We are highly experienced and certified to perform Air Boss duties for Standard Airshows anywhere in the USA.

What is an AIR BOSS why is one needed for an Air Show?

An air show is defined by the FAA in Order 8900.1, Change 87, Volume 3, Chapter 6, Paragraph 3-143 A. (5) as, “An aviation event defined as an aerial demonstration by one or more aircraft, Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS), rocket, parachutist or ultralight vehicle before an invited assembly of persons. A rocket launch, parachute or UAS (civil or public) demonstration held in conjunction with an air show must be issued a Certificate of Waiver.”

Why hire an FAA authorized AIR BOSS for your upcoming Air Show & Aviation Event?

The FAA requires that all airshows and aviation spectator events have an FAA Authorized Air Boss.

OWNER | HEWISON AVIATION

Being involved with the aviation community is a dream come true! Since I was young, flying with my dad and meeting pilots at the airport, I always enjoyed our flying experiences together and couldn’t wait for the next time we got to go “up.” Now I get to share my love of aviation and participate in air shows around the USA!

Email Chris Hewison at chris.h@hewisonaviation.com for more information, a proposal, or consulting with your aviation event.

AIR BOSS Certificate of Waiver (COW) from FAA

If you plan to hold an event with aircraft, drones, or parachutist(s), then you likely need an FAA Authorized Air Boss and a Certificate of Waiver from the FAA to conduct your event. We can help with this and many aspects of planning and executing an air show and obtaining your CoW.
