Scoring and Figures

  • Aresti_Sequence_Card

    A competition aerobatic sequence consists of a set of precisely defined maneuvers performed in a certain order, flown in a specified direction. Pilots are judged on both how well they fly the maneuvers and follow their sequence.
    The Aresti Cryptographic System was developed to precisely diagram the details of the sequence through pictographs of each maneuver drawn on a sequence card or flimsy . Each maneuver starts with a circle and ends in a small vertical hash mark as seen below.

Competition Aerobatics - What Is It?

Aerobatic Performance Zone
Competition Aerobatics takes place on a playing field just like most other sports. The only difference is the playing field or "Box" is in the sky. Just like all sports there are penalties for leaving the field of play.

"Outs" or "Boundary Infringements as they are referred to in Competition Aerobatics are verified by "Boundary Judges" that sit on the ground and use a sighting device to determine penalties.
