Basic Aerobatics
Our basic aerobatic course includes stalls and upset/unusual attitude recoveries; followed by introduction to, and instruction in, safe execution of aileron rolls, loops, half Cuban eights, hammerheads and barrel rolls. This syllabus typically requires 4-5 flights plus ground training but may be tailored to the students experience and needs.
