We have collected a number of articles written by our members and fellow aerobatic pilots from around the world. Covering everything from an introduction to aerobatics, manoeuvres, scoring and advanced theory and principals of flight.
A special thanks to the authors and publishers of these articles for letting us share these with you here!
Aerobatic Sequence Design Part 1
All competition aerobatic events require pilots to fly a ‘sequence’. These sequences are made up of various manoeuvres that must be flown in a particular order. But how are these sequences made? Check out Grant’s latest article explaining exactly this.

The Thrill of Competition Aerobatics
Don’t let the word ‘competition’ deter you from getting involved. If you’ve been following Grant’s articles, you’ll realise that feeling any pressure about flying aerobatics means you’ve got something wrong. Our members just really enjoy flying upside down, sharing knowledge, talking shop and having a laugh. In this episode, Grant explains exactly what happens at our competition events.

Good Aeros Done Bad
Like anything in life, if it can go wrong, it probably will. One blessing in aviation is that the industry goes out of it’s way to calculate and assess every possible risk to make it ‘as safe as practically possible’. Even still, aviation accidents do still happen. In this article, Grant analyses the most common reasons these accidents happen, and the steps we go through to prevent them.
