Flying Training

Aerobatics is a great way to improve your flying skills. Beyond the outstanding fun, you will experience during the course, your knowledge of aircraft handling and coordination skills will increase substantially. Think of it as an advanced driving course for pilots.

Aerobatics training is conducted in Citabria, Super Decathlon or the Pitts S2B. It is recommended that you have at least 15 hours of flying experience before starting an aerobatic training course. (Note that this means you may even begin aerobatic flight training before you even hold an RPL or PPL).

If you wish, you may complete the full 15 hours course of training or complete just selected manoeuvres, however, all pilots must be competent in recovery from unusual attitudes and spins.

The flying training syllabus for basic and advanced aerobatic flight training covers the following manoeuvres:

Basic Course – 5 hours from $1,923

  • Wing overs
  • Unusual attitude recovery
  • Spin recovery
  • Loops
  • Barrel roll

Advanced Course – 14 hours from $5,223

  • Basic aerobatic manoeuvres plus
  • Stall turn
  • Slow roll and aileron roll
  • Half roll off the loop
  • And more as your skills progress…

Who knows when you might encounter conditions that invert your aircraft or put you into an unusual attitude? As a first step, you may want to start with our Upset Prevention and Recovery Training (UPRT) which is included as part of all aerobatic training.

Learning aerobatic skills will strengthen your confidence and build your abilities to deal with the unexpected. And the bonus, you will have a lot of fun in the process!
