Aerobatics Rating
Must be nearly 100 years ago that the term "aerial acrobatics" was shortened to "aerobatics" in the vernacular.
And, yes, the CAAP does explain it all and the word "acrobatic" appears often.

Thanks djpil.
Yeah, I'd put a nut on it.
CAR 2 only interprets the words as they are used in the regs.
CAAP 155
Definitions, first paragraph
The times they are a changin'

CAAP 155
Definitions, first paragraph
2.1.1 Current regulations refer to 'acrobatic flight', however 'aerobatics' is a more specific term which is in widespread use and will be used in the proposed new CASRs Parts 91 (General Operating and Flight Rules) and 61 (Flight Crew Licensing). Therefore this CAAP will use the term 'aerobatics' in relation to 'acrobatic flight'.

Q. How many shiny bum legal professionals does it take to make a regulation?
A. As many as it takes to make it confusing.
(look anywhere you like for your evidence)

Mark,
Straight up and down reply,
CAR 155 Para 2
FAR's go one further and include 30 degrees of pitch attitude.
Amused reply,
Is there a definition for retentive in there?
601, did I say the quote was law? No.
Read the content. I've still got that nut out.
