Pilots trained in aerobatics are safer pilots by virtue of their knowledge of the adversities of the aircraft and smoother pilots because of improved coordination and feel of the controls. The airplane is designed to rotate around each of its three axes. Isn't it then reasonable to assume that a pilot trained to control the airplane throughout these rotations is a safer pilot?

This course is only ten hours long and will be all dual instruction. It is possible to learn aerobatics by yourself, show more but for various reasons it is definitely not advisable. show less

28 chapters on aerobatic maneuvers…each one thoroughly explained, with a warning about what will probably go wrong as well as what is right.
…ostensibly written for the aerobatic instructor pilot. Cole’s first book “Roll Around a Point” is the primer, Conquest is the second reader for aerobatic students.
