My understanding was that it is limited to utility category for most a/c...
In which case you can only take the number of pax listed as the number for that category.
most cases this is one (1)...
check the poh for these limitations, it isnt a regulatory thing i dont think.

The 172 can only be spun in the utility catergory which restricts it to 2 Pob, and a smattering of gas.
Most have entry speeds for semi aerobatic maneuvers printed somewhere, like wingovers, lazy eights, chandelles and unexcelerated stalls, but usually has the big old Spins prohibited on it as well.

Just use a PURPOSE built aerobatic machine and be done with it, one that is designed to do aerobatics, instead of trying to do manoevres of sorts in slightly semi-aerobatic machines.
Makes you wonder, when you hire out ZK-XXX, a 172N from somewhere, just what it has been through during it's 25 year life....I shudder just thinking about it.
I'll stick to purpose built aero machines thanks very much.

Hi guys,
I teach GA aerobatics and I have not had one student without an aerobatic background, not try and kill me during their first couple of barrel rolls by ending up in a monster dive through disorientation and lack of nose position awareness.... SO BE WARNED
Spinning can pose some challenges outside the limits, you might not think it makes a difference and it doesn’t .... UNTIL YOU TRY AND RECOVER.
For fifty bucks more, go up with someone in an aircraft that is designed for aero's and have some real FUN.

I echo Wombat's comments on this page.
Go out and pay an instructor to teach you to do this stuff in a proper approved aerobatics machine.
More experienced pilots than you all have died doing this stuff.
I can't believe people are posting techniques on here - and reading it, it's obvious that these guys don't know what the hell they are talking about.
Think about what you write, or you'll be reading about another pilot and his pax in the papers....

A normal aileron roll does not imply any stress on the airframe. It is a 1G manouvere.
Just having 1 on the G meter (assuming you have one!!) does nt mean you haven't stressed the airframe.
If it's not designed to do it, don't
