Safety Comes First
Please do not film, stage, or imply anything unsafe, illegal, reckless, or misleading.
This includes:
-
touching aircraft controls without permission
-
walking near the propeller or engine area
-
entering the apron without escort
-
filming restricted areas, airport staff, or other aircraft without approval
-
suggesting that flying is casual, uncontrolled, or risk-free
Respect Aviation & National Security Rules
Light aviation in China is a special privilege and operates under strict aviation, airport, and national security requirements.
Please keep your content respectful, accurate, and professional. Do not film or post anything involving restricted airport areas, operational procedures, security facilities, military-related activity, or anything that may create misunderstanding about aviation safety or airport operations.
Recommended Tone
Your content may be fun, cinematic, stylish, and personal — but it should still show that flying is handled professionally, safely, and under HKPAPA supervision.
Important Notice
All flying, filming, routing, camera setup, aircraft availability, and schedules are subject to weather, safety, aircraft serviceability, airport control, operational constraints, and HKPAPA’s final decision. Safety always comes first.
