Services:


The Air Boss is the professional hired to direct and manage the airshow. The FAA defines the Air Boss as the individual who has the primary responsibility for airshow operations on the active taxiways, runways, and the surrounding airshow demonstration area. In addition, the ICAS organization adds the additional responsibility of safety preparation and presentation on a daily basis.  


We offer the following services:

  • Assess the airspace and coordinate with local FAA governing authority,
  • Work with the FAA Flight Standards Office and with local police, fire and safety forces to conduct a safe aviation event.
  • Conduct safety briefings delivered each day to all performers, support teams and volunteer leads.
