(1) Place an "X" in the appropriate box or boxes.
(2) Other: A sponsor seldom needs to fill in this block. However, the following is an example of how the "Other" block might prove useful. In one event, the sponsor had a helicopter and pilot continually ready for emergency transportation of spectators or performers who might be injured on the airport or who may become ill during the event. Additionally, a military-trained firefighter and a medic were standing by the helicopter with extinguishers in case an aircraft had an accident anywhere in the operating area. In this particular case, by describing this "Other" emergency facility, the applicant could have been relieved of having to show anything in the preceding blocks.
1. Item 13, Air Traffic Control. Describe the method or methods of radio communication frequencies and/or the prearranged ground-to-air signals to be used during the aviation event. A description of the ground-to-air recall signal must also be included.
m. Item 14, Schedule of Events. List the performers in the order that they will appear. (See paragraph 19 this AC for more detail.)
n. Item 15, Certification. The applicant must sign in this block and on each page of the application.

Airplanes which operate at speeds of less than 156 knots shall perform no closer than 500 feet horizontally from a spectator area.
Airplanes which operate at speeds of more than 156 knots, but less than 245 knots, shall perform no closer than (safety line distances will be inserted by the FAA FSDO) horizontally from a spectator area. The showline is (geographic description, i.e., runway edge, runway centerline, etc., will be inserted by the FAA FSDO).
j. Airplanes which operate at speeds of more than 245 knots, and turbojet airplanes, shall perform no closer than (safety line distances will be inserted by the FAA FSDO) horizontally from a spectator area. The showline is (the FAA FSDO will place geographic description in this space).
k. Helicopters may perform aerobatic maneuvers no closer than 1,000 feet horizontally from a spectator area.
These maneuvers are described as a 90° pitch down, split "S," loop, and barrel roll. Performers proposing to use these maneuvers in an airshow must produce evidence of approval by AFS-20.
Helicopters may perform agility maneuvers no closer than 500 feet horizontally from a spectator area.
These maneuvers are described as pedal turns, sideward and rearward flight maneuvers, out-of-ground effect hovering, and turns not exceeding 90° of bank.
Helicopters performing aerobatic maneuvers shall have a valid and current special airworthiness certificate issued in the experimental category for the purpose of exhibition. Nothing contained in these general provisions shall contravene any operating or special limitation issued as a part of that special airworthiness certificate.

p. A physical barrier and adequate policing shall be provided to confine the spectators to designated areas.
The number of personnel involved in crowd control will depend on the type of barrier. (More people will be required for a rope barrier than for a snow fence.)

Only those persons necessary to support the operation should be authorized in the operating area. The holder of the FAA Form 7711-1 assumes responsibility for persons that enter the operations area.
I. The FAA has the authority to cancel or delete any or all acts or events if, in its opinion, the safety of persons or property on the ground or in the air is in jeopardy, or there is a contravention of the terms of the waiver.
S. Aircraft engines shall not be started and aircraft will not be taxied in designated spectator areas or static display areas unless adequate measures are taken to protect the spectators. Areas where engines, propellers, or rotors will be turning must be at least 100 feet from the spectator areas unless they are protected by a barrier that will prevent entry by unauthorized personnel.
t. Persons or aircraft not appearing on the FAA Form 7711-2, and approved on the FAA Form 7711-1, may not participate without specific approval by the FAA.
