrictions as ordered by the Harbour Master. Helicopters and/ or the Harrier GR7 may also be hovering over the sea and you could be injured by downwash or jet exhausts.
Helicopter Static Display in Peoples Park: -
1. Due to the downwash caused by helicopter rotor blades it is extreamly dangerous to stand too close to these aircraft when they are taking off or landing. The downwash can cause grass, dirt, stones and other debris to be thrown considerable distances. The larger the helicopter, the larger the downwash, and consequently the greater the threat of injury from flying debris.
2. Most of the Helicopters taking part in the Display have tail rotors. These are a great hazard due to their high rotation speed and close proximity to the ground. Stay well clear!
3. Please observe all safety notices, remain behind safety barriers and obey all instuctions from the RAFA Air Display Marshals, Air/ Ground crew and the Police.
Static Display at Jersey Airport: -
1. Stay behind all metal, rope and tape barriers and do not enter the Airport Apron.
2. Do not stand behind any stand where an aircraft is manouvering, starting or refuelling. If an engine is running stay well clear of the jet exhausts.
3. Do not Smoke or throw any litter on the ground.
4. Parents should ensure that their children are kept under control at all times.
5. Please take care when entering/ exiting the Airport Busses and obey all instruction from the driver.
