Civil Air Support

Civil Air Support (CAS) is the largest charitable air support organisation in Europe with around 110 members, together with a fleet of privately-owned aircraft that includes light aeroplanes, light helicopters, autogyros plus unmanned aerial vehicles. All 

Civil Air Support  members are volunteers and all flights are private. Members are either pilots, observers or operate in a supporting role. The primary mission of Civil Air Support is to provide voluntary air support to safeguard communities and the environment.

All Civil Air Support activity is strictly humanitarian. Assistance sorties or ground support are intended purely to benefit the community, including the preservation of the environment. Any direct advantage gained by a particular agency from a Civil Air Support mission is incidental; the principal motivation of Civil Air Support is to provide community relief through occasional complementary air support for those who would otherwise have no access to it.
