AEROBATIC

AEROBATIC FLYING consists of performing atypical maneuvers using attitudes and speed changes that are different from those of a normal flight.

In addition to improving handling precision, aerobatic flying allows pilots to gain confidence and master the techniques used to avoid and recover from unusual attitudes. Aerobatics will likely be one of the most stimulating and rewarding experiences of your pilot training.

In Canada, there is no defined aerobatics rating. In other words, a person holding a valid Private Pilot’s licence flying solo in an aerobatic certified aircraft may practice aerobatic maneuvers so long as they respect all flight rules in regards to visibility and altitude requirements.

However, it is very strongly recommended to take lessons and advice from a qualified person or instructor with prior experience on the type of aircraft and with the type of maneuvers to be performed.

The prerequisites to become an aerobatic instructor are a valid Commercial Pilot’s licence (CPL) or an Airline Pilot’s Licence (ATPL). Ground and in-flight training will be given to the student to learn how to teach aerobatics. At the end of the training, students must successfully pass a flight test (a written test is also required to obtain the Class 1) to obtain the aerobatic instructor rating.
