Aero Linx: National Aerobatics Day
The skill, beauty, and excitement of aerobatic flight will be celebrated on Saturday, June 26, during the inaugural National Aerobatics Day, as announced by Jim Bourke, President of the International Aerobatics Club (IAC). IAC has established National Aerobatics Day as the fourth Saturday in June each year. It will highlight the dedicated pilots who fly these precision maneuvers as well as the support teams and volunteers that make it possible.
Instrument Approach Operations [ICAO]
An approach and landing using instruments for navigation guidance based on an instrument approach procedure. There are two methods for executing instrument approach operations:
A two-dimensional (2D) instrument approach operation, using lateral navigation guidance only; and
A three-dimensional (3D) instrument approach operation, using both lateral and vertical navigation guidance.
“Aerobatics is another way to improve your overall stick and rudder skills. It is a natural extension to upset training that is often encouraged by plane manufactures and insurance companies."
