Introduction to Aerobatics

Aerobatic flight is the ultimate expansion of a pilot’s skillset—an opportunity to explore the full performance envelope of an aircraft while developing precision, discipline, and complete situational awareness. Our Introduction to Aerobatics course is designed for pilots of all backgrounds, whether you’re looking to build confidence, prepare for advanced maneuvers, or simply experience the thrill of flying in three dimensions. This course emphasizes safety, progressive learning, and foundational technique, ensuring every pilot gains both competence and appreciation for the art of aerobatics.

Training begins with a thorough briefing on aerodynamics to include energy management, load factors, angle of attack, and unusual attitude recognition. You’ll learn how to properly set up for each maneuver, maintain spatial awareness, and manage G-forces throughout the sequence. From there, you are introduced to core aerobatic maneuvers such as aileron rolls, loops, hammerheads, Immelmanns, and Cuban eights. Each lesson builds on the last, focusing on smooth control inputs, precision entry parameters, and consistent recovery techniques.

Beyond the maneuvers themselves, aerobatic training significantly elevates your confidence and handling skills in any aircraft you fly. Pilots who complete the course consistently report sharper stick-and-rudder control, stronger upset recovery instincts, and a deeper understanding of aircraft performance and limitations. Whether you’re pursuing competition aerobatics, preparing for advanced flight training, or simply seeking a new challenge, this introduction provides a safe, structured, and exhilarating path into the world of aerobatic flight.
