Help keep our skies safe

Project Pegasus is a national initiative to protect our skies. We need your help to let us know about any threats to our skies, airfields and the aviation community in Devon and Cornwall.  

When to contact us

If you have witnessed something that makes you suspicious in Devon and Cornwall for example, the unexpected or unusual presence of an aircraft or associated cargo, we want to hear about it. 

A small piece of information that you provide, will help us build a bigger picture of behaviour that might be linked to acts of terrorism, serious crime or threats to our borders such as illegal immigration and smuggling.

How to report suspicious activity

• To report anything suspicious please use our Pegasus online reporting form
• To report anything suspicious telephone 101
• To report a crime in progress or an imminent threat - telephone 999 immediately

 What to look for 

• Are the pilots flying qualifications and identification correct and genuine?
• Are the pilot/crew/passengers behaviour/queries/questions as you would expect them to be or suspicious?
• Are there regular breaches of aviation safety regulations?
• Are there unusual methods of payment or transactions by or between the pilot/passengers/crew?
• Is the aircraft safe and being used legally?
• Is there suspicious or unusual activity by people or vehicles around aircraft?
• Is there incorrect or unusual operation or appearance of the aircraft?
• Is there a deviation from the normal use of the aircraft by the owner or operator?
