Instructors Seminar

Wellesbourne Mountford  23-24th May 2012
Entry deadline - 21st May 2012

Purpose

Introduction To Competition Aerobatics – Theory And Practice
A seminar and training event for Aerobatic Instructors

Maximum of 12 participants

Who should attend

The seminar is designed for Flying Instructors who are authorised by the CAA to give aerobatic instruction, especially those who are not familiar with competition aerobatics.
The purpose is to explain what is involved with competition flying and show how BAeA competitions provide a structured and progressive path to developing aerobatic skills in a safe and supportive environment. Participation in competitions provides an excellent development route for pilots who have completed an AOPA Aerobatics Certificate and wish to continue learning more about aerobatics.
Two seat aerobatic trainer aircraft will be available for hire, with experienced competition pilots/ instructors. Anticipated cost is £150 per hour including the safety pilot/instructor. The organisers will try to make a range of aerobatic aircraft available for hire, including the possibility of Robin 2160, Extra 300, Pitts S2A, Aerobat, Slingsby T67. Pilots who wish to fly their own two seat aircraft must be accompanied by a BAeA safety pilot. Participants may not enter in single seat aircraft.
