Mission Log

This page includes a high-level summary of missions flown by Civil Air Support crews* and is intended to provide an indication of the volume and types of activies in which we are engaged.

It is important to bear in mind that all Civil Air Support members are volunteers and all flights are private. Members may not be ‘tasked‘ by Civil Air Support to undertake any mission, they may only be ‘asked‘. All flights are conducted at the discretion of the Pilot In Command (PIC), and he/she assumes responsibility for every aspect of the flight.

*Some flights are excluded from this log for reasons of sensitivity, security and (in some cases) at the request of partner organisations, agencies or family members.
