I am just doing some research on what is happening in other parts of the world as Australia is rewriiting the licensing reg now and wondering if there is any update on this yet? I found the following info online:
The exercises of the aerobatic flying training syllabus should be repeated as necessary until the applicant achieves a safe and competent standard. The training should be tailored to the category of aircraft and limited to the permitted manoeuvres of that type of aircraft. The exercises should comprise at least the following practical training items (if permitted):
4.1. Aerobatic manoeuvres
– Chandelle
– Lazy Eight
– Aileron Roll
– Barrel Roll
– Rudder Roll
– Loop and inverted loop
– Immelmann
– Split S
4.2. Confidence manoeuvres and recoveries
– slow flights and stalls
– steep turns
– side slips
– engine restart in flight (if applicable)
– spins and recovery
– recovery from spiral dives
– recovery from unusual attitudes
What categories of aircraft are there?
