Leuchars: Exercise Kukri Dawn Increase in Day/Night Flying mid Feb to mid March 2026

Exercise Kukri Dawn

Between mid-Feb and mid-Mar ‘26, Military training will take place across Scotland as part of Exercise Kukri Dawn. Activity will be particularly noticeable in areas around Leuchars Station, inc. periods of low-level helicopter flying during the day and at night. The ability to operate effectively at low level is essential for military helicopters in their role supporting troops on the ground. Realistic low-level training in the UK is therefore a vital part of preparing aircrew for operational duties. Military helicopters will avoid overflying horse riders wherever possible, provided riders can be identified in sufficient time and it is safe to do so. Aircrew are trained to identify and avoid potential conflicts however sudden or aggressive manoeuvring close to riders can significantly increase the risk of disturbance. If riders are seen late, helicopters will usually continue on a steady flight path rather than manoeuvre as this is considered the safest option for both riders and aircrew. Local residents, farmers, and equestrian communities may experience increased noise and military activity during this period. While all training is carefully planned and conducted safely, we would like to highlight potential impacts on people, animals, and rural activity.
