The overflight operation will be carried out by a twin-engine helicopter and should last 1h45, between 19h30 and 21h15. The aircraft will climb to a maximum altitude of 4,900 feet (1,493 m) in a work area located between Swan Island, the National Assembly, the Necker Hospital and the Blomet pool.

Since 1948, flying over the capital below 2,000 m is prohibited and therefore systematically subject to authorization. This prize is intended to reward an action undertaken between a military and civilian organization (a school, a local authority or an association) within the framework of the link armed nation.
