First a Disclaimer: Any descriptions of aerobatics figures should not be
interpreted as instructions. No pilot should attempt to fly any of these
figures in aircraft not certified for aerobatic flight. Further, no pilot
should attempt these figures without training from a competent aerobatics
instructor. These descriptions are incomplete as instructional material and
will get you into trouble if you believe that they are.
Aerobatics competition flying is organized in the USA by the International
Aerobatic Club (IAC). It is a sport that requires skill and practice. If all
the rules are followed, it is quite safe. There are several dozen regional
competitions each year in the US. Once every two years, the World Aerobatics
Championships are held. They are in different countries each time and attract
the best of the world of aerobatics competition. If you have information
about the aerobatics organization in your country, please let me know so I can
include it in this FAQ.
