New UK Legislation Restricts Flying Over Sherburn-in-Elmet Air Race
18 February 2025
The Air Navigation (Restriction of Flying) (Sherburn-in-Elmet Air Race) Regulations 2025 have been introduced by the UK government to ensure the safety of the public and participants during the Sherburn-in-Elmet Air Race.
The regulations impose a temporary restriction on flying within a specified airspace over Sherburn-in-Elmet, North Yorkshire, during the race weekend from 10:00 BST on Saturday 12 July 2025 to 18:00 BST on Sunday 13 July 2025.
The airspace subject to the restriction is defined by the following coordinates:
- 53°50’N 01°26’W
- 53°50’N 01°22’W
- 53°47’N 01°22’W
- 53°47’N 01°26’W
Pilots are prohibited from flying within the restricted airspace without the prior permission of the Secretary of State for Transport. Exceptions may be granted for emergency services, military aircraft, and aircraft participating in the air race.
The regulations are necessary to ensure the safety of the public and participants in the air race. The race attracts a large number of spectators and involves low-flying aircraft, which pose a potential hazard to other aircraft and to people on the ground.
The restriction will be enforced by the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA). Pilots who violate the restriction may be prosecuted and fined.
Further information about the Air Navigation (Restriction of Flying) (Sherburn-in-Elmet Air Race) Regulations 2025 is available on the CAA website.
