The aerobatic instructor’s guide

The qualification of aerobatic instructor is issued solely based on experience and therefore without prior training.  It is therefore difficult for young instructors to perform well immediately in the difficult role of aerobatic tuition.

To overcome this major inconvenience, this guide offers a complete pedagogical framework, from positive aerobatic instruction all the way to teaching freestyle figures with a list of frequently seen mistakes and traps for each figure.  It presents also a certain number of theoretical presentations, in particular the use of the wing-sight, the specific role of the ground controller and French and European regulations.  Reading this work will therefore allow delivery of complete, good quality tuition for all levels.

This guide will also be useful for the young aerobatic pilot, as it will provide them with precious information on the different stages of training of this rich discipline that is aerobatics.
