The Air Accidents Investigation Branch (AAIB) has not yet published its final report. The majority of recommendations in the AAIB's latest bulletin cover areas where the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) has already taken action as part of its ongoing review of air display safety, which it established immediately after the Shoreham accident.

The CAA is now reviewing the AAIB's bulletin in detail and will consider all of its recommendations carefully, alongside its ongoing air show review which is expected to be completed in the coming weeks.
