Ultimate High Aerobatics competition for Beginners
Kemble Weds 19th July 2006
Following on from the success of last year's Aerobatic Competition for Beginners, Ultimate High will be hosting another event for pilots at AOPA Aerobatics Certificate level or similar at Kemble on Wednesday 19th July. Designed to encourage those who have not already flown any formal competition aerobatics, this event will allow pilots to be guided through a typical Beginners event in a relaxed and friendly environment.
Last year 10 student aerobatic pilots flew the Beginner's sequence twice each, with a detailed debrief and tips from aerobatic instructors and a top judge over a buffet lunch. Competitors can either fly with a safety pilot (UH will make Instructors available) or can fly solo subject to normal signoffs. Aircraft used will primarily be UH Bulldogs, although other aircraft will also be allowed to enter. A number of last year's entrants have now gone on to fly in full BAeA competitions. The format has been viewed as highly successful and has been adapted by the BAeA for their 'Classic Aircraft Event', to be held this Saturday 17th June at Leicester (www.aerobatics.org.uk/sites/regclassicevent06.htm).
The day will commence with a pilot briefing on the sequence to be flown, the 2006 BAeA Beginner’s sequence, and will focus on how the judges will score the individual manoeuvres and the sequence as a whole. This will include discussion around use of the Competition Display Box and adjustments for wind, as well as the practicalities of scheduling take-offs, holding off, start/end of the competition sequence and landing afterwards. Advice on the sequence can be found at www.aerobatics.org.uk/judging/judging-example.htm
The event will take place at Kemble and will be flown in the overhead, with scoring from ground-based judges and constructive feedback from competition aerobatic pilots. Pilots will fly a scored morning sequence, receive feedback, and then fly a scored afternoon sequence. Prizes will be awarded for best sequence and most improved pilot.
