This introductory course will introduce you to the world of three-dimensional maneuvering. It will give you a chance to see, feel, and fly what it is like to perform airshow maneuvers from a safe altitude. This is a basic course where we stress teaching recoveries from failed maneuvers as well as the maneuvers themself. It is not going to make you an airshow pilot. It is designed as an introduction and basic safety course. Check out a couple videos of maneuvers here.
$1630
Includes Three Hours of ground Instruction and 4.0 hours of flight instruction in our Decathlon. $345 If you would like to test whether aerobatics is for you, we can do the first hour billed separately. |
Day One
1 hour Pre-flight instruction will cover not only basics on flying the Super Decathlon, but how of wear and operate the parachute, and “dry-Stick” the maneuvers to be performed. 1 Hour Flight we will get you used to flying the Super Decathlon then progress to demonstration of the Aileron Roll, Loop, and Wingovers. Following each demonstration, you will get multiple opportunities to fly the maneuvers. We will also make sure you understand and are able to safely exit a maneuver that isn’t performed correctly, recovering to level flight. |
Day Two, Three, and Four
3 More hours of ground instruction and 3 more hours of flight instruction. We will continue to introduce additional maneuvers including Cuban 8, Reverse Cuban 8, Split S, Immelmann, Clover Leaf, and barrel Roll. As with Day one we will make sure you can recover from any extreme unusual attitudes that may result from making mistakes. The objective of this introductory course is to introduce basic aerobatic maneuvers, allow you to become comfortable in all attitudes the airplane is capable of attaining, and making sure you can safely abort any maneuver. |
