Aerobatics is an adventure packed with excitement. The dream of flying an aircraft comes to life with recreational aerobatic adventures that are quickly becoming popular. The highlight of the adventure is the part when it's time for the participant to perform aerobatic manoeuvres.
You stood in awe watching the planes do the manoeuvres from below, now prepare for the absolute adrenalin rush when doing them yourself! Here's a list of the top 5 aerobatic manoeuvres as a guide to the most enjoyable ones to do.
Ask your pilot for their availability in your aerobatics repertoire and enjoy the ride!
Aerobatic manoeuvres are flight paths that place an aircraft in unusual positions. These manoeuvres are commonly seen in air shows, and dog fights. The five basic manoeuvres of aerobatics are:
• LINES are a straight flight path that an aircraft takes. This starting manoeuvre can be horizontal or vertical.
• LOOPS are similar to a roller coaster loop but in the air. This move can be done with the plane starting from a right side up position or from an upside down position.
• ROLLS are where the aircraft spins on its side while staying on the flight axis. Simply speaking, it's a movement similar to roasting a marshmallow.
• SPINS are similar to a downward spiralling action. Imagine a roll only going to a downward direction.
• HAMMERHEAD imitates the action of hammering a nail. The aircraft flies up and down in a vertical manner coming from a straight horizontal path. Similar to writing the capital letter "L" in the air. Variations of this manoeuvre occur when the aircraft exits abruptly from the middle of the vertical fly path.
These manoeuvres were compiled by a man into a set of figures, each depicting the process of completing each move. This compilation became so popular since it gave pilots an easier way of learning manoeuvres and remembering them. This is the Aresti Catalogue. Spanish aviator Colonel Jose Luis de Aresti Aguirre designed this catalogue that comprises of geometric shapes and numbers. The catalogue showed precisely how a manoeuvre is flown that to date it is used as the standard document of the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale (FAI).
Now on to the top manoeuvres in the Aerobatics field:
1. Immelman Turn. This is a movement that starts from a horizontal straight with the nose pitching up to perform a half loop then finishing off with a barrel roll to exit.
2. Cuban 8. This is done by starting with a straight line path then on to 2/3 of a loop. The plane exits the loop upside down, then connect another 2/3 roll with a roll of 180 degrees.
3. Half Cuban Eight.
4. Inverted Half Cuban Eight
5. Inverted Loop is similar to the loop but the airplane enters the loop flying in an upside down position.

Axis of Deceit (Large Print 16pt) $34.05 How a former intelligence officer became a whistleblower on a collision course with his countrys government. On 11 March 2003 Andrew Wilkie resigned from Australias senior intelligence agency the Office of National Assessments in protest over the looming Iraq war. He was the only serving Intelligence Officer from the Coalition of the Willing the US UK and Australia to do so and his dramatic action was reported throughout the world. In Axis of Deceit Wilkie offers timely insights into the world of international intelligence and details of his life as a spook in the lead up to a controversial and divisive war. Wilkies pre war statements have proven remarkably accurate; he was convinced Iraq did not pose a serious enough security threat to justify a war. In particular he assessed Iraqs military to be weak Iraqs Weapons of Mass Destruction program to be disjointed and contained no evidence of Iraqs active co operation with al Quaida Wilkie assesses how the case for war was made in Washington London and Canberra and explains how the three governments routinely skewed spun and fabricated the relevant intelligence.
