How
can I Start?
While undergoing training as a student pilot you can request that
aerobatics be incorporated as part of your training. A log book
endorsement can be inserted into your log book by your instructor
who must already be approved to give aerobatic instruction. There
are only 5 basic aerobatic manoeuvres. They are loops, rolls, snap
rolls (flick rolls), stall turns and spins. These may be
individually inserted, but it is a prerequisite that spins be
included prior to any other manoeuvres. All other aerobatic
manoeuvres are combinations of these 5 basic manoeuvres. This will
normally take 5-10 hours. Once you join the club you may then
receive further dual and solo instruction from club coaches and
judges.
Once you have
obtained your basic aerobatic endorsement you will be restricted to performing
manoeuvres above 3000 feet above ground level. Members of the AAC can train for
a Low Level Aerobatic Endorsement/Waiver which permits them to fly their
manoeuvres in certain categories down to lower levels. The minimum level
is 100 metres above ground level.
Contests are held on a regular basis to increase competition experience.
A Judge's Home Study Course is available for pilots and aspiring judges.
