STOL (Short Takeoff and Landing) Competitions show another side of flight, showcase the skill, and precision of pilots who have mastered the art of flying low and slow -- so it was a natural event to offer at this year’s SnF gathering. Demonstrations were hosted all week of the National STOL Competition Series during the SUN 'n FUN Aerospace Expo!
The National STOL Competition uses a fixed line that competitors must land beyond, and their distance is recorded when their tires stop. For takeoffs, pilots start on the line and take off in the shortest distance. In both cases, the distance is measured from the start line. This year’s exciting STOL demonstrations took place in the Paradise City Light Plane area on the South end of the field.
