Why do you want to learn basic aerobatic flight techniques?
Aerobatics in an open cockpit biplane is as real as it gets! You will love it.
Learning to fly Aerobatics is extremely fun, will improve your flying skills and boost overall confidence. Until you feel and experience these abnormal maneuvers, you can’t say for sure how you will react in an upset situation either from turbulence or some other emergency. As a professional pilot, aerobatics experience should be included in ‘Pilot-Tool kit’.
What are the basic Aerobatic Maneuvers?
Aerobatics or ‘Acro’ are maneuvers that exceed 40 degrees pitch up or down and 60 degrees angle of bank. The most common aerobatic maneuvers we teach are steep turns, wing overs, aileron rolls, barrel rolls, loops, spins and hammer heads. These maneuvers are the building blocks of all the other types of aerobatic maneuvers. Learning the basics will improve your flying skills, situation awareness in unusual attitudes and give you the confidence to recovery from anything.
How do you get started and what can you expect from Aerobatic Training?
Getting started is super easy! Just call, email or text us and we will schedule you with one of our instructors based on your availability. Contact us HERE. Depending on your availability, experiences and goals we will tailor an aerobatic program just for you. You can expect training at our vintage aviation hangar at Montgomery Field where we work on the maneuvers on the ground with you, teach you about safety items such as parachutes and the basics of flying our aircraft. After the 1-2 hour ground training, we will strap you in our open cockpit biplane or citabria for aerobatic training. We use the ‘demonstrate, then do’ approach, so you will be able to learn most efficiently. Click Here for What to Expect in Aerobatic Training!
