Aerobatic flying is the practice of performing controlled maneuvers such as loops, rolls, spins, and stall turns. It is a discipline that combines science, precision, and practice, improving pilot control, safety, and confidence.
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.

Common aerobatic training aircraft include the Super Decathlon, Pitts Special, and Extra 300L, all known for their responsive handling and large flight envelopes, which allow pilots to safely practice advanced maneuvers.
Yes. Professional aerobatic training prioritises safety. Experienced instructors guide pilots through structured exercises with gradual progression, emphasising risk management, skill development, and aircraft mastery.
Absolutely. The precision, discipline, and understanding of aerodynamics gained through aerobatics directly translate to safer and more confident flying in all aircraft, including high-performance and commercial planes.
Do I need prior experience to start aerobatic training?
Aerobatic training is suitable for licensed pilots of all experience levels. Instructors tailor the program to your skills, gradually introducing more advanced maneuvers as you progress.
Yes! Beyond improving safety and control, aerobatics offers a unique thrill—experiencing the world inverted and performing precision maneuvers makes it both exciting and rewarding.
