Blown Seal well done thankyou.
Squawk7700,
you are a real tosser.
It's amazing what you find when you bother to look into the regs and not just make stuff up.
You have offered no information from the regs, that info came from Directanywhere, myself and Blownseal. You relied on info from "what my instructor said".
I understand where you are coming from, however airspeed must come into play when determining an aerobatic manoeuvre.
Really. Where is that in the REGs
You were waffling on about being able to maintain speed at certain AoA, 55 degrees being your chosen figure!
They got him easily on the "aerobatic" clause, and can get you very easily because when you climb an angle of attack where you are unable to maintain a constant (flyable) airspeed, that is classified as an aerobatic manoeuvre. Eg, steep pull-up resulting in a negative g push-over.
I am not aware of any "civilian" aircraft that can do that at 45 degrees. I would regard 45 degrees as steep. The steepest I see these days is 20 degrees on climb after take-off, and I would suggest not many types climb that steep.
JEEEEEZ
