Aerobatic & Unusual Attitude Training

Our flight instructors offer training for basic aerobatic maneuvers in a Bellanca Decathlon. The Decathlon has 150 HP, is fitted with a constant speed propeller and has fully-inverted cabability.

This training gives pilots the skill and confidence to recover from unexpected unusual flight attitudes.  Such conditions can occur unexpectedly from wake turbulence, wind shear, and convective activity. 
  
Students will experience maneuvers past the usual pitch and bank thresholds.  It is likely that many flight problems occur from timidity and over-cautiousness.  Both are the result of lack of experience in the full operational envelope of an airplane.  The maneuvers are fun, too!
