Frequently Asked Questions about Aerobatics:

Q: Is there a special Pilot's License or "rating" needed to fly aerobatics?

A: No. A Private Pilot certificate is all that is required to fly solo aerobatics. With the exception of
airshow flying, the FAA does not regulate aerobatic competency; however, it is the pilot's
responsibility to get the dual instruction required to fly safely. There are no special requirements
to be an aerobatic student pilot other than good health.

Q: Isn't it dangerous?

A: No more so than other types of general aviation activities. Aerobatics is not
"stunt flying". Safety is the prime objective in aerobatic instruction. The International
Aerobatic Club (IAC), who sanctions aerobatic competitions, has maintained a perfect safety
record for more than 25 years.

Q: Will we wear parachutes?

A: Yes, it's a requirement by the FAA (FAR 91.307). We have both chair-pack style and seat-pack style available to assure the best cockpit fit.

Q: Will I get airsick?

A: Probably not. Most people find that if they're busy flying the airplane, they won't get queasy. Whether you're flying a structured lesson or just a ride, we encourage you to do as much of the flying as possible.

Q: Can you recommend any good books or tapes on the subject?

A: "Fly for Fun" by Bill Thomas and "Basic Aerobatics" by Szurovy & Goulian are helpful books. An excellent video is "Aerobatics: Flying the Maneuvers" featuring Clint McHenry, produced by the EAA. All are available from the IAC at 800-843-3612.
