AOPA Aerobatic Certificate
AOPA is actively involved in encouraging pilots to achieve added competence, and the AOPA Aerobatic Certificate course was specifically designed for those pilots who are interested in obtaining skill in basic aerobatic manoeuvres.

A number of AOPA Corporate Flying Training Organsisations in the UK are registered to conduct courses for the AOPA Aerobatic Certificate, which follows a specially designed syllabus of training.

The CAA did consider introducing a compulsory rating for any pilot who wished to perform solo aerobatics, but now the Authority recognizes the revised AOPA Course as a practical alternative. This course comprises 8 hours dual flying with an approved instructor who is qualified to give aerobatic instruction, covering the standard manoeuvres, and 8 hours of ground briefings/lectures.

Upon completion of the course to the required standard, the applicant will be signed off as competent at basic aerobatic manoeuvres on an application form provided in the Syllabus and upon receipt of this form, we will issue an AOPA Aerobatic Certificate to provide evidence of competency.

We are pleased to announce the new Aerobatic Syllabi (Basic and Standard).

FREE to AOPA Corporate Members who are registered to run the Aerobatic courses or a copy can be purchased from AOPA.
