Flight Training
Up About Rob Mixon Publications Coaching

A combination course of basic aerobatics with your pre-solo flight training is now available!

In six hours, beginning with your first hour of flight, it may be possible for you to accomplish your solo flight plus Loops, Rolls, Spins, Cuban Eights, and other aerobatic maneuvers combining them into a sequence similar to the sequence that aerobatic competition pilots fly! This course was used successfully with Felix Verala High School in Miami, Florida with their WINGS program! The first word from each student after their first one turn spin during their first hour of flight was, "AWESOME!"

Just say you would like the Pre-solo/Aerobatic Course. Aerobatic training is available to make you a better pilot even if you hold an Airline Transport Pilot Certificate....Oh, yes, all training is available in a tail wheel Citabria (airbatic spelled backwards) airplane. The tail wheel configuration makes you a better pilot through the required directional control on the ground and responsive feel in flight contrary to most fight schools using tricycle gear aircraft.

About Aerobatics

It's probably harder to get out of aerobatics than it is to get into.  Loops, rolls, and spins can be habit-forming!  Hammerheads, Cuban 8's, and snap rolls are addicting!

Your first encounter with these or any aerobatic maneuvers could produce a wide range of reactions.  As people get used to unusual attitudes, however, the exhilaration and fun begins to dominate, gradually influenced by a determination to make loops a more perfect circle, the rolls more true, and to predetermine the exit points of a spin.

Control is what everyone, from World Champion competitors to air show heroes are looking for.  Practice produces control.  The attitude that guides control is what separates reckless fools from aerobatic artists.  Aerobatics is not a sport for daredevils.  It is for sensible pilots who seek proficiency and enjoy the process.  They understand their machine and its limitations, as well as their own personal limitations.

The International Aerobatic Club maintains a list of schools and instructors.  This can be obtained free of charge.  Check out items like the instructor's qualifications, the airplane used for training, the cost and availability of both instructor and equipment.
