Why should pilots do aerobatic training?



Aerobatic training enhances aircraft control, situational awareness, and upset recovery skills. It teaches pilots how to safely handle unusual attitudes, reduces risk of loss-of-control accidents, and builds confidence in all flying scenarios. Please note: Whilst aerobatics is a valuable endorsement for pilots to hold, Upset Prevention and Recovery Training is a completely different skill and knowledge set.
