The organizers
Roskilde Airshow is organized by Roskilde Airshow Club. Any profit from the show will be used to encourage the interest for flying and education of private pilots.

Weather conditions
An important factor at an airshow is the weather. A part from the general rules for aerobatic flying which is 8 km visibility and 900 m ceiling, the different airshow teams have their own minimas for visibility and ceiling, which must be present to carry out the air display. As organizer we are unfortunately not incharge of the weather conditions but in the many years that Roskilde Airshow has been held, we have been able to carry out the airshow every year.

Safety
As with all other aviation matters safety at an airshow is high. In the "Rules and Regulations for aviation" there are specific rules for getting through an airshow. There must be one person who is responsible towards the authorities. There most be ambulance and search and rescue. The aircraft may not overfly the aera of the spectators and the distance must be at least 150 m. A part for the rules and regulations set by the authorties, the organizers of Roskilde Airshow has in close co-operation with Roskilde Airport set rules for communication if an accident should happen. Instructions for the spectators can be found in the programme for the airshow an on posters.
