commercially available pump fuel dispensed from pumps at filling stations marked in the road-book. 
The fuel supplier must respect the contract signed with the FIA. This fuel will be available at the start of each leg. If 
there are no filling stations on the route of the rally, the organiser may arrange for the distribution of one and the 
same fuel, in conformity with Appendix J, to the non-priority drivers via a centralised system. Such refuelling points 
must respect all the safety conditions. They must be mentioned in the road book and published in an information 
bulletin by the organiser. 
8.2 Cars of priority drivers must be fitted with FIA fuel sample couplings, although the FIA reserves the right to 
check the fuel of any competitor. All competitors are required to fit refuel couplings, except non priority drivers using 
a car which retains the standard tank.

11. ROAD BOOK 
The road book must be made available to all the competitors 30 days before the start of the rally. 

12. RECONNAISSANCE 
The presence of FIA priority drivers and / or their co-drivers on a special stage, in any way whatsoever, is 
considered as reconnaissance. 

12.1 Duration 
12.1.1 Except when a waiver is granted, the reconnaissance for all competitors must take place within the rally 
schedule as outlined in Art 6 of the regulations. Any crew found to be in breach of this rule will be subjected by the 
Stewards to one of the penalties laid down in Article 152 of the Code. Moreover, if the Stewards decide that the 
offence is very serious, they may propose to the ASN of the crew concerned that their licences be suspended for a 
period equivalent to the number of World Rally Championship events for which they may have been suspended. 
Reconnaissance should take place according to a timetable which specifies when competitors may commence 
56 30 March 2005 


2005 World Rally Championship 

their reconnaissance. The Organiser must ensure that each driver does not cover the same special stage more 
than twice and there shall be control marshals at the start and finish of each special stage. Further checks may 
also be carried out during each special stage. 
a) Any P1 driver / co-driver visiting the region of a rally at any time other than for the rally must advise the 
Organiser and the FIA in advance of his/her visit, except where the priority driver / co-driver is known to live in this 
area. 
b) Any competitor testing in the country of a World Championship rally must advise the Organiser in advance 
and specify the names of the drivers who will be testing. Any breach of the above rules a) and b) will entail the 
application of one of the sanctions provided for in Article 152 of the Code, unless there are exceptional 
circumstances. 

12.1.2 Reconnaissance outside the schedule as set by the Organiser is considered a very serious offence and will 
be reported to the Stewards who may apply penalties (see Art. 13.2). Any driver who is currently or who in the last 
two years has been included on the A or B priority list, or any driver designated by the FIA, taking part or intending 
to take part in a rally, who wishes to drive on any road which is or might be used for a special stage in that rally, 
must notify the Organiser beforehand of his intention to do so and must obtain the Organiser' written permission. 
The written permission must forthwith be sent to the FIA. Any failure to respect this rule shall result in the drivers 
being reported to the Stewards who may apply penalties (see Art. 13.2). It is emphasised that reconnaissance is 
not practice. All the Road Traffic Laws of the country in which the rally runs must be strictly adhered to and the 
safety and rights of other road users must be respected. 
12.1.3 Any driver may take part in reconnaissance for a rally with a view to taking part in the following year's 
Championship. The regulations on reconnaissance must be respected in their entirety and the Organiser must be 
informed. 
12.1.4 A system for controlling the speed throughout reconnaissance by means of a GPS must be used on all the 
cars. 
12.1.5 From the end of reconnaissance, any person connected with an entered crew in any way whatsoever is 
forbidden to travel (except on foot) on or over the route of a special stage of the rally without express authorisation 
from the Clerk of the Course. 
12.1.6 Each tyre manufacturer equipping the cars of the manufacturers entered in the World Rally Championship 
may cover one run through the special stages of the rally. 
Each of the cars used for that run must have on board a maximum of two of the tyre manufacturers technicians. 
These technicians are strictly forbidden to have in their possession on board the cars the notes of a crew entered in 
the rally concerned. These cars will be placed under the responsibility of the Clerk of the Course, who may 
designate marshals to ride on board and who will determine the times at which they will run through the special 
stages. 
12.2 Sanctions 
Throughout reconnaissance, the speed limit will be as per the laws currently in force in the country concerned. 
However, the Organiser may determine a speed limit in the special stages. 
All infringements noted will be posted on the official notice board and submitted to the Stewards of the Meeting at 
their first meeting for deliberation and possible sanctions. 
Also, the Stewards are required to consider applying further penalties under Article 152 of the Code and depending 
on the gravity of the offence, may report the competitors concerned to the FIA for possible further sanctions. 
In any case, the Organiser must forward to the FIA the names of each competitor and driver committing an offence, 
in order to monitor regular offenders. 


13. SHAKEDOWN AND TESTING 
13.1 Shakedown 
For a given car, the engine, the complete transmission and the mechanical parts mentioned in Article 12 of the 
present regulations must be sealed (for that car). 
According to the timetable of a rally (Article 6), a shakedown stage must be organised on a road surface 
representative of the rally. 
The shakedown stage must be organised as if it were a stage run during the rally and incorporate all the safety 
measures as detailed in Appendix IV of the General Prescriptions. Save in case of force majeure, the participation 
of all P1 crews and their cars is obligatory. 
Any person on board the car during shakedown who is not entered for the rally must have signed a disclaimer 
provided by the Organiser.

However, where requested by the commercial rights holder, the Organiser may establish On-Board Camera (OBC) 
tape exchange points within road sections of the itinerary. Such points should be included in the road book or 
notified by a bulletin and be restricted to access by FIA accredited media and TV crews solely for the exchange of
video tapes, adjustment of camera equipment or conducting interviews. Additional time may be permitted for this
within the itinerary. 
Access for carrying out this same work is also permitted in the media zone when queuing to enter a service area
and in regroups or parcs ferms when in the presence of a member of the team. 
15.3.3 Any manoeuvre or action in breach of the present measures will result in the application of the penalties set

Media Safety Book 

Rally Guide 1 and Rally Guide 2 contain a large media section and replace the previous Media Guide. There is 
however need for a safety guide specifically for the media. The recommended content of this book is listed below. 

In order to best prepare this book, the organiser should: 

1) 
Invite an FIA photographer and / or an ISC cameraman to inspect the special stages together with the National 
Press Officer and the Safety Officer as soon as the rally route is decided. 

2) 
Together they should identify within each stage a number of areas for use by photographers. 

3) 
These photo areas should be described on paper, with diagrams for each location indicating in detail: 

the SS number and length
the SS road closing time for media 
the SS starting time for the first car 
the roadbook reference and ideally GPS reference 
the photo areas 
the spectator areas 
the media parking 
the access roads 
the distance, on the SS road, of the photo areas from the SS start 
the safety taping. 


4) 
All the proposed diagrams should be approved by the FIA Safety Delegate. 

5) 
The approved diagrams will form one section of the Media Safety Book. 

6) 
The book should also include: 

The identification and handling of the media as indicated on page 6 of the FIA Bulletin No 329, April 1997. 

The written description of where tabard holders may access and what kind of actions he / she may 
perform. 

Example (if we consider danger increasing from Category 1 to Category 3): 

In the case of Category 1 and Category 2, the tabard holders could be allowed immediately in front of 
the tape / marker identifying the points beyond which spectators should not pass. 

They should be allowed to walk along the tape / marker boundary, to walk from one point of the stage 
to another and / or cross the stage during the intervals between the passage of the rally cars. 

In the case of Category 3, special photographers areas should be provided for the use of tabard 
holders only, either as a taped corridor immediately in front of the spectator areas, or as a separate 
zone, properly taped, signed and with restricted access. It is strongly recommended that each 
Category 3 location is attended by a media marshal, especially briefed on media needs, duties and 
rights. 

The FIA Media Delegate is available to help the organisers in the publication of the Media Safety 
Book, which should then be distributed to all tabard holders and to all relevant safety personnel.

Introduction 

The purpose of establishing standard helicopter regulations for FIA World Rally Championship events, is to 
create a safe flying environment for all helicopters flying in support of the Championship. 

In particular it is necessary to prioritise the role of FIA safety and medical helicopters. 

Each Organiser is asked to appoint a "Helicopter Co-ordinator". The FIA can advise who to contact with the 
necessary international experience. 

The Role of Helicopter Co-ordinator 

1) In co-operation with the national aviation authority, (where appropriate) and for the purpose of flight safety, the 
co-ordinator will arrange appropriate restricted and/or Notam airspace designations for the duration of the event. 
Only helicopters registered with the rally organisers will be permitted to fly within such airspace. 

2) In conjunction with a local operator or pilot, the co-ordinator will conduct the pilots briefing the day before the 
Rally. All helicopter pilots will be provided with details of the procedures to be followed, radio frequencies and 

75 30 March 2005 


2005 World Rally Championship 

other aviation related items. A list of helicopters and pilots will be provided to each participant, so that an
atmosphere of comradeship and therefore accountability will be established. 


3) To provide operational details to registered helicopter pilots before, or at, the pilots briefing. It is anticipated 
that all administration and communication will be by e-mail. 
4) To arrange, where appropriate, an air traffic radio service for Rally helicopters. 


5) To create, and evolve a set of flight safety rules for helicopter flying during WRC events. A draft of the
proposed Rally Helicopter Flying Rules is attached at Appendix 1. 


Recommended action of the Rally Organiser 

1) To state in all information issued by the Rally organiser that " in compliance with FIA safety regulations, and 
the local Air Traffic Authority, every helicopter flying in support of the rally must be registered with the 
organisers." 

2) To issue a Standard Form (proposed format at Appendix 9) for helicopter registration. 

3) To assist and support the FIA and ISC in arrangements with their National Aviation Authority, and to support 
requests for radio frequencies, restricted airspace, landing permissions etc. 

4) To identify suitable helicopter landing sites at the Rally service areas, and on Rally special stages with GPS 
position. 

5) To identify the location of hospitals with helicopter landing sites by map, with photographs and GPS position. 

6) To provide a suitable room at Rally HQ to conduct the helicopter pilots briefing, usually the day before the start 
of the Rally. 

Appendix 1 

Proposed Rally Helicopter Flight Safety rules 

The following is a draft of the proposed rules to be provided to pilots: 


There are (nn) registered helicopters flying during the rally. A list is attached. 
All radio communications will be in English. 
The tasks of the helicopters vary in importance. The highest priority is to be given to helicopters operated by the 
FIA and the event organiser for the purpose of Spectator safety and medical emergencies. 
Most of the remaining helicopters will be flying passengers from the service areas to vantage points in the stages
in order to watch the first 15 or so cars, and then return to the service areas. These helicopters are not permitted 
to follow the cars. 
By contrast ISC will be operating at least one Wescam helicopter which will be following cars at low level along 
the stages for filming purposes. 
The big danger for all pilots is collision with another helicopter, especially in difficult weather conditions
All helicopters registered to fly during the Rally will be provided with an identification placard, which must be 
attached to the helicopter. 
If you meet the pilot of an unregistered helicopter, give him a copy of these rules, and report the details to the
WRC helicopter co-ordinator. An unregistered helicopter means the pilot has not been briefed and could
prejudice the safety of everyone. 
(if appropriate). The special stages and service areas of the Rally have been designated as restricted airspace. 
Only registered helicopters may fly within this airspace during the Rally. 


76 30 March 2005 


2005 World Rally Championship 

To prevent collisions, and for flight safety, please follow these simple rules. 

1. Priorities: Except when normal national flying rules apply, helicopter pilots are to give priority to other 
helicopters in the following order of importance: 
a. The FIA, operating a spectator safety helicopter and a technical helicopter 
b. The local Emergency Medical Services 
c. The local police and other security agencies 
d. Wescam equipped helicopters filming the stages. 
In case of a Rally incident, b) and c) would have priority. 
2. Approaching service areas, call on the notified frequency at least 2 minutes out, stating from which direction 
you are arriving, and call again on final approach. 
3. Call before lifting from the service area. 
4. Self announce your intentions to "Rally Traffic" on (insert radio frequency) before landing and take off in the 
special stages. Identify yourself by helicopter number. 
5. The Wescam TV helicopter, will announce its presence on stages when following cars at low level. 
6. If flying within 1000 ft of a rally stage, fly only in the direction of the stage. Minimum height above stage is 500 
agl. If crossing a stage, try to do so at right angles, and at least 1000ft agl. Try to land at least 100m away from 
the stage. If landing/taking off within 100m of a live stage, only to do so after a competing car has just passed, 
and fly away from the stage, so as not to distract the competitor. Do not attempt to follow a competing car by 
helicopter under any circumstances. 
7. Be aware that the Wescam TV helicopter will often follow the leading cars over the same stretch of special 
stage, at very low level. 
8. Ensure you know the start time of each stage, and be on the ground by then. Understand the 2 minute and 
one minute car interval schedule. 
9. Near stages and service areas have your landing light on. 
10. In the event of a Rally incident, the medical helicopter may need your landing place if there is nowhere else to 
land in the stage. Ensure the pilot remains with the helicopter and be ready to move if need be. 
11. Do not fly too close to the public. (quote national rules) 
12. Quote national weather limitation flying rules. 
Appendix 2 

Helicopter Numbering system 

Each Helicopter will be given a number to clearly identify it. Numbers allocated have nothing to do with the level 
of priority of helicopters.

Medivac: When Medivac comes in, it has absolute priority. 

Identification markings for attachment to helicopters will be provided, and are to be fixed to each helicopter as 
directed. 

Appendix 3 

Helicopter landing area at Service Areas 

Only helicopters registered with the organisers of the Rally will be permitted to land at the service areas or other 
WRC sites. 

The layout of the helicopter landing area, and the rules for landing, will vary according to the space available. 

There should always be space for the FIA, Organisers, ISC and Team helicopters (the Primary helicopters) to 
land either next to or within 1km of the service area (the Primary landing site). If necessary other (public) 
helicopters will be allocated a landing site at a different location. Public helicopters may however be permitted to 
land at the primary landing site to drop off or pick up passengers, provided their stay is momentary, and the 
engine is not shut down. 

Layout of the Primary area 

Landing spots will be established for each Primary helicopter. The most convenient spot will be allocated to 
helicopter 1, and progress numerically. The Teams will be allocated the same number for the year, depending 
upon their place in the Manufacturers championship in the previous year. 

Example: 

Service Area Heli 1 Heli 2 Heli 3 Heli 4 etc. 

Fire cover and fuel provision will be arranged and compliance with local laws and regulations respected. 

Appendix 4 

Special Stage Landing Areas 

The long term goal will be to establish a list of suitable and safe helicopter landing sites for all registered 
helicopters within walking distance of special stages, and obtain the proper permissions for use etc. 

At some events, e.g. Finland, this has already been done by the organisers, and marked on a special map, 
together with GPS positions. 

At others, each pilot currently finds a landing site as best he can. 

It is proposed that the helicopter co-ordinator will, in conjunction with the event organiser, carry out a 
reconnaissance and establish suitable sites in order to provide a map and details to all pilots. This facility may 
not be available on all events in the first year of operation. 

78 30 March 2005 


2005 World Rally Championship 

Appendix 5 

Radio Procedures 

Radio Procedures will be established for arrival and departure from the Service Areas and the Rally Special
Stages. 


A ground radio station will be established at busy Service Areas to enhance flight safety, especially as to landing
positions and parking of helicopters. 


Helicopters will be required to call this station before landing and take off at service areas, identifying themselves
by helicopter number, and will receive flight safety information. 


Approaching a service area, helicopters should call at least 2 minutes out, stating from which direction they are 
arriving, and call again on final approach. 


Helicopters will call before lifting from a service area, and announce when 30 seconds away, so other pilots know
it is safe to lift.
Approaching a Special Stage, Helicopters will announce their intentions to "Rally Traffic" before landing and take
off at special stages, referring to their helicopter number. 


The Wescam TV helicopter will self-announce when following cars at low level. 


Appendix 6 

Briefings for Pilots 

An important element of the safety and consistency of helicopter operations during WRC events will be the 
Helicopter Pilots Briefing. The organisers will be asked to provide a suitable room with theatre style seating and 
screen facilities. 

The briefing will be conducted in English and the local language. 

A standard presentation format will be established, which will include the following: 

Overview of the WRC, the Rally, special stage organisation and competitor running intervals 
Times and location of stages 
Take off and landing procedures 
Local aviation regulations 
Rally flying rules 
Rally Radio procedures 
Service Area landing site procedures and priorities 
Distribution of identification stickers 
Fuel provision arrangements 
Details of all helicopters and pilots mobile telephone numbers 
Details of hospital sites. 

During the course of next year, ISC intend to make weather information available at the service area through the 
network TV system.
