Getting started in
competition aerobatics can be a daunting affair, we know. We also know
that this task is easily simplified by
being able to talk to someone who knows the ropes, as in "been there,
done that".
There's quite a lot to get together for your first show
in the aerobatic competition box, most of it second nature to a 'Buddy' who
will be genuinely
pleased to answer your questions, dish out practical advice and help
with the administrative bits and pieces, so that you can concentrate on
the fun bit - flying the aeroplane.
The people here (click on the little photo / name
/ number on the map for more information) are active or past
competition pilots willing and able to help you get going in those early
BAeA events. Pick any one, preferably suitable in relation to where you fly from, and start from
there. Just one telephone call or email will put you in touch
with a wealth of information, and help to ensure that the path to
that all-important first competition is clear and easy to
understand.
Whether you're a power or a
glider pilot you can find further information about the
Aresti notation we use to
write down the sequences, the
Known Sequences
themselves, the all-important
Judging criteria, our Contest
Rules, the
BAeA Pilots Proficiency Card,
how get and to use the appropriate
CIVA Catalogue - and all
sorts of other aerobatic competition related material by looking
around this extensive website. Most of the BAeA way doing things
is explained here in some detail, but if you can't see what you're looking for
then either contact your local Buddy or drop an email to the
Head of Contest, Judging Supervisor or the Chairman - you'll
find all the
email addresses on the Officers
page and you can see who specifically does what at competitions
on the committee
responsibilities page. |
