The British Aerobatic Association (BAeA) are the sport flying Association responsible in the UK for scheduling and running aerobatic competitions for powered aircraft and gliders to internationally approved FAI / CIVA rules.
They run about fifteen events each year throughout the UK and Eire. National champions are declared in four power and three glider classes, and they send teams to all three annual international aerobatic championships.
Pilots and aviation enthusiasts are warmly encouraged to meet BAeA members at a contest, particularly to assist on the judging line - ask for the Chief Judge or the Contest Director. If you're a pilot, flying in an aerobatic contest is the most exhilarating fun you can have.... and much easier to achieve than most imagine.
Why not go and find out more about flying, judging, assisting or just viewing at a BAeA aerobatic competition.
