Your details

Use the exact aircraft and fitted configuration. This checker does not determine whether a particular flight is permitted.

What you will get

A bounded answer and the next checks

We separate current law, official guidance, transition arrangements and future changes. Missing exact evidence produces a recheck, not a guess.

Why the result is bounded

The checker uses current, reviewed facts and exposes the next checks. It does not infer a product fact that you have not supplied and cannot establish permission for a particular flight.
