Flying Training
You will learn how to handle the aircraft safely through loops, stall turns, half cubans and rolls, progressing to a sequence combining all the manoeuvres you have learnt. Our aerobatics course is compliant with the AOPA basic aerobatics course and will also provide the necessary requirements for the UK CAA aerobatics rating. There is no formal test on completion of the training.
If you’re not sure whether aerobatics is for you, why not start your tailwheel training on the Citabria and your instructor can give you a taster of some aerobatics at the end of each flight to build up your aerobatics stamina slowly.
