| Humpty bumps, sharks teeth, barrel rolls oh my! The world of aerobatics brings an entirely different perspective to flying. For many pilots, training in aerobatics gives them a deeper connection with their aircraft, and a tighter understanding of how their aircraft will perform in pressuring conditions.
Although San Carlos Flight Center does not have any aerobatic aircraft on the flight line, or offer aerobatic training, we have invited the Chief Pilots from Aerodynamic Aviation in San Jose, Jen Watson and Lynzie Hudson, to provide an introduction into the world of aerobatics. In this seminar, they will showcase what to expect on a typical aerobatic flight including the various flight preparations, safety checks, and maneuvers performed during flight along with broadening your understanding of the aerodynamic loads placed on an aircraft during aerobatics. They will also cover the different aircraft categories approved for aerobatic operations, what it takes to fly solo aerobatics, and how to get started. Aerobatic flying is an exhilarating experience, yet not without thorough training and understanding of your aircrafts limitations. Join us to gain an insight into the thrill of flight. |
